Meet Emily Cowin

Emily Cowin is a beacon of innovation from Atlantic Canada. With her diverse expertise and passion for sustainability, she brings a pioneering story to our October stage — one that is transforming industrial-scale potato farming in Prince Edward Island.

A First for Potatoes — Right Here in PEI

46 AG Agricultural Technology is leading the charge locally as Atlantic Canada’s dealer for 360 Rain, an advanced autonomous irrigation system. Emily and her team are the first in the world to adapt this cutting-edge technology for large-scale potato farms on Prince Edward Island.

The Innovation: 360 Rain Irrigation System

360 Rain is a computer-guided, autonomous machine designed to deliver water, nutrients, and even manure directly and precisely to each plant’s base—day and night. Its unique design covers irregularly shaped fields that traditional irrigation pivots cannot reach, providing 100% field coverage.

Smarter, Sustainable Farming

• Water Use Cut by Half: 360 Rain significantly reduces water consumption compared to traditional irrigation systems, helping conserve this vital resource.
• Improved Yield & Quality: By precisely spoon-feeding potatoes at their root zones, crops remain healthy and uniform, boosting both yield and quality.
• Local Innovation Leaders: 46 AG goes beyond importing technology by innovating practical approaches that make industrial farming in PEI more sustainable and efficient.

Why This Matters
This is not just a vision — it’s changing how industrial potato farming operates, making the industry greener, more resilient, and more productive. This talk fits perfectly within the Innovation Speaker Series, showcasing real-world scalable solutions from Atlantic Canada.
