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.

They just want to know what do I do. You get a crop plan. So with a push of a button, the trusted advisor or our dealer will then be able to determine about 80 to 90% of that crop plan, hybrid, variety, seed treatment, other inputs, fertilizer recommendations, as well as tillage prescription with a push of a button.

Yeah, and it's not just one thing that's doing that. It's nutrients, it's compaction, it's biofertility attributes, not having the right biofertility levels in your soil. It's pathogens, being able to manage for those things. So we look at those and then we turn around and put that into a very simple and easy to understand crop plan that their trusted advisor can give to the grower.

No, that's actually not one of the most under-managed pathogens that's in soybeans here in Central Iowa. The most under-managed pathogen in soybeans is going to be red crown rot. Really? Yep. And what do you do? And that's about an average of, you know, anywhere from 5 to 10 bushels is what we found on the 300 fields that we tested and ran through our model.

And for the cost of a 2 1⁄2-acre grid, this doesn't cost any more, but you get 100 times the resolution in terms of the output. Why is that important? If you look at the results on a 2 1⁄2-acre grid, you get a lot of variability from one zone to another. Well, that matters when you're applying the materials, whether that be lime or whether that be phosphorus or potassium.

If you're going from one zone to another that has a 200-pound difference, that belt on the application equipment can't keep up, and so you end up either under or over applying on those zones.

When you have the resolution that we have with our nutrient product through Earth Optics, there's a smoothing factor that can happen as that equipment goes across the field, so you're getting a more accurate representation of what actually needs to go out.

I would think of it more as predictive agronomy than predictive analytics. The reason I say that is because everything that we're focused on delivering to the grower is based on agronomic practices. And so we're looking forward at what are the threats that are in that field when we do the sampling in the fall of what they're going to be facing in the spring so that they can build that crop plan.
