What Decisive Farming does

Decisive Farming Corp. is a Canadian agriculture-technology company headquartered in Irricana, Alberta, that was acquired by TELUS in 2019 and now operates as Decisive Farming by TELUS Agriculture. The company delivers a unified farm-management platform organized around four 'health' pillars: Soil Health (anchored by the Optimize RX variable-rate fertilizer and seeding service supported by Soil Sampling), Operational Health (Farm Fuel Management, Farm Bin Management, TELUS Weather Stations, TELUS Farm Inventory Management, and TELUS Health), Farm Health (the Farm At Hand cloud and mobile SaaS application for field and activity tracking), and Financial Health (the Know-Risk crop marketing advisory delivered in partnership with StoneX/INTL FCStone, plus the GrainFox grain marketing platform). Its core technology stack is a cloud-based SaaS platform hosted via third-party cloud providers, complemented by IoT-connected devices and a proprietary variable-rate agronomy engine that produces zone-based prescriptions (typically 5-7 zones per field) from soil test data.

The company monetizes through a mix of recurring SaaS subscriptions (Farm At Hand, billed on 12-month auto-renewing terms), acres-based usage fees for Optimize RX and soil sampling services, hardware and data services for IoT devices (fuel, bin, weather, inventory), professional services on a time-and-materials basis, and rights to commercialize anonymized and aggregated customer data. Go-to-market combines direct field and inside sales (Sales and CSR teams), self-serve digital channels (website, iOS/Android apps, login hub), and an authorized Dealer/Reseller/Service Provider channel formalized in the Master Services Agreement. The named customer base consists of individual commercial growers across Canada, the United States, and Australia (e.g., V33 Farms, Calvin Wood, Rousseau Creek Farms, Rose Valley Colony), all SMB operators, with TELUS serving as the US contracting entity via TELUS Communications (U.S.) Inc.

Core offering

Decisive Farming provides a cloud-based farm management SaaS (Farm At Hand / Croptivity) combined with precision agronomy services, including variable rate technology (Optimize RX), soil sampling, and crop marketing tools (Know-Risk, GrainFox), augmented by connected IoT hardware for fuel, bin, weather, and inventory management. Offerings are packaged for growers and farm operators to plan, execute, and record field operations in a single workflow.

Product overview

Decisive Farming by TELUS Agriculture is a unified, modular farm management platform organized around four 'health' pillars - Soil Health, Operational Health, Farm Health, and Financial Health - that together deliver the company's tagline 'All of your farm. All in one place.' The Soil Health pillar is anchored by Optimize RX (variable-rate fertilizer and seeding technology, including the whole-farm Optimize RX-F SKU) supported by Soil Sampling and TELUS agronomists. The Operational Health pillar layers Farm Fuel Management, Farm Bin Management, TELUS Weather Stations (IoT-connected weather stations), and TELUS Farm Inventory Management, plus TELUS Health offerings. The Farm Health pillar centers on the Farm At Hand (formerly Croptivity) cloud farm-management application, which is the single sign-on hub for tracking fields, activities, inventory, and connected devices. The Financial Health pillar combines the Know-Risk crop marketing advisory (powered by partner StoneX/INTL FCStone) with the GrainFox grain marketing platform. The My Farm Manager trademark rounds out the portfolio. Data and services flow through the Decisive Farming login hub, which federates access to Farm At Hand, TELUS Weather Stations, GrainFox, and TELUS Farm Inventory Management as integrated sister applications.
