View assessment options and pricing →What you will learn
Key limitations
Which site and climate factors may constrain crop performance.
Rainfed yield potential
Estimated potential yield under rainfed conditions.
Irrigation opportunities
How suitability and yield potential could change under an irrigated What-If scenario.
Planting timing
The Best Plant Week (BPW) for each assessed crop.
What you receive
A location-specific SmartYield™ Assessment Report bringing together your site information, historical climate and crop results in one place.
Your report presents suitability ratings, estimated yield potential, planting considerations and key observations to help you compare options and identify where further investigation is worthwhile.
Each selected field is assessed independently. Every assessment includes the option of a free digital SmartYield™ User Guide to help interpret the results. Tick the box on the assessment form and we'll email you a download link.
A starting point for due diligence
This desktop assessment helps focus subsequent field verification, specialist advice and detailed planning. Findings depend on the information supplied; it does not replace a site inspection or a complete feasibility study.
Winter crop example: oats
Summer crop example: short-season maize

Choose your assessment
Select the number of fields or management units you would like assessed.
Each field must be homogeneous. Multiple fields must share the same climate location.
Reports are normally provided within 10 business days. Prices are shown in AUD. The next step is to provide your site information using the assessment input form.
Explore the science
SmartYield™ applies its proprietary Yield Discount methodology to site characteristics, historical climate data and crop biological requirements to assess crop suitability and yield potential.

The methodology quantifies how individual site and climate limitations may affect crop yield. These effects are combined into a Total Yield Discount, providing a consistent basis for suitability classifications and estimated potential yield.
Assessment results are derived from defined scientific relationships and calculations, rather than AI-generated predictions or machine-learning models.
