Lucas comes from a family of farmers in Entre Rios, Argentina. Growing up he noticed how dependent farmers were on the rain for the time of planting. Having played polo professionally for several years, on his trips to Australia, he began to investigate ways to cope with low levels of moisture. This then developed into the first prototype for combining starter irrigation and liquid fertilizer.
