Helping farmers grow the best possible future.
Our mission is to help farmers reclaim the value they lose when imperfect information causes waste. Billions of dollars in fertilizer that never feeds a crop. Missing nutrients that limit yields. Unneeded nutrients that leach into waterways.
That's not just waste. It's a missed opportunity. And the heart of that opportunity is capturing precise, real-time, and actionable data about plant-available soil nutrients so you can immediately start precise fertilizer application.
This is technology that was developed by NASA for Mars that's now improving life on earth.
Our founders.
TerraBlaster is not a new software team learning agriculture. We are engineers, scientists, agronomists, and business people who have spent decades inside this industry and shipped technology that changed how row-crop farming works. Our team helped bring GPS autosteering, Precision Agriculture, See & Spray, autonomous tractors as well as NASA LIBS systems from prototype to the equipment lines they run on today, and has spent decades on the retail side, sitting across the table from growers helping them make better decisions.
