TOTAL ACRE Partners with Crop Diagnostix to Revolutionize Agronomic Decision-Making
TOTAL ACRE, a leader in record-setting yields and agronomic innovation, has announced a strategic partnership with Crop Diagnostix, an AgTech company specializing in RNA gene expression and AI-driven plant stress prediction. This collaboration aims to equip farmers with real-time, predictive agronomic insights, allowing for smarter, proactive decision-making to maximize yield potential and return on investment (ROI).
“This partnership reinforces that TOTAL ACRE is truly committed to being the industry leader in predictive, data-driven agronomics,” said Rebecca Helget, VP of Agronomy for Crop Diagnostix. “David Hula has already grown 623-bushel corn—TOTAL ACRE is helping the world reimagine production possibilities.”
Advancing from Reactive to Predictive Agronomy
Traditional agronomic management has focused on reacting to plant health issues once they become visible. TOTAL ACRE and Crop Diagnostix are shifting this paradigm by integrating RNA sequencing technology to detect stress before symptoms appear, ensuring early intervention and optimized decision-making.
How Crop Diagnostix’s RNA Technology Enhances Agronomic Insights
- Detects plant stress at the molecular level, identifying issues before they impact yield.
- Validates product performance, helping farmers refine their nutrient, fungicide, and input applications with precision.
- Improves input efficiency, ensuring resources are used only where and when they are needed.
“The days of reactive agronomy and treating symptoms are numbered,” said CR Scebold, Head of Business Development at TOTAL ACRE. “Our growers are excited about the power of predictive, proactive crop management.”
Exclusive Access for TOTAL ACRE Members
As part of this collaboration, TOTAL ACRE growers will be among the first to access cutting-edge predictive analytics and agronomic software tools.
- 2025: TOTAL ACRE members receive early access to advanced RNA-based plant health insights and predictive models.
- 2026: Actionable insights become fully integrated, enabling growers to optimize inputs, enhance efficiency, and increase profitability.
“TOTAL ACRE growers are not just adopting innovation—they are actively shaping the future of agriculture,” said Brandon Chi, CEO of Crop Diagnostix. “These forward-thinking farmers will contribute real-world data that enhances predictive models and drives industry-wide transformation.”
Seamless Integration with YMS Software
TOTAL ACRE will integrate Crop Diagnostix’s predictive analytics into its Yield Management System (YMS) software, ensuring that members can make:
- Real-time agronomic decisions based on molecular-level plant health data.
- Highly precise adjustments to inputs, maximizing efficiency while reducing costs.
- Smarter crop management strategies that drive higher yields and sustainable profitability.
“Partnering with Crop Diagnostix allows us to bring a new level of predictive intelligence to our YMS software,” said Randy Siever, COO of TOTAL ACRE. “Our members will have the smartest tools available to optimize every acre with confidence.”
Setting a New Standard for Precision Farming
By combining Crop Diagnostix’s RNA-based insights with the company’s industry-leading agronomic strategies, this partnership is setting a new benchmark for predictive farming.
“We’re excited to bring our RNA-based insights to a network of forward-thinking industry leaders,” added Chi. “Together, we’re creating a new standard for predictive agronomy and sustainable yield optimization.”
