Palantir Scores $300M USDA Deal to Shore Up Farmland and Food Supply
Palantir won a $300 million contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to deploy its software for farmland management, signaling a broader role in government tech beyond defense as farmers face rising costs and supply-chain risks from geopolitical tensions and trade frictions. The deal arrives amid scrutiny of Palantir’s government work with agencies like DHS/ICE, even as the company contends its tools help safeguard critical infrastructure amid global uncertainty.
