Field-level intelligence

Ground truth for every field.

SAGE reads soil, water, plants and people together, so growers can plan with confidence and insurers can price each field on its own.

For growers and their agronomists

Your land is waiting to tell you more.

Field-level intelligence for the people working the ground: what varies across each field, when to act, and which practices pay, season to season.

County-level premiums treat very different land the same. SAGE changes the unit of analysis to the field, so you can price, build portfolios and allocate capital against ground truth.

SAGE is not an insurer. It is the intelligence behind field-level pricing.

Price against ground truth

How it works

Insights and ideas.

Agriculture's knowledge lives in a billion places. SAGE brings it together with what you know about your own ground, and turns it into ideas you can act on.

Soil

Surveys, cores and the shape of the ground beneath every acre.

Water

Rain, drainage and the water table, from decades of records to the season ahead.

Plants

What the satellites see across every field, week after week.

Our story

A family connection to the land.

SAGE is personal. Our founder's grandfather lost the family farm in Iowa during the Great Depression, and spent the rest of his life helping farmers manage risk. SAGE carries that work forward: a public benefit company made up of inventors and builders bringing better intelligence to the risk and resilience of every field.

Inside the soil

It starts in the soil.

Alive and always changing. Every harvest, and every risk, begins here.

ScrollSwipe up to see your land the way SAGE does

The grower

You know
every
acre
by heart.

Earned season by season, often over generations.

One field, 157 acres

No two acres are alike.

Small differences in the soil make big differences in yield and profitability.

The farm

Every season leaves a mark.

Each planting, each storm, each choice is written into the ground.

Linn County, Iowa

But crop insurance treats
every acre the same.

When yield insurance is priced, the county average speaks for every field in it.

If you grow

You pay for the county,
not your field.

However you farm it.

If you insure

RMA prices counties,
not single fields.

Risk is local. So is the opportunity.

The United States

Over 3,000 counties. One number each.

What you pay is set by your county, not by your land or how you manage it.

Satellite, soil, water, rain, crops, risk

The picture exists. In pieces.

A century of knowledge, kept in a billion places.

Nothing threads them together.

If we could truly understand every field, insurance could fit each farmer.

Until SAGE.
