AgSquared Application Recently Re-launched

AgSquared is an online record-keeping platform that is designed for small-scale mixed vegetable growers.   It started on a simple premise: that better plans, streamlined management, and more complete records can help make farms more productive, more profitable and more sustainable.

Two college students through their travels and many conversations with farmers, began to zero in on a missing link in the sustainability equation – easy-to-use tools for successful farm planning, management and record keeping. Seeing so many farmers who, amidst the controlled chaos of a farming season, remain deeply committed to improving their practices, and yet still struggle to learn from their successes and failures, inspired them to tackle this problem.

Before programming even one line of code, they spent countless hours poring over farm notebooks, spreadsheets, and books about farm planning and management techniques, to figure out what farmers need, what works, and how to make software that farmers would actually use. They realized that the internet presented a huge opportunity for offering cutting-edge farming tools at a cost so low that anyone, no matter how small their operation, could afford it. In 2009, they founded AgSquared to create what they hope will be the perfect farm planning, management and record keeping software.
