About AGSIST
Market data and tools for working US producers across grain, livestock, dairy, and specialty. Built by one person who got tired of the good stuff being locked up.
What This Is
AGSIST is an ag dashboard. Live futures across grain, livestock, dairy, and energy, plus local weather, spray and urea-loss conditions, USDA reports, prediction markets, calculators, and a daily briefing. All in one place, no login.
The good ag data has always sat behind subscriptions built for commodity desks, not for the people doing the actual work. I thought that was backwards. My own clients needed something better, so I built it.
Who Built This
I'm a Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) working with grain, livestock, dairy, and specialty producers. AGSIST started as something I wanted for myself and my clients, then turned into something I figured every farmer should have. Every line of code here is mine. No team, no investors, self-funded. I build it nights and weekends because I think this data ought to be easier to get to.
How This Stays Running
Right now it's self-funded. No investors, no sponsors yet, nothing propping it up. I built it on my own time and my own dime because I thought it needed to exist.
That has to change. Data costs are real, and they grow as the site grows. The way I close that gap is the AGSIST Daily Briefing, a morning market read that goes out to US producers every day. I'm after one founding sponsor for it. One ag company per issue, in front of people who signed up because they wanted to be there.
If that's worth a conversation, reach out. The tools stay available at no charge for non-commercial use right now. I won't pretend that's forever.
Founding Sponsor — AGSIST Daily Briefing

What's Coming
This is an active project, still getting built out. On the list: a crop progress page, more USDA yield tools, a wider cash-bid network, and deeper briefing tiers with more detailed analysis. If something's broken or missing, tell me.
