FarmQA, Inc.
FarmQA is a Fargo, North Dakota software company that builds a connected digital-agronomy platform for the people who advise farmers. Its mobile scouting app and web console let agronomists and crop consultants scout fields, coordinate soil sampling, plan fertility, and write variable-rate prescriptions from one system. Founded in 2015 out of a conversation between farm-equipment maker Howard Dahl and Appareo founder Barry Batcheller, FarmQA now manages roughly 37 million acres for more than 500 organizations and closed a $4M seed round in 2025.
