May Event: The most profitable farm diversification strategy 2024 - Mobile Data Centres

How do data centres work without huge amounts of power and great internet connectivity? I can't think that there are many rural locations that will fulfil these requirements.
The machines can be very versatile in what operations they do. Yes some aspects of the workload require a very good internet connection whilst some other tasks don't need as good of an internet connection. In terms of power, one machine (at it's worst) uses about 2kwh, but they are very rarely pulling that much power. So, a standard house plug and an internet connection can run these machines. The benefit for farmers is that they can often have access to renewable energy, which means they can make more from putting their power into a data centre than selling it to the grid. Again, this is a versatile option that can work around a lot of factors, which is why we want to put on the event to show how farms all over the UK have made use of tech like this.
 
Hi Josh,

Thanks for the update.

As others have said we need a worked example off you if we are to travel to see you.

Like others we have plenty of use for heat and an awful lot of renewable energy at our disposal in various locations with space to boot.

Please can you offer a worked example from one of your existing farms please?
In terms of working examples, we have many farms all over the UK that we have been working with for years. It was covered in the documentary Crypto Farmers and the various articles about us that you can find on the BBC, Farmers Weekly, and more, the documentary can be watched here: https://www.docplus.com/details/crypto-farmers/yS3k3V1P/

Note though, that documentary was when our technology was used for crypto mining. As Josh stated above, and as the event page states, our hardware is now able to do crypto mining and AI applications. It's this AI aspect of the technology that is often most appealing to farmers as it is paid in cash. So, if you don't want to be involved in crypto you don't have to be.

We also have a PDF available on our site which runs you through the details of how our machines work.

That might be the most lucrative option.
2kwh at £1.27 is 22k gross a year per gpu assuming its running flat chat, but sounds like they generally run at much less than that, a guess, 1kwh average? £11k income for £3k of electricity plus a GPU which is £25,000 plus vat, computers, 5 year depreciation £5k a year, electric 3k Internet £500 £8,500 cost for 11k return... depending on efficiency which appears to be better with multiple gpus, so individually the £1.27 may not be realistic. It's a reasonable profit expectancy. Can't help but wonder which bank would lend to buy crypto mining gear on a large scale or how many farmers have 25k to spare for just one unit let alone 10 or 20 of them to make an income that's 250k investment minimum? Right now I'd be better off buying sheep and rearing lambs.

Josh, easy crypto. I'm not buying it, I'm sorry. However I've 8000ft2 available if you'd like to rent it for your data centre empire. By both our maths it should be ample area for you to become a billionaire very quickly and pay me 200k a year for the space?

Dont quote me on that nonsence pal... i am just a chalk miner.... leave the TFF oligarchs to play... just head to the pub or do something else... you cant win.. i hate TFF but maybe post about your organic farm or something... sorry but quoting me with you post is just chalky ...

I'm all up for diversification, done enough of it. I'm quite disappointed in TFF for advertising such 200% roi nonsense and then defending it. What these guys are modelling does somewhat stack up I think... if you don't have morals at least. But it's miles off 200%roi and I just have that bit of me that people buy into it in desperation sometimes, buying a 25k lie could end some if not many farmers. Quite happy do defend myself on the oligarchs. Oh, organic is going well mining flint coin BTW

Well done for having morality but if you go against the TFF profit angle on these threads they will just ban you from posting.. tread carefully and remember the long game.. striking flint can cause fire by the way😊

Huno, I see I can't even pm you for your past sins... you did get a bit damaging I won't deny, but you spoke many truths amongst the damage. If I save ten farmers 25k each or one farmer 250k for highlighting the truth over a ban on a forum I'd choose morality every time. Flint coin, my joke or not could make me very rich without thinking... just a thought. £600/t....

I've got the space, I've got some capital reserves, and a landline that delivers 2mbps.

I think I need to think of something else.

I was wondering the same thing, it surely can only ever process at the speed of your Internet connection for cloud.

maybe stop "wondering" and go learn ? its a free offer, I'm interested BUT will make my decision on if its wise based on what I learn .........


I have space and power and I understand servers and computers reasonably well, I'm also good with numbers and business / investment and have a decent bullshite filter - I will not be investing in anything I'm not pretty confident or WELL INFORMED about

if nothing else I get a free lunch ! :unsure:

TFF has no "angle" an has no connection to the company

I'm going to make time personally to go listen for no other than the reasons in my post above

Thanks Clive, I think I've learned enough that the jaw dropping opening statement isn't realistic. Rather ambitious claims going on there.... if they were true it begs to question why Josh Riddett with his love of money isn't investing in it solely and wants to share the wealth maker, its apparently a self perpetuating billionaire making machine... I wouldn't share that about personally, I'd get on and make the money! Geography says its an 8 hr day on the road for me so not really a free lunch, nice gesture though. Good luck to you all wishing to invest, ignore the cynic in me!

There was good money to be earned post 2008 breaking up and selling off bankrupt sub prime assets! Opportunities ahead prehaps?

This all sounds rather too much like a pyramid scheme to me. Buy a machine from us for £25k and then make money using “our system”.

I’d be more reassured if I didn’t need to make a large upfront investment in equipment that I know nothing about, that I cannot value myself and am totally reliant upon others. That creates a massive unknown risk.

That risk would be significantly lower for the manufacturer if the machine was owned by themselves….those who built and understand it.

Would hire not make more sense?

How come the odds haven't had a single farmer of 70 or so using this technology come forward and wax lyrical, I thought TFF had a membership number of nearly half of all UK farmers?... that says 35 on here are likely using it but won't comment?

Location: Village Hotel Bury, Rochdale Road, Bury, BL9 7BQ

The Farming Forum has teamed up with the award winning hardware manufacturer Easy Compute to bring you an educational talk about how AI and blockchain technology is helping farmers to diversify their land.

Over the past 7 years, Easy Compute have been working with farmers, agricultural businesses, and renewable energy farms all across the UK to help turn leftover space into mini data centres. With their support, education, and services, farmers have been able to generate upwards of £1.27 PPKW and an ROI of 201% without the need for building permissions, extra staff, and all the other hassles associated with the more traditional routes available to landowners and farmers.

Conducting talks all across the UK at some of the biggest farming and agricultural shows, Josh Riddett (CEO) has been working with farmers to show them alternative options of income. His work has been covered in the amazon documentary Crypto Farmers, in various publications such as the BBC, Energy Now, Farmers Weekly, and many more.


This talk will cover the following topics:
  • Current issues facing the farming industry and renewable energy sector
  • Alternative diversification models outside of the traditional routes
  • Why are data centres appropriate for farms?
  • How can data centres create passive returns with less restrictions and no extra staff requirements?
  • What is AI?
  • What is the Blockchain?
  • A look at some of the farms currently utilising this technology and how they are generating £1.27 PPKW and a 201% ROI
Lunch will also be provided on the day as well and we will have a Q&A section to make sure you have the chance to ask any questions that might be on your mind. Since Josh's manufacturing facility is also based in Bury, there will be the chance for people to head over to the warehouse after the talk to see the machines in person and how they work.

So, if you have a plug socket and an internet connection why not find out how you can utilise it to make a truly passive revenue stream for your land, farm, and business. It might sound like pixie dust and magic beans, but Josh and the team will be on hand to show you the wonders of this amazing opportunity. Learn how over 70 farmers across the UK are benefiting from modern technology and the world of mini-data centres from leading industry experts.

In my rural location my BT copper wire broadband provides about 1 to 1.5 Mbps and way less upload speed.
