EarthOptics Expands Soil Intelligence with Total Farm Offering
EarthOptics has announced the launch of its new Total Farm program, a comprehensive subscription service designed for the 2025 crop season. This marks the first joint product launch following EarthOptics’ merger with Pattern Ag in 2023. The program aims to streamline decision-making for farmers by combining soil and crop data into a single, accessible platform.
The Total Farm subscription includes high-resolution soil fertility mapping, soil biological assessments through DNA analysis, and crop planning tools that integrate yield data and satellite imagery. According to the company, the platform is tailored to improve input efficiency and boost yield profitability.
Comprehensive Agronomic Recommendations in One Platform
Subscribers to Total Farm will receive variable-rate prescriptions for soil fertility and in-season crop protection, along with risk assessments based on soil biology. A key feature of the service is its compatibility with popular precision agriculture platforms including Climate FieldView, MyJohnDeere, CNH, and Raven.
“Total Farm makes the highest-resolution agronomic data accessible and actionable to farmers at the whole-farm level,” said Dr. Lars Dyrud, CEO of EarthOptics. “We integrate soil biology, soil fertility, and yield-based data into a single workflow that farmers and their trusted advisors can use to make informed decisions.”
Flat Rate Pricing and Full-Service Workflow
Total Farm is priced at $4 per acre and includes soil sampling, lab analysis, and results interpretation—all conducted under EarthOptics’ chain-of-custody protocols to ensure integrity and traceability. Data output is compatible with most standard file formats, including shapefiles, for seamless integration into precision machinery and farm software.
Once enrolled, farmers are supported throughout the season by a network of agronomists, seed dealers, and consultants who are part of EarthOptics’ extended service network.
EarthOptics and Pattern Ag Set Foundation for Future Products
According to Dyrud, the launch of Total Farm reflects the strategic intent behind the merger of EarthOptics and Pattern Ag: to create a platform that merges soil sensing technologies with biological data and predictive analytics.
“Our first collaboration is a platform that supports a new level of accurate agronomic decision-making while contributing to improved soil health and more targeted use of fertilizer and crop inputs,” Dyrud said. “Total Farm is the beginning of many great new product offerings on the horizon.”
With more than 4.6 million acres already measured, EarthOptics continues to expand its presence across North America by partnering with trusted ag professionals and service providers.
