For vendors & operators · founding cohort

Farmers are already looking for what you sell.

The hard part isn’t supply. It’s finding the farmer who wants your 98-day organic hybrid, in your region, this season. FarmDeck will post real RFPs from verified farmers and let you respond in one click — no catalog PDFs, no trade-show booths, no cold calls. Conventional and organic both; organic gets surfaced first because almost no one else builds for it.

Why this is hard to copy

Lead gen is thin. Regional context is the moat.

FarmDeck connects what a farmer needs, what has performed nearby, who can actually serve the state, and what transactions close. That context is what generic marketplaces and static catalogs miss.

Regional demandPilot waitlist

Farmers enter state, farm type, acreage range, requested inputs, and urgency, turning interest into a state-by-state demand ledger.

Trial graph1,746

Public performance data from 7 land-grant sources, normalized so vendor listings can be compared by local evidence.

Founding scarcity50

Founding slots left. Early vendors get permanent identity in the marketplace plus weighted regional search at launch.

Behavioral memoryRFP to sale

The platform learns from actual buying paths, not just clicks or impression inventory.

The vendor problem

Good products still lose to whoever’s on the front page.

01 · Acquisition

You’re paying $420 to acquire a $600 customer.

Search, print, trade shows, co-op ads. Seed companies — especially organic-first ones — spend 30–40% of revenue on customer acquisition and still only reach the farmers who already know to look for you.

We ran a full-page in Acres USA for six months. Got eleven calls.— Regional seed distributor, Iowa
02 · Blind stocking
???

You stock in September for demand that shows up in April.

You lock in seed varieties 7 months before farmers place orders, guessing on volume from last year’s book. The wrong guess is written off as shrink.

We over-bought on a 102-day hybrid. 400 units went to chicken feed.— Independent seed dealer, central IL
03 · Margins
PDF

Catalog PDFs don’t close deals anymore.

Your 60-variety catalog is a document. Farmers want a filter — state, maturity, organic, price. Without it, you’re competing on whoever answered the phone first.

The big guys have reps. We have a catalog and a 1-800 number.— Small-grain supplier, Wisconsin

What the first 50 get.

01 · Economics

One fee. 5% on completed sales.

Not “$149/mo plus a transaction fee plus $4.50 per RFP.” Just 5% of what closes, when it closes. No listing fee, no subscription, no ad placements, no charge for responding to RFPs. If a farmer doesn’t buy, nobody pays anything — including us.
