nltPAGAF
Precision agriculture for every farmer — powered by free government data.
Turn public imagery, soils, and weather into field-level decisions: how much nitrogen, how much seed, when to plant, when to spray. Draw a field, and nltPAGAF does the rest — in your browser.
Decisions you get
- In-Season Nitrogen Management
- Variable-Rate Seeding Prescriptions
- Planting-Date Decision Support
- Wheat Fungicide Timing
Why growers use nltPAGAF
Right rate, right place
Apply nitrogen and seed where each part of the field actually needs it — not a flat rate across the whole field.
Data-driven timing
Plant and spray on the dates the data supports, using soil, weather, and growing-degree-day models.
No proprietary lock-in
Built on free, public government data so precision agriculture is not gated behind expensive private datasets.
Works in your browser
100% web-based and API-first — nothing to install, and every capability is available through documented APIs.
From a field to a prescription in three steps
No data-science team required. nltPAGAF does the heavy lifting on public data behind the scenes.
Draw your field
Outline a field on the map — or bring your existing boundaries. No setup, no software to install.
We combine the data
nltPAGAF pulls public imagery (NAIP), the USDA Cropland Data Layer, SSURGO soils, and NOAA/NRCS weather for your field automatically.
Get your prescription
Receive a field-level recommendation — nitrogen rate, seeding rate, planting window, or fungicide timing — ready to act on or export.
What you can do today
In-Season Nitrogen Management
Field-level, in-season nitrogen recommendations that combine imagery, soils, and weather into a variable-rate prescription — apply only what each zone needs.
Variable-Rate Seeding Prescriptions
Seeding-rate prescriptions by management zone, matching seed populations to each field’s productivity potential.
Planting-Date Decision Support
Data-driven planting-window guidance using soil, weather, and growing-degree-day models to time planting for each field.
Wheat Fungicide Timing
Fungicide decision support for wheat, weighing disease pressure and crop growth stage to guide spray timing.
Built on open government data
Precision that isn’t locked behind proprietary data
nltPAGAF is built on the public data investments American taxpayers already fund — USDA NAIP imagery, the Cropland Data Layer, SSURGO soils, and NOAA/NRCS weather — engineered with the security hardening, control mapping, and continuous monitoring our federal program work runs on. That means precision agriculture you can trust, trace, and afford.
Who it’s for
Farmers
Make confident input decisions field by field, without a data-science team.
Agronomists & advisors
Scale recommendations across every client field from one browser-based workspace.
Co-ops & ag retailers
Offer precision prescriptions as a service to your growers.
Agencies & researchers
Conservation planning and program support built on the same open federal data you already trust.
Federally proven origins
nltPAGAF grew out of work with USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Farm Service Agency (FAS), and was developed as a participant in The Opportunity Project (TOP) civic-technology sprint — public-interest agriculture data, built in the open.
Questions, answered
Can I try it before committing?
Yes — request a guided demo and we’ll walk your own fields through a live prescription so you can see the output on your ground, not a sample farm.
Where does the data come from?
Authoritative public sources — USDA NAIP imagery, the Cropland Data Layer, SSURGO soils, and NOAA/NRCS weather. Every recommendation is traceable to its source.
Do I need to install anything?
No. nltPAGAF is 100% browser-based, and every capability is also available through documented APIs if you want to integrate it into your own tools.
Which crops and decisions are supported?
Today: in-season nitrogen, variable-rate seeding, planting-date decisions, and wheat fungicide timing — with more decision tools on the roadmap.
