Farmland intelligence for the people who own the land
Most land decisions get made on partial information. A neighbor's guess, a county average, the one offer already on the table.
AgriTerra Scout gives you the full federal picture of your parcel, then shows what those exact acres could earn if you farm them, rent them, conserve them, or lease them for solar or wind. Side by side, in dollars, with every number linked to its source.
Free. No card. Any parcel in the U.S., results in under a minute. See a sample report

The problem
Right now, pricing your own land takes seven tabs and a guess.
To really know what a parcel is worth, you have to pull the soil survey, a flood map, a wetlands layer, county cash-rent tables, a conservation-program list, a solar estimate, and last year's crop history. They live in different federal systems, none of which talk to each other, most of which were built for specialists. So the number a landowner carries into a lease or a sale is usually someone else's. The neighbor's, the county's, or the buyer's.
How we get our numbers
One read of your parcel, built from the public record.
Type an address or draw your boundary. Scout pulls the federal data for those exact acres and puts it in plain language. Every figure shows where it came from and when.
Where the data is not available for your parcel, Scout tells you, instead of guessing.
6 federal data sources: USDA NASS, USDA NRCS SSURGO, NREL, FEMA, USGS, USFWS.
How we get our numbersSoil and productivity
USDA soil survey, scored 0 to 100.
Water
USGS gauges and drought context.
Flood and wetlands
FEMA flood zones and USFWS wetlands.
Conservation fit
Screening against CRP, EQIP, CSP, ACEP, and RCPP, with estimated payment ranges.
Energy resource
NREL solar production and state wind suitability.
Market context
USDA NASS county cash-rent benchmarks and USDA AMS state cash grain bids and basis.
The Optimizer
See four futures for the same acres, side by side.
This is the part no other land tool does. The Land Use Optimizer takes your parcel and lays out what it could return under each real option: keep farming it, cash-rent it, enroll it in a conservation program, or lease it for solar or wind. Same acres, four columns, dollars per acre. A comparison instead of a hunch.
The energy and program figures are benchmarks, not signed offers, and Scout is clear about which numbers are hard data and which are estimates. You take a realistic range into the conversation, not a fantasy. See how we get our numbers.
Illustrative ranges. Your parcel's numbers come from its own soil, resource, and market data, with each figure marked as hard data or estimate.
How It Works
From address to analysis in under a minute
Start With Your Address
Type your address and jump straight to your parcel, with no account and no state menu. Prefer to browse, or working in a draw-your-own state? Pick a state by hand.
Find Your Parcel
Tap your parcel on the satellite map. Where the parcel layer isn’t live yet, outline it with the draw tool.
Get Your Score
Scout queries six federal APIs in parallel and returns a full read of the parcel: productivity, value, water, soil, solar, wind, and market data.

What you walk away with
A report you can put on the table.
The paid report is a shareable PDF for a single parcel, built to hand to the people who need to agree with you: a lender, an agronomist, an FSA office, a family member, or the person on the other side of a lease. That negotiation moment is the one landowners bring up on their own.
84%
of participants said they would use a report like this to confirm their own plan or negotiate better lease terms.

Where we draw the line
What AgriTerra will not do.
-
It is not an appraisal and not legal advice. It is a faster, clearer first read you can verify yourself.
-
It shows its sources. Every number ties back to the agency and the date it came from.
-
It says "we don't know" when the data is not there, rather than filling the gap with a guess.
-
It works for you, not the other side. We do not build tools that sell your land's data to the developers or buyers bidding against you.
Who it's for
Built for the person who owns the land.
Landowners and farmers
Price a lease, weigh a purchase, or plan the next few seasons with the full picture of your ground.
Heirs and families
Inherited land you have never farmed. See what it is, what it is worth, and what your options are before anyone pressures a decision.
Buyers
Check soil, water, flood, and income potential on a parcel before you make an offer.

Pricing
No other tool compares four land uses in dollars per acre on the same parcel.
Farm income, cash rent, conservation, and solar or wind, side by side for your field. A Decision Report is $89, roughly 6 to 9 percent of a Midwest farm appraisal ($1,030 to $1,530). A year of Land Scout is $390, about a quarter to a third of one appraisal, with Decision Reports included.
