Origins

George retired from a 21+ year career in software and started building SW and HW for solar powered, hard working robots (grading, snow management of his mountain hideout). During one of the visits with a friend / neighbor and part time hay farmer, they talked about herbicide use and the main worries for small acreage farmers. After further research on the economics, pollution and labor shortage that makes land care at small scale marginal, George decided to start dCentralized Systems and help folks and their land stay healthy and productive.
