Leaf Agriculture has raised $13 million in a Series B round to expand its AI-powered agricultural data infrastructure. The Los Angeles, California company announced the round on June 10, 2026.

The financing was co-led by Leaps by Bayer, the investment arm of the agriculture and pharmaceutical giant, along with a group of prominent industry strategics. That backing reflects how central data has become to modern agriculture, and how much established players want a stake in the companies organizing it.

Founded in 2021, Leaf works with some of the largest agricultural suppliers across the supply chain, including Bayer, BASF, Growmark and Syngenta. Its role is to connect and analyze the data those companies generate, cleaning and structuring information that is often messy and scattered across different systems. By turning raw, fragmented data into something usable, Leaf gives its partners the foundation they need to build advanced AI tools for the industry.

The pitch is essentially that Leaf provides the plumbing beneath agricultural AI. Sophisticated models are only as good as the data feeding them, and in agriculture that data has historically been hard to access and harder to standardize. Leaf positions itself as the layer that solves that problem, which is why a company like Bayer would want to both use the platform and invest in it.

The company plans to use the new funds to expand its operations and development efforts. With deep relationships across the major agricultural suppliers and a fresh round backed by one of the sector’s largest names, Leaf is working to cement its position as a core data provider for an industry increasingly looking to AI for its next gains.
