He put this time in as well as working at the university, but it's always nice to go home to the farm and know that it's always going to be in our family.

So Pattern Ag was founded in 2018 and we study soil biology and use that to determine what are the risks for the upcoming crop season for the grower. And then we take all that biological data and we turn that into a prescriptive risk-based crop plan for the grower.

Well, therein comes the collaboration with Earth Optics from the nutrient side and from the tillage side. We specialize on the pattern side and the biology. That is the newest space for measuring risks in the field. Up until a few years ago, it was not available because DNA sequencing couldn't be done at scale in agriculture, but it can be now. DNA sequencing in the soil? That is correct.

Normal soil tests don't do that, right? Nope. Normal soil test is a chemical test that looks at nutrient values of your macros and your micros.

Well, you'll actually get a digital crop plan from us is what you'll receive. So we specialize in corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, and sugar beets. And so whenever we run an analysis on that field, we are specifically looking for pathogens like corn rootworm, soybean cyst nematode, sudden death syndrome, red crown rot.

You know, a lot of the bad stuff that's out in the field, we're picking up the DNA signature of those, and we not only measure how much, or not only measure whether it's there, but how much is there. We determine the risk level of what that is, and then what steps you need to do to mitigate that risk for the upcoming crop season. So, on average here, we're in central Iowa right now.

You know, we ran our soil prediction, soil productivity index and we found that a lot of growers, a lot of soybean growers are leaving about 17, 18 bushels on the table just based on not understanding what their risks are in that field and then being able to take action on it. So to answer your question, what do you get back from us? People really don't want to know how the sausage is made.
