# Terrasow > Terrasow connects the tools, equipment and data farmers already own into one intelligent platform. No hardware lock-in. No steep learning curve. Terrasow is a farm operating system, a responsive web app that runs in the browser on desktop, tablet and phone, with nothing to install. It is in beta on working sugarcane farms in Louisiana and is not yet generally available. Farmers can sign up for early access on the homepage. - Status: Farm operating system · Sugarcane beta live - Live on working cane farms: Beta with A. Wilbert's Sons in Louisiana since 2022 - Works with: John Deere Operations Center, CaseIH AFS Connect, Azure FarmBeats, Hylio drones - Validated with: LSU AgCenter, Ohio State University, Sugarcane mills - Contact: info@terrasow.com ## Why now Global food demand will peak in the next 30 years. Farmers are under pressure to produce more with less. Precision agriculture promised answers, but the hardware is expensive, the data lives in silos and the software was built for the office, not the field. - Global farming market: $3.3T - Family farms worldwide: 500M+ - Agtech market CAGR: 18% ## How it works What if we could connect the tools farmers already use into one smart system? Terrasow sits on top of what is already in the barn, the cab and the cloud, and turns it into decisions. Data sources: - Tractor telemetry: John Deere · CaseIH - Drone imagery: Scans and spraying - Soil and NIR sensing: Real-time samples - Weather: Field-level forecasts - Mills and buyers: Harvest-to-market - Field crews: Mobile scouting ## One app. The whole farm, on any screen. Terrasow is a responsive web app. Open it in a browser on a desktop, tablet or phone and the same 3D map, field history and season timeline are there, with nothing to install. - 3D field map: Every field on live satellite imagery, colored by crop, variety, age class or yield, with equipment, treatments, sampling and tasks as overlays. - Field history at a glance: Tap a field to see its TRS trend, acreage and varieties, plus the latest sample down to stalk count, juice weight, pH and Brix. - Season timeline: Scrub through a year of applications, harvests, plantings, samples, tillage and tasks, and view the farm as it was on any date. - Terrabot (Coming soon): An AI assistant that answers questions about your fields from the same data the map already holds. ## Transform your sugarcane operation. Terrasow is being proven on working cane farms in Louisiana, alongside growers, mills and university researchers, not in a demo. Beta results on working cane farms (measured ranges): - Sugar yield: up 8–15% - Water usage: down 12–25% - Fertilizer applied: down 15–30% - Harvest timing accuracy: up 20–40% Launch partner: A. Wilbert's Sons (Farming Louisiana since 1887 · Terrasow partner since 2022). "He wants to get his boots dirty and prove it on our dirt, not in some app demo." (Klein Kirby, CEO, A. Wilbert's Sons) ## Team The founding team met building Fielding Systems, a real-time cloud platform for oil and gas field operations that was scaled and acquired. Terrasow applies that experience to a working, regenerative family farm. - [Shawn Cutter](https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawncutter/), Founder and Chief Executive Officer: Grew up on a family farm and took over running it after his father's passing. Founded and led Fielding Systems before starting CV Labs in 2020 to build Terrasow on the farm. - [Ben Marte](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benmarte/), Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer: Architect of the Terrasow platform, from UX to engineering and security. Previously UX/UI Director at Fielding Systems. - [Jeff LaFavors](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-lafavors/), Co-founder and Chief Product Officer: Leads product strategy and operations, with a background in Agile delivery, big data and machine learning. Helped scale Fielding Systems through to its acquisition. - [Savio Fernandes](https://www.linkedin.com/in/savio-j-fernandes/), Data Strategy and AI: Enterprise data strategist who has led data and analytics organizations across finance, healthcare and energy software, and served as Chief Data Officer at CV Labs. Shapes how Terrasow's farm knowledge graph, governance and AI capabilities come together. - [Gene Carbone](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gcarbone/), Integration and Solution Architecture: Twenty years of enterprise integration and solution engineering leadership at Sterling Commerce, IBM, MuleSoft, Salesforce and Celigo. Guides how Terrasow connects equipment, sensors, mills and existing farm systems into one platform. ## For investors Agriculture is one of the largest industries on earth and one of the least connected. Terrasow is building the layer that connects it. - $42.4B: Agtech market projected by 2025, up from $18.2B in 2020 - 11.6%: Precision agriculture CAGR, $6.9B to $12.1B Why Terrasow: - No hardware lock-in: Works with the equipment farms already run instead of selling them new iron. - Integrations first: John Deere, CaseIH, Azure FarmBeats, Hylio drones and handheld NIR feed one knowledge graph. - Real-time NIR sampling: Sugar content in 15 seconds in the field, replacing lab turnaround measured in days. - Field-first UX: Built for the cab and the row: GPS scouting, photos and team sharing from a phone. - Research pipeline: Validation with LSU, Ohio State and mill partners on live crops. - Crop-by-crop beta program: Launch with real growers per crop, starting with high-value sugarcane. ## Links - [Homepage](https://terrasow.com/): the full one-page site - [Early access sign-up](https://terrasow.com/#signup): Sign up to be notified when Terrasow launches for your crop, and get a seat in the next beta cohort. - [Investor inquiries](mailto:info@terrasow.com): Tell us a little about you and we'll get back within a couple of days.
