What You'll Be Part Of

The significance of this mission

Design Revolutionary Technology

Create the first open-source modular tractor system that gives farmers complete control over repairs, upgrades, and modifications. No proprietary software locks. No dealer dependencies.

Own the Cooperative

Founding engineers receive equity ownership in the manufacturing cooperative. Democratic governance ensures one engineer, one vote. Profit-sharing replaces executive extraction.

Break a $4.2B Monopoly

John Deere extracts $4.2 billion annually from farmers through repair monopolies. Your engineering work directly breaks this extraction and returns value to farmers.

Demonstrate the Future

Show the world that engineers can design, build, and own the means of production. Create a template for breaking monopolies in every industry through cooperative ownership.

Are You One of the 247?

You understand that monopolies harm farmers, communities, and the economy

You believe workers should own the means of production and govern democratically

You want to demonstrate cooperative manufacturing at scale

You value truth, healing, and breaking extraction systems

You're ready to be part of history and show the world how it's done

We'll contact you with next steps in the recruitment process
