GROWMARK, Inc., located in Bloomington, Illinois, has introduced an innovative artificial intelligence agent within its myFS Agronomy app, gearing up for the 2026 crop season. This groundbreaking solution marries real-time data analysis with extensive field experience from its dedicated crop specialists.
The AI agent enhances the speed and accuracy of agronomic insights, empowering GROWMARK’s FS members and their crop specialists to offer tailored recommendations that assist farmers in maximizing decision-making and fostering farm profitability.
Grounded in Agronomic Data
Created in partnership with Intelinair, the AI agent integrates the FS System’s agronomic knowledge with Intelinair’s capabilities in artificial intelligence and data analytics. This tool leverages existing information from the myFS Agronomy platform—including crop plans, soil data, field boundaries, product applications, imagery, and historical outcomes. By synthesizing these datasets, the agent is equipped to perform analyses, reveal insights, and provide data-driven answers specifically tailored to meet the needs of crop specialists collaborating with growers across the FS System.
According to Brendan Bachman, FS agronomy director, “The new AI agent elevates our crop specialists’ recommendations by surfacing insights that were previously unattainable through labor-intensive analysis. This shift enables our teams to concentrate on critical decision points rather than mere data compilation, allowing growers to make more informed choices for their operations. With ongoing innovations in the myFS Agronomy platform, we will continue to enhance the data-driven value we deliver to our customers, promoting smarter management decisions and increased farm profitability.”
Utilizing AI for Enhanced Agronomic Insights, Field Analysis, and Recommendations
Here are some examples of how crop specialists can leverage the AI agent:
- Hybrid performance: Identify which hybrids perform optimally in the county and strategize their placement and management for the following year.
- In-season decisions: Refine decision-making during the growing season by correlating past performance with current crop and weather conditions.
- Breakeven and profitability analysis: Determine breakeven yield per field or hybrid, taking into account land costs, machinery, seed, chemicals, and fertility inputs to pinpoint improvement areas.
Conner Schmidt, commercial leader of Intelinair, emphasized, “Artificial intelligence should simplify agronomy and make it more actionable, rather than complicating it. Collaborating with GROWMARK, we’ve developed a tool that equips crop specialists with quick access to vital field insights, enabling better support for growers. When advisors spend less time searching for information and more time engaging with farmers, it benefits everyone involved.”
GROWMARK is committed to further advancing its digital agronomy tools through the continuous enhancement of the myFS Agronomy app with artificial intelligence, aiming to assist FS crop specialists and agronomists in making data-informed recommendations that bolster on-farm decision-making and profitability.
