SeedTrax is a purpose-built digital platform designed specifically for seed production, bringing together field data, scouting insights, and analytics to help seed companies manage risk, optimize timing, and deliver predictable outcomes — from planting through harvest. Below are three key use cases that demonstrate how SeedTrax supports decision-making, improves operational visibility, and drives consistent results across the seed production lifecycle.
Learn moreA seed corn grower used SeedTrax to analyze planting speed, singulation, and NDVI data, discovering that running planters at 9–10 mph reduced stand uniformity and cost more than $100 per acre compared to planting at 7.5 mph. By identifying 7.5 mph as the optimal "sweet spot," the grower implemented tighter speed controls and reporting procedures to protect yield, quality, and ROI across high-value seed acres.
Download PDFA large-scale seed corn grower used SeedTrax to quantify the impact of heavy residue on emergence and yield, identifying a three-bushel-per-acre loss — approximately $39 per acre — linked to residue-related stand issues. By validating the financial impact with data, the grower prioritized improved tillage management, uncovering a potential ROI of up to five bushels per acre and strengthening data-driven decision-making in high-value seed production.
Download PDFAfter a wet spring delayed planting and with a narrow window for herbicide applications, a seed corn grower faced severe early-season weed pressure that led to crop stress and an estimated $50 per acre loss on one field. The situation highlighted the need for earlier, data-driven prioritization, using SeedTrax Weed Pressure Alerts to protect yield potential and allocate labor more effectively during compressed management windows.
