Grounded Ag Tools Inc. Introduces Crop Scouting App Built for Field Conditions
Grounded Ag Tools Inc., a Lethbridge-based AgTech company, has announced the official launch of its new crop scouting app, developed to support consulting teams working with Canadian farmers.
Designed by agronomists, the app focuses on enabling faster and more reliable in-field decisions. The platform prioritizes speed, accuracy, offline functionality, and streamlined professional reporting. According to the company, the tool was created to help farmers and their advisors identify crop issues earlier and reduce uncertainty in management decisions.
The app was developed following consultation with farm consultants who identified challenges with existing digital tools, including complex interfaces, inconsistent offline performance, and reporting systems that lacked clarity.
Independent Platform Aimed at Reducing Product Bias
Grounded Ag Tools Inc. states that, unlike many digital agriculture platforms affiliated with major product manufacturers, its app operates independently. The company notes that this structure allows users to maintain control over their data and avoid ecosystem lock-in.
Laine Geremia, co-founder of the Grounded Ag app, said, “Crop scouting is one of the most important risk management activities on the farm. When agronomists and other consultants can diagnose problems quickly and offer visual communication with clear rationale, farmers can act sooner, making valuable decisions that improve bottom lines within their operations.”
He added that improved decision-making can help protect yields, reduce unnecessary product use, and support long-term sustainability in Canada’s agricultural sector.
Grounded Ag Tools Inc. Offers Early Access Ahead of 2026 Season
The company has timed the launch for late winter, allowing farmers and consulting teams to test the platform in advance of the 2026 growing season.
Grounded Ag Tools Inc. is offering a two-week free trial that enables users to scout fields and generate reports without cost or credit card requirements. The first 100 trial participants will receive a complimentary 15-minute onboarding session.
Geremia also indicated that white labeling opportunities and special partnerships are under consideration.
While the company delivers its product as Software as a Service (SaaS), it states that it takes a direct engagement approach, working closely with producers and agronomists to develop features aligned with regional weed and disease pressures and practical field workflows across Canada.
