Advanced Agrilytics is months away from releasing an AI tool to help growers make faster and more informed agronomic decisions, such as when and how to apply nitrogen.
“It’s a very active interface that’s focused on your farm. It’s not based on the farmer next door,” says Kenny Avery, CEO of Advanced Agrilytics. “It’s based on your data and our knowledge applied to your farm.”
In September 2026, the TerraSIGNAL software will be available to provide automated recommendations for corn, soybeans and wheat, with plans to add cotton and canola down the road.
15 Years of Agronomic Research Feeds Automated Recommendations
TerraSIGNAL is backed by Advanced Agrilytics’ 15 years of field-level agronomic research and operational data and 20 U.S. patents. The software is able to use local field conditions to feed recommendations.
“We actually have data points down to the sub-acre level, [and it includes] outputs, inputs and the performance on that farm,” Avery explains. “We’re able to use that [information] to help tailor our prescriptions.”
Empowering People, Not Replacing Them
The software is not meant to replace anyone, Avery explains. Instead, TerraSIGNAL is designed to extend access to agronomic expertise, while not replacing trusted relationships.
“We are not replacing people with AI,” he adds. “We are building technology that helps growers and agronomy teams access Advanced Agrilytics’ expertise continuously and at greater scale than traditional agronomy workflows alone can support.”
According to the company, the software’s value is not that it uses AI, but that it is built on 15 years of data, agronomic methodology and field-level intelligence. The integrity of the recommendation comes from the Agrilytics IQ methodology. Meanwhile, AI helps scale access to expertise.
“This tool is really pulling together our collective knowledge of agronomy and the power of AI to provide insights that we weren’t even able to do 12 months ago,” says Avery.
Reducing On-Farm Variability by 28%
Over a 10-year study period, Advanced Agrilytics documented the following results in fields managed by their program:
- An average corn yield increase of 20 bu. per acre.
- An average soybean yield increase of 9 bu. per acre.
- A 28% reduction in the variability of on-farm performance, helping producers achieve more consistent results season over season.
- A 15%+ improvement in nitrogen use efficiency scores, delivering economic and environmental benefits by ensuring inputs are applied where and when they are needed most.
This same program is being used by TerraSIGNAL to help farmers make crucial decisions.
