Know the rain before it knows your field.
Farm Better turns satellite data, cheap field sensors and your own records into plain answers: when it will rain, when to harvest, when to irrigate, and when pests are coming.

What you get
Six decisions, made with evidence instead of guesswork.
Rain prediction
72-hour plot-level rainfall onset, intensity and spray windows, fused from satellite data and on-farm sensors.
Harvest timing
Grain moisture estimated from a phone photo of your canopy, turned into a day-by-day harvest window.
Irrigation planning
Soil moisture at three depths with a schedule that respects your weekly water budget.
Pest & disease alerts
Outbreak pressure forecast weeks ahead from regional sightings and degree-day models.
Soil & nutrition
Fertiliser split recommendations tied to your variety, planting date and past season records.
Yield forecasting
Season-ahead yield estimates that tighten as the crop develops, for planning sales and storage.
How it works
Three steps, one season.
- 01
Map your plot
Draw your field boundary or drop a pin. We pull the satellite history for it.
- 02
Add what you know
Planting date, variety, soil type, last season's yield. Five minutes.
- 03
Get daily calls
Rain, spray, irrigate, scout, harvest — each with a confidence level, by SMS or app.
Research
AI in agriculture, tested in fields.
Weather Intelligence
Hyper-local Rainfall Forecasting for Smallholder Plots Using Ensemble Machine Learning
We evaluate an ensemble of gradient-boosted trees and a lightweight temporal transformer trained on satellite reanalysis, ground station data and low-cost farm sensors to forecast rainfall at 1 km resolution across 480 smallholder plots.

Pest & Disease
Early Warning of Fall Armyworm Outbreaks Through Crowd-Sourced Reports and Climate Signals
Combining farmer-submitted pest sightings with degree-day accumulation models, we forecast fall armyworm pressure two to three weeks ahead of visible infestation.
