Jay Hess serves as the Managing Director of Orbit Farm Technologies, an agricultural technology partner dedicated to protecting the integrity of pork production through advanced connectivity and monitoring. Jay’s work in the swine industry began in 2021 when he spearheaded the delivery of robust network infrastructure across all of Brenneman Pork’s sow farms. Serving as Director of Product for Orbit’s parent company, CCR Technologies, until 2024, his career has been driven by the goal of building scalable, reliable tools that minimize operational downtime. Today, he leads the charge on “Eyes on Glass,” a proactive managed service that removes the burden of oversight from the producer by analyzing barn movements to guarantee total compliance with internal biosecurity rules across the entire operation.
Justin White serves as a Sales Executive at Orbit Farm Technologies, bringing over 20 years of experience to helping agricultural producers improve business connectivity and operational efficiency. His path into agriculture technology began with hands-on industry roles, including Field Sales Agronomist at GROWMARK and Sales, Marketing & Precision Specialist at Hook’s Point Irrigation, providing him with a practical, on-the-ground understanding of the day-to-day challenges producers encounter. He later built his technical sales expertise in sales at a major national telecommunications provider, delivering network, security, and communications solutions to business and government clients.
A graduate of Iowa State University with a degree in Agricultural Systems Technology, Justin combines deep agronomic roots with a career-long focus on connectivity, driving the technology partnerships that keep today’s farms running efficiently.
