Social proof + moat
The useful part is the graph underneath.
FarmDeck is not a prettier catalog. It is the demand map, public trial corpus, vendor supply graph, and completed-sale history getting joined together at county resolution.
Demand signalWaitlist open
Every signup captures state, farm type, urgency, and requested inputs so demand becomes structured before launch.
Research corpus1,746
Variety-trial rows normalized from land-grant sources across 7 universities and 7 states.
Supply sideFounding vendors
Vendors apply by states served, products offered, inventory depth, and onboarding intent instead of buying generic ad placement.
Compounding loopCounty-fit loop
Every search, RFP, bid, trial comparison, and closed order improves matching for the next season.

The gap we’re closing
Buying farm inputs still happens the way it did in the ’90s.
01 · Discovery
A day on the phone to buy seed.
Finding the right variety for your agroecology — conventional or organic — means calling distributors one by one. No side-by-side comparison, no price transparency, no trial data in one place. Organic is worse: almost no one builds good tools for it.
“I spent the whole of January on hold. And I still couldn’t tell you who had the best seed for my farm.”— Row-crop farmer · Grundy Co., IA
02 · Equipment
Rental is invisible, local, un-digitized.
Need a combine for three weeks? A planter for one? Rental is fragmented and word-of-mouth. There’s no platform that shows availability and pricing, or lets you put a request out for bid.
“Custom operators exist, but you only find them if you already know them.”— Cover-crop farmer · Green Co., WI
03 · Research
The best trial data is buried in PDFs.
Land-grant universities publish variety performance every fall — yield, maturity, lodging, disease. It never gets aggregated into a comparison you can filter by soil type, region, or management system.
“182 varieties tested, and the only output is a 46-page PDF with the margins cut off.”— 2024 ISU Corn Testing report

One bid, many vendors
4.6 avg. bids / RFP
Seed RFPs post on Tuesday; vendors respond within 72 hours. Farmers pick on price, region fit, and trial yield.
Built on public research
The trial data is already there. We made it searchable.
Every year, land-grant universities publish thousands of variety trial rows — yield, maturity, disease, standability — for corn, soy, small grains, cover crops. FarmDeck ingests all of it, normalizes it, and joins it to vendors and regions so you can compare on what matters for your farm — conventional or organic.
