How Forage IQ Works

From raw field data to confident harvest decisions in minutes. Forage IQ’s intelligence engine transforms complex crop and climate metrics into clear, timely recommendations that eliminate the guesswork behind harvest timing.

Built around the core principle of the H-Factor—where harvest timing directly impacts nutrition, regrowth, and long-term stand health—Forage IQ gives producers the power to make decisions that maximize yield and protect forage quality.

The Complete Workflow

Five powerful steps that transform your forage management

Capture Field Data

Collect height, GDD+, variety, and environmental metrics in real-time using phone-based measurements, sensors, and location intelligence. This foundational data fuels accurate readiness predictions across every field.

Harvest Window Alerts

AI analyzes crop growth patterns, weather risk, and height thresholds to predict the exact cutting window before quality declines. Receive precision-timed alerts so you never miss peak forage conditions again.

Yield Optimization

Convert field insights into ROI-driven harvest decisions. The system highlights the optimal cut time for each field based on predicted yield, quality retention, and regrowth potential.

Season Management

Manage multi-cut cycles, nutrient trends, and weather-driven crop behavior. The platform adapts to shifting climate conditions to guide long-term forage planning.

Continuous Insights

Transform accumulated data into evolving intelligenEach measurement strengthens future predictions. Forage IQ learns from your fields, creating smarter recommendations season after season. ce that gets smarter with every season.
