THE EVERYDAY CHALLENGE

Too much farm data.
Too many places to look.

Probes. Weather stations. Irrigation systems. Scouting platforms. Maps. Spreadsheets. Production records.

The information is there. But someone still has to open every system, interpret the graphs and decide what deserves attention.

V1.0 starts with supported soil moisture and weather sources. More systems are on the roadmap.

MEET FARMDESK DAILY

A practical daily briefing
for your farm.

Every morning, relevant probe and weather information comes together in one concise report. Start your day with the blocks that need a closer look.

Soil moisture

See the last 7 days of probe readings and which blocks are drying or responding to irrigation.

Weather

See the week’s forecast alongside the conditions that affect irrigation and field operations.

ET₀ / water demand

Put soil moisture changes in the context of atmospheric demand.

Anomalies

Spot unusual probe behaviour, weak irrigation responses and blocks that deserve inspection.

Today’s priorities

Quickly see which blocks deserve attention, without reviewing every graph.

Practical information to support your judgement. Your farm remains in your hands.

WHAT THE FARMER SEES

A week of trends.
A clear view of today.

A report you can read before the first walk through the farm. Delivered to your email, easy to open on your phone.

Start with the conditions

A 7-day weather graph puts temperature and rainfall alongside today’s wind and water demand.

Find the exceptions

The last 7 days of soil moisture show how a block is drying and responding at different depths.

Focus your next inspection

A clear priority to check in the field, with context from the data.

This example uses fictional blocks and sample readings.

BUILT FROM INSIDE FARMING

A practical problem.
A farming perspective.

FarmDesk is being developed in the Western Cape around a practical problem: farms increasingly have access to excellent digital systems, but the information remains fragmented.

FarmDesk is designed to connect those systems and make the information more useful for day-to-day farm management.

Our initial focus: table grapes, citrus and wine grapes.

MAKE YOUR DATA WORK HARDER

Your farm already has the data.
Let’s make it more useful.
