Frequently Asked Questions

General

What does OptimalAg Solutions do, exactly?

We provide a system of tools and services, Yield Performance Programs, Yield Optimizer™, and Yield Labs™, that help ag retailers and manufacturers create complete crop input programs with a money-back guarantee. 

Who is this for?

Ag retailers, seed dealers, agronomists, and crop input manufacturers who want to differentiate their offering, increase grower adoption, and reduce hesitation at the point of sale.

How does OptimalAg help ag retailers and manufacturers sell more crop inputs?

When growers see a program backed by independent data and a money-back Yield Performance Guarantee, it builds trust, reduces hesitation, and encourages full-program adoption instead of à la carte buying.

Yield Performance Programs

What is a Yield Performance Guarantee?

If the recommended crop input program doesn't deliver the expected yield improvement, a direct cash payment makes up the difference. No credits, no gimmicks.

Can I include any seed or input product in the program?

Yes. You select the products and practices based on what you trust and want to promote, we back them with validation and a yield guarantee. 

How are results tracked?

Each program includes in-season performance monitoring using Yield Stations, designated acres where results can be measured and verified.

Yield Optimzer™ 

What makes the Yield Optimizer™ different from other seed tools?

The Yield Optimizer ranks seed yield performance using trial data and makes side-by-side comparisons under actual field conditions. It factors in geography, soil, maturity, and weather history for highly precise recommendations.

Can I use the Yield Optimizer with multiple brands?

Yes. You can compare preferred brands, varieties, and traits head-to-head to show growers how each one performs under local, real-world conditions. 

Can I use the Yield Optimizer to support my own internal trials?

Absolutely. The Yield Optimizer™ can integrate with or complement your existing field data to help drive consistency and credibility in seed recommendations. 

Yield Labs™ 

How is the trial data generated?

All of our trials are conducted independently in the field using side-by-side comparisons, multi-location testing, and are replicated and statistically validated. No sponsorships, no marketing bias.

What products are tested?

Yield Labs evaluates seed, fertility, biologicals, crop protection, and full crop input solutions across regions and conditions to generate actionable, unbiased data.

How is Yield Labs different from manufacturer-run trials?

Our Yield Labs™ data is independent, brand-neutral, and held to rigorous scientific standards. It's about trusted results, not product promotion.
