Iona
Iona is a tiny city in southern Murray County in the southwestern Minnesota prairie, a very small farm community with German-Catholic roots and a base of agriculture and the trades and service businesses that support the surrounding farmland. Its prairie setting anchors a small rural economy. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Iona area's agriculture, trades, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Iona, Minnesota?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a tiny prairie farm community in southern Murray County is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. An Iona client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does being a very small community make support harder?
No — it's the opposite. A tiny farm community like Iona is exactly where remote-first support matters most: you get fast help without anyone needing to make the long drive across the prairie.
What would you build for an Iona farm or trades business?
Usually a recordkeeping, production, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so an Iona business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Can you help an Iona row-crop, hog, or cattle operation with recordkeeping and logistics?
Yes — a row-crop, hog, or cattle operation near Iona is exactly who we build production, recordkeeping, inventory, herd, and logistics tools for, around how the season and the haul actually run.

What does a custom platform cost an Iona business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Iona operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
