Bring together your accounting, soil health, planting and harvest logs, food safety records, and other data to make better decisions. Whether you manage one farm or support 100 farmers, we can improve your farm management tech stack.
Read MoreOn-farm research is essential to solving agriculture’s greatest problems. Your work with our experienced agricultural researchers can result in frameworks that get the most from your effort while protecting farm data privacy.
Read MoreSmart decision making takes into account all available information. Using data-based soil testing and evaluating your management and production practices, we help you take your land stewardship planning to a new level of efficiency and profitability.
Contact UsFood hubs, farmers markets, and other collaborative networks foster knowledge and open agriculture innovation. Our work with your groups starts with needs assessments and runs through digital skills training, developing data-sharing platforms, and other infrastructure building.
Read MoreWe can help you set up technology appropriate for your operation. By removing the grind of manual data entry and transforming spreadsheets into automated tools we can simplify data-driven decision making so you can spend more time in the field and less at your computer.
More infoLimited Offer: We’ve received funds to provide free and cost share technology and data support to farms and agricultural organizations!!!
Let us help you reduce costs, avoid vendor lock‑in, and build a technology ecosystem that’s right for you.
More infoGrant reporting, incentive programs, and research and education projects need efficient data pipelines. With 8+ years’ experience working with organizations to collect, review and manage data from many producers, we can help you get more from your network’s many sources of data.
We use the SoilStack app to create design-based soil sampling plans tailored to our client’s needs. Clients also receive access to the front-end app, which simplifies sample collection and data management by guiding users through in-field collection in a transparent, replicable, and user-friendly way while capturing key metadata.
More infoEvery farm or farm organization has unique data needs, values, and comfort-level with technology. Regardless of your starting point, we have the people, tools, and skills to help you make the most of the agricultural data management technology available today.
Green Things Farm Collective is a diversified vegetable operation with a robust but complicated information system. Using our expertise in farm technology infrastructure we helped them turn complex farm data into practical business insight. By connecting records across multiple systems, we created interoperable data pipelines, integrated an SKU-based farm management system, and built dashboards to track crop profitability over time. We also worked with them on data collection best practices and are continuing our work together to build monthly reviews, identify data quality problems, and create SOPs to design a framework for their continued success.
Renewing the Countryside is a non-profit supporting rural communities and livelihoods, which organizes individuals and organizations involved in local food systems in the US Upper Midwest region. Building on RTC’s strong existing network, we interviewed nine food hubs to:
The Bionutrient Food Association (BFA) is dedicated to increasing quality in the food supply by connecting plant, soil, and human health. We partnered with the BFA to design transparent tools that help growers collect, track, and report data linking soil health, farm practices, and crop nutrient levels. By creating a clear pathway from on-farm data collection through lab analysis and back to growers, we made the process more flexible, accessible, and traceable, boosting farmers’ participation in shared research and advancing the broader effort to understand nutrient density.
The Jamaica Network of Rural Women Producers is an NGO seeking to improve the livelihood of rural women by fostering cooperation and supporting the development of agri-business and micro-enterprise opportunities. We helped them build an open, interoperable data infrastructure that gives them sovereignty over their data, keeping it accessible, connecting their tools, and leaving their organization in control. By building appropriate data collection, management and communication pipelines, we made it easier for the JNRWP to connect with their 1000 members, understand their needs and build programs that address them all while keeping their members’ data secure.
