Welcome!
Questr Automation LLC is a veteran-owned, West Virginia-based technology startup dedicated to modernizing the family farm using practical, affordable automation. In many cases, we become a farm's "Central Nervous System," unifying disconnected hardware—from environmental sensors in broiler houses to precision irrigation for almond orchards—into a single, easy-to-use platform. We pair hands-on field know-how with modern tools to help producers save time, cut labor costs, and protect their bottom line without the headache of managing complex technology.
Questr Automation LLC also transforms traditional agricultural operations into "technologically integrated farms" that serve as mathematically safer investments for lenders and insurers. Our platform utilizes on-farm automation to establish a "Smart Reflex" that autonomously mitigates risk factors in real-time, effectively hardening your portfolio by improving a borrower's repayment capacity and reducing the frequency of loss events. Furthermore, we eliminate basis risk for parametric insurers by providing high-fidelity, field-level "ground-truth" data that facilitates faster, zero-dispute smart contract execution and verified proof-of-effort.

With Questr, automation IS your competitive edge.
"I was skeptical about 'smart farming' at first—around here, that usually just means 'expensive.' But Questr didn't try to sell me a spaceship. They just showed me the numbers. We automated the ventilation adjustments in my broiler houses based on real-time ammonia levels. My propane bill went down because I wasn't over-venting, my birds weighed out heavier, and I hit the top integrator pay bracket for the first time in two years. The system paid for itself in two flocks. It’s not just technology; it’s common sense."

"I run 80 head of Angus on some pretty rough ground in the Potomac Highlands. I used to spend two hours every other day just riding fences and checking water tanks. It felt like I was working for the truck, just burning diesel. Questr set us up with their tank monitors and fence sensors. Now, I check the herd from my phone while I'm having coffee. Last winter, the system alerted me that a tank heater had tripped a breaker at 3:00 AM. I fixed it before the water froze over. That one alert saved me a busted pump and a lot of stressed-out cows."
