Bield Farm
Soil, weather, and the
records that compound.
Per-field SSURGO soil profiles. Frost-date probability for every county. NAIP imagery, hardiness zones, climate normals. Pattern features unlock as your operation’s history accumulates — variety performance, profit-per-enterprise, year-over-year trends. The app gets visibly better the longer you use it.

Three commitments
What every Bield Farm feature is held to.
Honest intelligence
Pattern features unlock as your data accumulates. When the data is not there, we say so — no invented confidence, no AI hype.
Maps you actually trust
Federal public-domain data — LiDAR, SSURGO, NOAA, USGS, NHD, NIFC — self-hosted so nothing breaks when a vendor changes pricing.
Privacy you can verify
Your hunts, sits, catches, trips, and harvests stay in your account. Your individual data is never sold, traded, or shared.
The data underneath
The soil and weather your operation actually has.
Nine federal data feeds plus your own multi-year microclimate. SSURGO at field resolution, climate normals refined by every season you log.

How it works
Log, build, learn. The same loop, every season.
I
Log
You record what happened. Conditions, wind, baro, time, location, and the result — auto-captured wherever possible. Empty sessions count too.
II
Build
Structure emerges. After a handful of sits or trips, Bield begins to surface the cross-references — what conditions, what places, what time of day actually produced.
III
Learn
Patterns appear. By the second season, the app speaks back: which stand for tonight, which water for this tide, which variety in this frost window. Earned, not invented.
Pattern intelligence
The records that compound.
Each pattern card opens with a specific number from a specific operation. Yours, eventually.
Variety performance
Cherokee Purple · +28% on field 3
Every variety, every year, every field. Your operation builds its own record of what works on your land — independent of seed-catalog claims.
Profit per enterprise
Tomatoes profitable · corn loss-making
Income and expense separated per crop, per pen, per orchard block — so you find out which enterprise actually earned its keep.
Personal frost calendar
Field 1 · last frost ≈ Apr 12
NOAA climate normals refined by your own multi-year microclimate data. The county frost date does not match every field.
GDD windows
Corn silk · day 67 ± 4
Growing degree days computed against your field’s real weather history, not the regional average.
Conception → calving
283 days · est. May 18
Livestock breeding records that compound. Calving dates predicted from each cow’s history, not herd averages.
Drainage & conservation
CSP-compliant since 2024
NRCS drainage mapping plus your conservation practice records — EQIP and CSP documentation generated, not assembled.
The product
What Bield Farm actually does.
Eight surfaces, one engine. Built for the operator who logs because the year-end depends on it.
Per-field SSURGO
Soil type, capability class, drainage, properties — pulled from USDA SSURGO at the boundaries of your fields, not the county.
Three domains, equal depth
Crop, livestock, orchard. Most ag-tech is row-crop with a livestock button. Bield gives each domain its own engine.
Profit clarity
The tomatoes you love may be subsidizing the goats. Bield separates income and expense per enterprise so the year ends honest.
Variety memory
Three seasons of variety records by field. The data the catalog won’t give you, because it’s not theirs to give.
Personal frost
Your field, your microclimate, your last-frost probability — refined by every year of weather you log.
NAIP + boundaries
High-resolution federal aerial imagery for accurate field-boundary mapping, ready to drop pins on.
Conservation paperwork
CSP and EQIP records generated from your operation’s log — drainage, cover crops, rotation history.
Honest gaps
Pattern features unlock as your operation’s history accumulates. When the data is not there, we say so.
What Bield does differently
Three ways Bield Farm is not like the others.
If you have tried a farm app and bounced off, these are usually why.
Built by an operator
A lot of ag-tech is built by people who have never been around a farm. You can tell. Bield is built by a farming family in Virginia — features are not guessed at.
Crop, livestock, orchard equal
Bield Farm is not a row-crop app with a livestock button. Each domain gets its own engine, its own UI, its own profit math.
Specific to your fields
County-level recommendations get the answer wrong about half the time. Bield works at field resolution because that is where the soil and microclimate actually live.

Common questions
Frequently asked.
Pulled from real conversations with operators who tried Bield first. If your question isn't here, write us at hello@bield.app.
No. We offer a 7-day free trial that unlocks the full app — every map, every reference system, every pattern engine. After the trial, the subscription is $12.99/month or $79.99/year for a single app. Bundles are annual only — any two apps for $119.99/year, or all three for $179.99/year. We charge fairly so we don't have to sell ads or your operational data.
You can cancel any time after the trial. Subscriptions don't auto-renew silently — we send a renewal reminder before each charge. If you cancel within the trial window, you're not billed at all.
No. Your individual field logs, soil tests, livestock records, and yield data never leave your account. Aggregate signals (regional variety performance, frost-date refinements) come only from operators who explicitly opt in, and the contributing data is anonymized at the collection layer.
All 50 states, plus DC, Alaska, Hawaii — for SSURGO soil maps, hardiness zones, NAIP imagery, frost-date probability tables (per county), crop calendars, and variety performance reviews. The roadmap items in the comparison above are honest about what comes after launch.
Federal public-domain data — USDA SSURGO soil profiles, USDA hardiness zones, NAIP aerial imagery, NOAA climate normals for frost windows, USDA conservation practice catalogs. Processed and self-hosted on our own infrastructure. No commercial licensing fees means we can ship the resolution that beats commercial agricultural mapping for diversified operations.
Each single app — Hunt, Fish, or Farm — is $12.99/month or $79.99/year. Same price across all three. Bield Farm covers a wider operational surface than the recreational apps (soil, livestock, calendars, varieties, frost windows, food plots, profit-per-enterprise), and comparable farm-management tools sit at $200–500/month — but we landed all three at the same simple rate.
Two bundle options. Any two apps for $119.99/year — pick Farm + Hunt, Farm + Fish, or Hunt + Fish at checkout. All three apps for $179.99/year. Both bundles are annual only — no monthly bundle rate. That's a 25% discount off two or three singles bought separately at the annual rate.
Bundles make sense if you're using more than one app across the full year — frost windows in spring, grazing rotation in summer, deer rut in fall, planning the next season in winter. Monthly bundling wouldn't reflect how anyone actually uses these together. If you want monthly billing, subscribe to single apps individually.
The product compounds the longer you use it — variety reviews mature with each season's trial data, profit-per-enterprise gets sharper with multi-year history, and frost-date norms refresh with NOAA's annual climate updates. The annual rate is the rate for farmers who plan to stay through a full season cycle.
No. Bield Farm doesn't do invoicing, payroll, or bank reconciliation. It tracks operations and surfaces patterns — what variety produced, what breed grew best, when to plant, when to expect frost. Pair it with QuickBooks or similar for the books.
Yes. Logging, soil maps, frost calendars, and pattern engines all work offline. Maps download for the regions you use. Weather conditions backfill when you return to signal.
Yes. One subscription covers iOS, Android, and web — your phone, tablet, and laptop all sync to the same account.
All operations and observations stay in your account. You keep everything you logged. Pattern analysis pauses until you resubscribe. Nothing is ever deleted automatically — you can also fully export and delete the account on demand.
Yes. Subscribers can export all logs as CSV at any time from the Settings screen. Your data belongs to you.
Part of Bield
Bield Farm is one of three.
One account, one intelligence engine, one federal data stack.
The year that worked, and the one that didn’t.
Start the 7-day free trial. One underperforming enterprise found in time pays for the subscription many times over.
