FarmQA's New Tools Transform Nutrient Planning for Agronomists
FarmQA, a leader in agricultural technology, has officially unveiled two innovative agronomy tools designed to revolutionize nutrient planning for agronomists. These new tools, Advanced Prescriptions and Nutrient Blender, aim to minimize the time spent on calculations, allowing professionals to focus more on collaboration with growers. Released on August 12, 2025, these resources promise to provide significant efficiency improvements in nutrient plan formulation.
Advanced Prescriptions: Precision Made Easy
The Advanced Prescriptions tool is built for agronomists who need to efficiently convert soil test results, crop yield goals, and specific nutritional needs into variable rate recommendations. Traditionally, creating these personalized nutrient plans has required a substantial amount of time and extensive calculations. However, Advanced Prescriptions changes the game by enabling agronomists to:
- - Run multiple nutrient formulas simultaneously across several fields,
- - Make rapid adjustments to rates as needed,
- - Export print-ready maps and formats compatible with Variable Rate Technology (VRT).
With Advanced Prescriptions, agronomists can leverage their expertise while the tool manages the tedious math and continuous data crunching. This capability allows for a significant increase in productivity and empowers agronomists to provide tailored solutions to growers with reduced turnaround times. According to Ben Munson, an account executive at FarmQA, “Advanced Prescriptions represents a major advancement in how we can optimize nutrient management, speeding up processes while improving the accuracy of recommendations.”
This solution also accommodates both zone-based and grid-based applications, allowing for detailed field-by-field modifications within the same batch processing. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in contrast to many competing systems, which often lack such granular capabilities. Adam Fordyce, Vice President of Operations at Ronin Agronomy, highlighted its impact by stating that it significantly streamlines the mapping processes and enhances overall efficiency.
Nutrient Blender: Streamlined Fertility Planning
Furthermore, FarmQA's Nutrient Blender tool focuses on flat-rate fertility planning, critical for those involved in pre-season preparations. This tool allows agronomists to:
- - Set yield-based nutrient targets,
- - Subtract existing soil nutrient levels from desired outcomes,
- - Instantly calculate the necessary product rates to achieve those goals.
Nutrient Blender is especially vital for agronomists still relying on conventional spreadsheet methods for nutrient planning, offering a user-friendly alternative that increases speed, reduces errors, and simplifies the process.
Both tools present a unified goal—to enhance the efficiency of agricultural planning by converting data into actionable nutrient strategies with minimal manual effort. Munson remarked, “While Advanced Prescriptions and Nutrient Blender have different functionalities, their ultimate purpose aligns: to help agronomists swiftly turn data insights into effective nutrient strategies.”
Pricing and Availability
As of now, both tools are available for subscription. The Advanced Prescriptions service is priced at $2,500 per year or $1,000 for existing Prescription users as an upgrade. The Nutrient Blender is included within the Planning module for $500 annually. These investment options provide agronomists with the tools they need to not only meet but exceed contemporary agricultural challenges, thereby driving productivity and enhancing crop yields.
