Dan Thayer is a licensed professional engineer, certified energy manager and certified indoor air quality professional residing locally. He started his career in farming at age nine growing ornamental maize for local farm stands. By age thirteen he was working as a helper in industrial refrigeration and air conditioning eventually becoming a journeyman mechanic and graduate mechanical engineer.

Thayer has evolved to a highly skilled design/build and maintain mechanical contactor employing 55 professionals working in diverse buildings, factories and oil rigs across the US.

Several years ago, as stated in the news, Thayer was invited to a licensed cannabis cultivation facility to troubleshoot poor HVAC operation. A “eureka” moment happened during this visit in that Dan observed a huge unmet need in the emerging market of precision agriculture. At that time the best practices of the industry were fraught with many poor installations typically relying upon junk science and many false claims.

Dan formed a new company, Lifespring Microclimates, to develop and deploy a scientifically verifiable approach to precision agriculture and branded in “SmartGrow.” The Lifespring team viewed the explosive cannabis market as a type of rapid proving ground for new technologies and know-how that would eventually spill over into food crops. This is exactly what has evolved.

In his great Falls Forum presentation Dan will briefly map the history of hemp and cannabis cultivation and explain how those two crops are reshaping agriculture worldwide to an economically viable, sustainable and scalable approach using the new know-how and technology to organically grow food with 1/30 of the land mass and 1/10 the water.
