Better crop scouting goes beyond replacing pen and paper. Capture field observations, photos and notes as you scout, then compile everything into a professional report and send it to your grower before you leave the field.

Field mapping starts before you ever walk a field. Create field boundaries directly in QA Advisor, assign crops and varieties, and color code each field so your scouting map reflects exactly what’s planted and where. Already have shapefiles? Send them over and we’ll get them imported.
Every field you map is immediately available for scouting, template assignment, and reporting. No limits on field count — whether you’re managing fifty accounts or five hundred fields, QA Advisor scales with your operation.
Mark field entrances, see distances at a glance, and get turn-by-turn routing to any field directly from the mobile app. Tap a field and your phone’s mapping tools take it from there.
This is especially useful when seasonal scouts are covering unfamiliar territory — no calls asking for directions, no wrong gate, no wasted time.
Corn isn’t grapes. Soybeans aren’t potatoes. Your scouting forms shouldn’t treat them that way. Build custom templates for each crop, operation, or scouting program so your team captures the right observations every time, whether you’re walking row crops or scouting blocks and vineyards.
Capture field observations as you scout: notes, photos, map annotations, and customizable scouting forms built for the crop and operation you’re working. Geo-tagged photos and field mapping add the where to the what, giving you a complete scouting map of conditions and issues across every field, block, or growing location.
When scouting is complete, turn those observations into a professional PDF report with field maps, photos, conditions, and recommendations your grower can act on. Send it before you leave the field as a PDF by text or email, or directly to the QA Farmer mobile app.
When multiple scouts are covering the same operation, merge their individual reports into one consolidated view before anything goes to the grower. One report, one professional presentation, regardless of how many people were in the field.
Sending the scouting report is only part of the job. When you send it through QA Farmer, your grower gets notified and the report lands in their app. Back in QA Advisor, you can see when they’ve viewed it — it’s the same PDF either way, whether it’s sent through QA Farmer, by text, or by email.
No more wondering whether the message got through. QA Farmer also gives growers everyday tools for weather, grain markets, and bin monitoring, so there’s genuine reason for them to open the app regularly, which means your reports get seen.

Spend your time where it matters most. Use satellite imagery on mobile to help identify areas that need a closer look, or direct scouts to known problem spots within a field. Set scouting locations, associate reports with those locations, and return to the same areas to track issues throughout the season and across growing seasons.
During scouting season, agronomists live in the QA Advisor mobile app — on a phone or a tablet, in the field. Touch-optimized data entry works fully offline in fields without signal. Your data and scouting templates are cached on the device, so a dead zone never costs you a scouting report. Sync happens automatically when you’re back online.
Scouting doesn’t stop when you submit the report. With the Tasks add-on, schedule a follow-up visit while you’re still in the field, assign work to your team, and track what needs to happen next — all tied directly to the scouting data you just captured.
Managing seasonal scouts? See all of their reports in one place and approve them before anything reaches your growers.
Integrated pest management is the framework agronomists use to make informed, season-long decisions. QA Advisor supports the full five-step IPM process, connecting scouting, analysis, recommendations, action, and follow-up in one platform.

Follow-up Scouting
If you manage scouting across multiple farms, growers, or organizations, QA Advisor can handle all of them under one account. Partition your growers and their fields into separate farms using the organization designer, with multiple levels of hierarchy so your account reflects the way your business is actually structured. Every farm has its own fields and reports, and you see all of it in one place without logging in and out or managing separate systems.
QA Advisor’s core platform is priced by users and roles, not by the acre. Scouting, recommendations, soil sampling, and reporting are all included. Add-on modules let you expand the platform as your operation grows, each priced to fit the capabilities you actually need.
When you have a question, a real person answers. FarmQA offers one-on-one support for every customer.
Capture field observations, photos, and notes as you scout, then turn them into professional reports you can send before you leave the field.
"FarmQA had the field boundaries on a map, it had a list of the pests that I was looking for, and the one-page report was something I could feel proud to send to a grower."
