Location: Cherokee County, Iowa
Farm Size: 500 acres (70% corn, 30% soybeans)
Challenge: The Smith family farm was experiencing inconsistent crop yields across their fields and facing rising irrigation costs due to increasingly variable weather patterns. They were also looking to improve their sustainability practices.
In spring 2024, Smith Family Farms deployed TerrainTel's Professional platform, including:
28% increase in corn yield across problem areas that had historically underperformed
15% overall improvement in yield consistency across all acreage
32% reduction in water usage through precision irrigation recommendations
18% reduction in fertilizer application through targeted nutrition management
$46,000 annual savings in operational costs
ROI of 317% in the first year of implementation
"The TerrainTel system has completely changed how we approach farming. The soil monitoring alone has given us insights we never had before. We can now see exactly what's happening in different parts of our fields and make decisions based on real data rather than guesswork. The ROI has been incredible — we're saving money while producing more and being more sustainable."— John Smith, Owner
Location: Sonoma County, California
Farm Size: 120 acres of premium wine grapes
Challenge: This family-owned vineyard was battling persistent pest issues and inconsistent grape quality across their property. Despite significant investments in traditional pest management, they continued to experience crop losses and struggled with irrigation inefficiencies in California's drought conditions.
Valley Vista Vineyards implemented TerrainTel's specialized viticulture solution in late 2024, including:
65% reduction in pest-related crop damage
42% reduction in pesticide applications through precise targeting
18% increase in overall grape quality scores
More consistent ripening across all vineyard blocks
$98,000 reduction in annual crop losses
41% ROI in the first year of implementation
"The early pest detection capabilities alone have paid for the entire system. Before TerrainTel, we would only discover problems once damage was visible, which was often too late. Now we can address issues before they become serious problems. The improvement in our wine quality has been noted by our distributors, and we've been able to increase our bottle prices as a result."— Elena Rodriguez, Owner and Winemaker
Location: Addison County, Vermont
Farm Size: 75 acres of certified organic mixed vegetables
Challenge: This diversified organic farm was struggling with complex crop rotation planning, inconsistent soil health across their fields, and early disease detection across multiple crop types. Their certification requirements also demanded detailed documentation of all farm practices.
Greenfield Organics deployed TerrainTel's specialized organic farming solution in early 2024, including:
22% overall yield increase across all crop types
35% reduction in crop losses due to disease
85% accuracy in disease prediction modeling
68% reduction in approved organic treatment applications
4.5x improvement in planning efficiency
76% reduction in certification documentation time
"As a diversified organic farm, we face unique challenges managing dozens of different crops, each with their own requirements. TerrainTel has transformed our operation by providing insights specific to each crop and field. The planning tools save us countless hours, and the documentation features have made our organic certification process so much easier. I especially appreciate the soil health insights that help us maintain and improve our most valuable asset."— Maria Thompson, Farm Manager
