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.
