GROWMARK launches AI agronomy agent in myFS Agronomy platform

A first-of-its-kind AI agent combines agronomic data and analytics to help FS crop specialists deliver faster, more precise recommendations for growers

Key Takeaways

  • AI-powered agronomic decision support – FS crop specialists can leverage the AI agent’s data analysis capabilities to guide farmer customers on hybrid placement, fungicide and nitrogen decisions, and other crop management practices.
  • Connected crop specialists – The AI agent combines GROWMARK’s agronomy data with Intelinair’s analytics to provide insights based on field plans, soils, imagery, product applications, and historical performance.
  • Increased time with growers – By giving unprecedented access to data and analysis capabilities, FS crop specialists can reduce time searching and focus more on helping farmer customers make timely, confident decisions throughout the growing season.

Bloomington, Ill. (April 14 , 2026) – GROWMARK, Inc. has unveiled a new artificial intelligence (AI) agent inside its myFS Agronomy app for the 2026 crop season. This first-of-its-kind innovation combines real‑time data analysis with decades of boots-on-the-ground expertise from its crop specialists. The new AI agent delivers faster, more precise agronomic insights, enabling GROWMARK’s FS members and their crop specialists to provide stronger, highly customized recommendations that help farmers optimize their decision-making processes and ultimately 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 that are 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 the crop specialist 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 will continue to position itself to lead in the digital agronomy space through continued artificial intelligence enhancements to its myFS Agronomy app, empowering its FS crop specialists and agronomists to make smart, secure, and data-focused recommendations that support decision-making on the farm and ultimately improve the farm profitability of the farmers it serves.

Yield Forecast

Understand where your corn yield is based on the current state of the crop. As the season unfolds, see how it is having an impact on your final yield.

Yield Loss

Powered by years of Nitrogen research at the University of Missouri, our corn Yield Loss analytic, powered by NVision Ag, gives insight into potential yield loss due to Nitrogen deficiency. Optional analytic for nitrogen management.

Variable Dry Down

variable dry down

Understand which fields and which areas of the field are drying down to help plan your harvest logistics.

Underperforming Area

low crop health

Not all areas of your fields perform the same and low NDVI doesn’t necessarily mean there is anything you can do to fix it this year. Underperforming Area alerts you to the fields and areas of the fields that are performing below their historical potential. This will allow you to quickly find those fields and areas and make adjustments to get them back on target and protect yield.

Nutrient Deficiency

nutrient deficiency

As the crop grows, it can tell us more of what is wrong with it. This analytic finds the fields and areas of the fields where there is a nutrient deficiency so that issues can be addressed before grain fill.

Disease Stress

disease risk

In conjunction with the Thermal Stress, Disease Stress alert takes into account weather information to more precisely indicate the type of stress impacting the crop.

Thermal Stress

thermal risk

Using our thermal imagery, AGMRI can detect elevated heat patterns of the crop that indicate crop stress.

Crop Health

Crop Health

Get a complete view of your farms and fields and identify where yield potential is ranked highest to the lowest.

Weed Map & Weed Escape

weed escape

Know what fields and areas of the fields have weeds. With machine integration or based on planting date, be alerted to what fields have weeds that may be impacting yield.

Historical Field Performance

AGMRI creates 5 performance zones in each field based on the historical average of those zones. This data is used to compare the current season to help understand where you are underperforming from the zone potential.

Low Emergence

low emergence

Notification of what fields and areas of the field have poor emergence.

Stand Assessment

strand assessment

AGMRI detects the established rows and uses computer vision and machine learning to determine the best segment of row and compares the rest of the field to that segment to give you a relative map. If machine data is integrated, a stand population map is returned.
