Product roadmap
BAU Farm Intelligence is built in three phases. Each one earns the next: the tools you use every day create the field history, and the field history becomes an operating record the rest of agriculture will actually accept.
Phase 1 · Available today
Everything a grower needs to plan a season, work it, and keep records that hold up — built around your experience, not around a screen.
Rotation rules, avoid-pairs, and a season plan per field.
USDA zone-aware planting windows and harvest targets.
Soil-test interpretation
Upload lab results; P/K categories and N credits are read for you.
Fertilizer recommendations
Nutrient plan adjusted by soil test, crop, and acreage.
ET₀, rainfall deficit, and drought pressure by field.
Forecast-driven risk windows for the crops in your ground.
Seven-day forecast with frost, heat, and heavy-rain alerts.
Farm records
Chemical and fertilizer application logs, receipts, task history.
Recommendations
Season-aware prompts drawn from your own records — advisory, never automatic.
Phase 2 · Builds through your first seasons
Once a field has history, the unit of analysis shifts from the farm to the field. You stop guessing which ground pays and start knowing.
Historical crop rotations
Every crop that has been on that ground, season by season.
Input history
What went on, at what rate, at what cost, and when.
Yield history
Harvest recorded against the planting that produced it.
Soil-health trends
pH, organic matter, P, K, and CEC tracked across test dates.
Weather exposure
Heat, frost, and rainfall events tied to each field's season.
Tillage, cover crop, and conservation practices per field.
Margin per acre by field, ranked and compared to your region.
Phase 3 · After several seasons of data
With multiple seasons on record, BAU produces a digital operating history for the farm — the document a lender, insurer, or buyer has never been able to get from a specialty-crop operation.
Three-year production history
Verified acreage and output by crop.
Crop rotation history
Rotation discipline, documented rather than asserted.
Soil-health changes
Direction of travel on organic matter and fertility.
Yields
Per-acre yield trend by crop and field.
Irrigation practices
Water applied against seasonal deficit.
Input utilization
Input spend per acre and per unit of output.
Weather events
Documented loss events for insurance and disaster programs.
Management practices
Conservation and stewardship practices in place.
Projected production
Forward volume estimate from rotation plan and history.
Farm revenue history
Revenue by crop and channel, tied to contracts and receipts.
The end product of Phase 3 is a single document: a verified, multi-season operating history of the farm. Production, rotation, soil health, yields, irrigation, inputs, weather events, practices, projected production, and revenue — in one packet a lender, crop insurer, grant reviewer, or wholesale buyer can read in ten minutes.
That is the shift from a farm assistant to decision infrastructure. Specialty-crop growers are underwritten badly today because nobody can see their record. This makes the record visible — and it belongs to the farmer, not to us.
