What the land

before you plant.

Soil composition, satellite passes, and microclimate windows — combined into per-acre yield predictions before the first seed breaks ground.

Three data streams.
One ground truth.

Before the model runs a single inference, the ingestion pipeline validates, cross-references, and spatially aligns inputs down to the parcel boundary.

We run 11,400 hectares of soybean rotation across four counties. Forecast gave us per-acre predictions in February that came within 2.8 bushels of our actual August harvest. That accuracy window changed how we allocate inputs entirely.

I advise seventeen cooperatives on seed and fertilizer allocation. Before Forecast, I was working off county extension averages and gut feel. Now I have field-level confidence intervals I can put in front of a board.

I trade regional soybean output variance for a mid-size commodity desk. The confidence intervals Forecast produces are tight enough to build hedge ratios against. We ran a backtest against five seasons — the model beat our internal analysts on RMSE three years out of five.
