GROWMARK, Inc., Bloomington, Illinois, has unveiled an artificial intelligence agent inside its myFS Agronomy app for the 2026 crop season. The first-of-its-kind innovation combines real-time data analysis with decades of boots-on-the-ground expertise from its crop specialists.
The AI agent delivers faster, more precise agronomic insights, enabling GROWMARK’s FS members and their crop specialists to provide more customized recommendations that help farmers optimize decision-making and support farm profitability.
Built on agronomic data
Developed through a collaboration between GROWMARK and Intelinair, the agent brings together the FS System’s agronomic expertise with Intelinair’s artificial intelligence and data analytics capabilities. The tool is built on information already available in the myFS Agronomy platform—including crop plans, soil data, field boundaries, product applications, imagery and historical outcomes. By bringing these datasets together, the agent can run analyses, uncover insights and deliver answers grounded in agronomic data—all tailored to the needs of crop specialists working with growers across the FS System.
“The new AI agent elevates the recommendations of our crop specialists by surfacing insights that simply weren’t possible when analysis relied on manual, time-intensive processes,” said Brendan Bachman, FS agronomy director. “This allows our teams to focus on decision points, not data association, helping growers make better-informed decisions for their farm operations. As we continue to innovate within the myFS Agronomy platform, the data-driven value we deliver to customers will only increase—supporting smarter management choices and stronger farm profitability.”
How FS crop specialists use AI for agronomic insights, field analysis and recommendations
Example use cases crop specialists can analyze with the AI agent:
- Hybrid performance: Determine which hybrids perform best in this county and help me understand how to place these hybrids next year and how they should be managed.
- In-season decisions: Improve in-season decisions by analyzing past performance alongside current crop and weather conditions.
- Breakeven and profitability analysis: Calculate breakeven yield by field or hybrid, factoring in land cost, machinery, seed, chemical and fertility inputs to identify areas for improvement.
“Artificial intelligence should make agronomy simpler and more actionable—not more complicated,” said Conner Schmidt, commercial leader of Intelinair. “Working together with GROWMARK, we’ve created a tool that helps crop specialists quickly access the knowledge and field insights they need to better support growers. When advisors can spend less time searching for information and more time working alongside farmers, everyone benefits.”
GROWMARK said it will continue to develop its digital agronomy tools through artificial intelligence enhancements to the myFS Agronomy app, aimed at helping FS crop specialists and agronomists make data-focused recommendations that support on-farm decision-making and profitability.
