AI agent for agricultural scientists
Farmer Advisory Follow-up Agent
Every piece of advice is tracked to uptake and outcome, with the next step adjusted to what actually happened.
What it does
After a farm visit, the advice is on paper and nobody checks whether the farmer followed it or if it worked. This agent logs the recommendations from each visit, schedules follow-ups for the right dates, and later checks field data and weather to see how things are going. For example, if you advised a late nitrogen top-up, it checks rainfall, crop stage and any scouting data. It drafts a follow-up note to the farmer. If results look off, such as disease pressure rising despite the advice, it adapts the advice and drafts a revised note. You approve every note. Edge case: when a farmer has not acted on the advice, it asks what blocked it instead of repeating the same message.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Farm visit completed
- Log each recommendation with expected date and result
- Schedule follow-up dates based on crop stage
- On follow-up date, pull field data, scouting notes and weather
- Does the field data show the advice was carried out?If not: draft a question asking what got in the way, then wait for the reply. Back to step 4.
- Compare observed results to the expected outcome
- Are results within the expected range?If not: revise the advice using new weather and crop stage, then recheck the comparison. Back to step 6.
- Draft the follow-up note with next steps
- Scientist approves each noteThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Updated advice log and next follow-up date
How it decides
It compares expected outcomes from the advice to observed field data and weather. If they diverge beyond a margin, it revises the advice or asks the farmer why.
- No action taken after 14 days: ask what blocked it
- Result outside the expected range by more than 20 percent: revise the advice
- Heavy rain after an application: recheck the dose or timing
- Farmer prefers phone: draft a call script instead of a message
Make it yours
Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.
- Follow-up timing after visit
- Result margin that triggers a revision (default 20 percent)
- Farmer contact preferences
- Data sources
- Note style and language
What keeps you in control
It always asks you first
- Every note to the farmer
- Any change in recommended product or rate
Hard limits
- Never give advice that was not approved
- Never share one farm's data with another
It stops when
- Done: advice closed with documented result
- Stop: farmer opts out
