Farming is one of America’s most important jobs, and also one of its most complex. Every season, growers face thousands of decisions that directly impact yields, costs, and compliance. With razor-thin margins and a flood of new research, regulations, and products coming out every year, it’s harder than ever to stay on top of the best growing strategies.
That’s why a team of agricultural professionals and computer scientists from LSU built FarmSmarter.ai, the first Agricultural Intelligence platform designed to put trusted, tailored, and unbiased intelligence in your pocket 24/7 while integrating and improving many current workflows (taking field notes, managing field GIS information, identifying plants, insects, fungus, etc). Our system designed to support both growers and consultants, saving them time and helping them avoid costly mistakes.
📚 University-Backed Data: Every recommendation by our state-of-the-art virtual assistant, Farmer AI, is grounded in peer-reviewed research, extension guidance, and EPA/USDA regulations. Unlike many other tools (or advisors tied to product sales), FarmSmarter is independent, giving you unbiased, citation-backed advice you can verify.
🗺️ GIS Mapping & Localized Insights: Upload field boundaries and other field data and get location-specific recommendations tailored to your unique conditions. Whether it’s nutrient management, pest control, or weed resistance, our GIS integration ensures precision. Plus, those managing many fields can organize and share field information more seamlessly than with any other system.
📝 Field Notes (Organized and Searchable): FarmSmarter lets you log field notes right inside the platform, from planting dates to pest sightings to input applications. Notes can be linked with exact location information, date, and type, giving you a complete picture of your operation. If you already have physical notes written out, simply take a picture, upload them, and they will be automatically converted in to digital, organized, and searchable field notes. This saves hours of paperwork and creates a reliable digital record for reference season after season.
📊 Field Dashboards + Financial Tracking: See all the information about each of your fields on the field dashboard. Inside field dashboards, we’ve just launched a beta version of our financial dashboard. Now you can track costs, inputs, and ROI across your fields in real time. Then, you can have the AI assistant can analyze every line of your operations to turn complex farm data into clear, actionable insights and suggestions. And this is just the beginning. Each field dashboard also includes a clear timeline view showing past actions taken, rainfall and weather events, and (soon) projected upcoming actions so growers and consultants can see the full story of a field at a glance. And soon, we’ll roll out expanded economic optimization tools including profitability forecasts, market data integration, and advanced predicative financial modeling to help every operation maximize ROI while automatically documenting important information.
🌱 Plant, Insect, and Fungus Identification: Snap a picture in the field and quickly identify weeds, insects, or fungi. Our system, trained on millions of agricultural images and fine-tuned with extension data, achieves higher accuracy than leading ID apps. Each identification can then be used to get research-backed management recommendations, including finding exact relevant research showing targeted treatments, application rates, and timing to quickly inform your field managed plans.
And that’s just the start. We release weekly updates based on user feedback, making the platform more powerful and more practical every day. Some of what we are rolling out in the coming months includes:
- Automated analysis of soil tests to recommend exact precision application plans.
- Advanced economic optimizations and insights.
- Additional automations throughout the platform.
Save money: Avoid costly misapplications and optimize inputs.
Save time: Initial users tell us FarmSmarter reduces document lookup and research time by up to 95% giving them hours back every week.
Stay compliant: Virtual assistant insights are checked against current regulations to ensure compliance. Also, since the EPA’s new ESA rules are complex, we are soon launching a “TurboTax for Ag,” component of the platform walking you through compliance requirements and automatically producing the documentation you need.
Boost yields sustainably: By combining university-backed data with hyper-local field insights, FarmSmarter helps you protect your land and maximize your harvest for years to come.
