I build tools for row-crop farms from their own data: yield maps, planting records, the spreadsheets and the books. Built around how your operation runs, with the math shown so you can check the work.
The Field Report is live now. Tap a field anywhere in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota or Indiana and it pulls the soils, elevation and satellite photos for that field, flags the spots that look like they hold water or run light, and gives you a planting file to check against what you already know.
Open the Field ReportIt’s built from public data: USDA soil survey, USGS elevation, Sentinel-2 satellite photos, NASA and NOAA rainfall, and USDA county yields.
It hasn’t seen your yield maps, your tile, your hybrids or your planter. It’s a starting point, not agronomic advice. That’s what a build is for.
Every monitor, map and program on the farm makes numbers. Very little of it turns into a call you can act on. So the evenings go to the office, reconciling one system against another.
This isn’t software you sign up for and figure out yourself. It’s a project for your operation. This winter I’m taking on five row-crop farms of 2,000 acres and up, before planting.
30 minutes on the phone. You tell me how your operation runs, and we look for where a build could save you time or money. If it isn’t worth it for you, I’ll tell you that.
Your records, your fields, the way you actually run. What it costs depends on how big a build you want, from a few fields to the whole farm.
Check strips in the field and a sit-down after harvest, so the answer comes from your own bushels.
I’m Daniel Knutson. I farm with my family near Meservey, Iowa: corn and soybeans, an organic rotation with alfalfa and oats, and cattle and goats. I know the pain firsthand. The data was there, the answers weren’t, and the evenings kept getting eaten in the office.
So I build practical tools around the way a farm actually runs, not one-size-fits-all software.
Mostly row crops, with enough fields and records that the fragmentation shows up every week.
Not off-the-shelf software. Your fields, your inputs, the way you actually run.
You want the math behind every answer, and a way to check it in the field, not more homework.
30 minutes on the phone. We go over your operation and look for where a build could save you time or money. If it isn’t worth it for you, I’ll tell you that.
