Welcome!
Questr Automation, Inc. is a veteran-owned, West Virginia-based, mission-driven technology startup that helps family farms automate manual processes and repetitive tasks using smart, practical, automation (sensor networks, drones, robotics, automated ventilation systems, precision irrigation, automated feeding and watering systems, etc.). We make your farm more productive, more profitable and more sustainable.
We believe smart farming shouldn't be overly expensive or confusing. Questr Automation also unifies your existing farm tools into a single, easy-to-use platform that works as hard as you do. From the poultry house to the orchard, we provide the automation you need to save time, reduce labor, and stop worrying about your technology. It's not just smart; it's common sense.
Questr provides for its customers a financial navigation service designed to lower the cost and the risk of modern ag tech adoption. Questr will help you navigate USDA and your state ag agencies in pursuit of grants, loans, and cost-shares. We can also capitalize on the automation process to secure preferential rates from ag lenders and insurers based on the fact that an automated farm is a better investment than a traditional farm.
We expect no farmer worth their salt to purchase an expensive piece of equipment when it might take four days or four weeks for the manufacturer to get a tech onsite to fix it when it breaks. That's why we're training a group of local support technicians in our ROOST Apprenticeship program. Soon, we'll be able to guarantee sub 4-hour service. When it breaks, we'll fix it fast.
At Questr Automation, Inc., we believe your word should be backed by hard data. Our sensors provide verified proof of the work you’re putting in, which means faster payouts from insurance and better terms from your bank. We eliminate the guesswork and the back-and-forth paperwork. It’s about making sure the people who fund and insure your farm see the same 'ground-truth' that you do every single morning.

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."
