ROI Example
What This Looks Like on a 2,000-Acre Iowa Corn/Soy Operation
Professional tier — based on published ISU Extension and USDA-ARS research data
Annual Cost
2,000 acres × $1.00/acre/month × 12 months
Estimated Annual Return (Conservative)
Based on ISU Extension, Crop Protection Network, and USDA-ARS published research ranges. Actual results depend on disease pressure, weather, and baseline practices.
At the conservative end, that's a 2.1x return on system cost. At the high end, over 6.8x. Based on published ISU Extension and USDA-ARS research — not marketing estimates.

Upfront hardware cost
$8–$15/acre

USDA Conservation Programs
Some farmers ask whether EQIP or other USDA cost-share programs can help offset the cost of sensor monitoring.
The honest answer: standard NRCS practice codes do not currently have a clear line item for soil moisture sensor hardware or monitoring subscriptions on rainfed cropland. EQIP Practice Standard 449 (Irrigation Water Management) applies to irrigated operations. Practice Standard 590 (Nutrient Management) covers the management plan itself, not monitoring equipment.
That said, NRCS programs evolve. State-level enhancements, Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG), and pilot programs for precision agriculture technology do appear from time to time. Eligibility varies by state, county, and sign-up period.
We encourage every farmer to check directly with their local NRCS district conservationist about current funding opportunities. We're happy to provide any technical documentation they request about our sensor system.
