Access Field-by-Field or Zone-by-Zone Growing Conditions.
So easy to use! EarthScout can be set up almost anywhere in 5 minutes or less, and configured to any crop or growing environment to give you the data you need, when you need it. With EarthScout, you can even set alerts on your phone – reducing risk and supporting important decisions like:
Cloning
Irrigation
Nutrition
Spraying
Planting
Pruning
Custom configure sensors by crops, soils, and conditions.
EarthScout was designed by growers to be easily adaptable for different crops, soils, and growing conditions. With up to five different sensor ports for above and below ground measurements, EarthScout lets you easily mix, match and add sensors as needed.
How It Works
EarthScout was born in grower roundtables as a practical and flexible solution to serve their needs today, while always evolving to better serve their needs in the future. The easy-to-install field sensors capture multiple data points – in the soil and within the local growing environment – giving you up-to-the minute field information between zones. Data is wirelessly communicated back to your smartphone through an intuitive interface.
Case Study
Dan owns an apple orchard in Southern Minnesota where he is growing twenty different varieties of apples on 24 acres. His 12,000 trees include well-known varieties like Honeycrisp and McIntosh, plus other varieties suited for northern climates like Pazzaz, Riverbelt, Cortland and Zestar.
“When I heard I could calculate Growing Degree Days in my own orchard’s micro-climate, I knew it could help me better predict emerging disease and pest threats, and that’s really exciting,” said Dan.

Testimonial
“Now that we can add EC, O2 and solar sensors, we’ll be able to track whole new fields of data. And the more information I can gather, the better.”
