Dakota Micro, Inc.

In April of 1994, Dave and Charissa Rubey moved from Southern California back to Red River Valley of North Dakota. After farming in North Dakota for 5 years, Dave developed a herniated disk in his neck, and had to have a cervical fusion. For the following eight weeks, he was stuck wearing a full neck brace. Without being able to turn his head, harvesting the crops seemed like an impossible challenge. Desperate for a practical solution, Dave searched for a suitable camera system that could take the abuse of farming. His search failed but led him to use his engineering and electronics knowledge to build the AgCam system. Dakota Micro, Inc. was incorporated in October 2002 and his system would grow to become known as the most rugged and dependable in the industry.
