Five tools. One well of public data.

The United States government publishes an enormous amount of agricultural data. Almost none of it is usable by anyone who is not already an expert. These tools take one dataset each and make it answer a question you would actually ask.

Free, no accounts, no advice. Every tool cites its sources and publishes its dataset.

The tools

  • Seasonality atlas

    /season

    What's in season, where, this week. Compiled from fifty state extension programs that have never published it as structured data.

    Planned

  • Phenology playground

    /degrees

    Growing degree days for any point in the country, and what they predict about a crop's stage.

    Planned

  • Soil explorer

    /ground

    Drop a pin and read your soil in plain language, with the raw SSURGO record shown beside every translation.
