This is in our blood. RealmFive is the brainchild of two guys whose earliest memories are working in the fields alongside their father or grandfather. Founders Brant Burkey and Steve Tippery were born and raised on farms and know firsthand the number one problem in agriculture is labor. How can some jobs be made more efficient, how to give the farmer more of the most precious resource: time.
