Stacking farm data to find your best tile ROI

Episode 152 | 30 min
With Guests:
  • Carter Quam of Terrain, Sales and Support
  • Mike Tveten, Leadership Team of Terrain
  • Trey Allis, Application Engineer of Prinsco

When the developers of ag precision software TerrainIQ asked agronomists what farmers need to be successful, every one of them said the same thing: nothing works without water management. Yet water analysis is the one piece most farm data tools leave out. Carter Quam and Mike Tveten join host Trey Allis to share what their company, Terrain, has learned since those early days and why the current version of their software compiles land, water, tile, and yield data all in one place.

Carter and Mike explain how the TerrainIQ platform uses public data to help farmers and landowners understand field performance, identify areas that can be improved, and make smart investment decisions. They dive into the ROI of tiling and talk about why the best return usually comes from productive ground that stays wet. They also offer advice on spotting undersized mains and failing tile, digitizing hand-drawn tile maps, sharing data with your tile contractor or agronomist, and how their tool takes the guesswork out of agriculture water management.
