Croptimistic Partnership Enhances AgExpert Sustainability Tools
Croptimistic Technology Inc. has joined Farm Credit Canada’s Sustainability Incentive Program through the integration of SWAT MAPS into FCC’s AgExpert platform. The collaboration provides farmers with a streamlined way to manage sustainability-focused practices by connecting detailed soil, water, and topography data directly to AgExpert Field Premium accounts.
Through the new sync capability, users can import field boundaries, acreage, and agronomic activities such as fertilizer applications from SWAT MAPS into AgExpert. This reduces manual entry and ensures consistency across platforms, supporting more accurate and efficient farm management workflows.
Bonnie Dobchuk, Sustainability Director at Croptimistic, said the partnership aligns with the company’s long-term strategy. “FCC’s ongoing commitments to promoting sustainable agriculture align extremely well with Croptimistic's sustainability strategy. We are both aligned in wanting to see farmers rewarded for excellent nutrient management practices.”
Supporting Nutrient Management and the FCC 4R Incentive
The integration also strengthens the ability of farmers to participate in FCC’s 4R Incentive program, which rewards the adoption of nutrient management practices that reduce environmental impacts—including greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient loss.
Colin Brisebois, Vice-President of Product and Market Strategies at FCC, noted the importance of this collaboration. “By partnering with SWAT MAPS and integrating with AgExpert, we’re making it easier to recognize producers for their adoption of practices that benefit their land, business, and the environment.”
Cory Willness, CEO of Croptimistic, highlighted the practical value for producers: “Working with FCC to integrate SWAT MAPS with AgExpert gives farmers a powerful way to bring their data together and make the most of their sustainable practices.”
Croptimistic's Improved Data Accuracy for Sustainable Decision-Making
With synchronized data and simplified workflows, farmers gain access to consolidated field information that supports better planning, improved record-keeping, and more informed agronomic decisions. The integration marks a meaningful step toward advancing digital sustainability tools across Canadian agriculture.
