The AI platform connects farmer records once and puts them to work across cost-share programs, Scope 3 reporting, and 45Z feedstock claims. Partnering today with grower cooperative, university, government, and supply chain partners across millions of acres.
RIVERSIDE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FarmRaise today launched FarmRaise Passport, the enterprise record system for grower-reported claims, and with it a fundamental change to what it costs to scale a farm program. With FarmRaise Passport, connect their farm management systems and bank accounts once and upload their documents, and AI will parse, structure, and link datapoints to the records behind them. Program administrators get audit-ready evidence across cost-share and conservation delivery, supply-shed data collection for Scope 3 reporting, and field-level evidence for 45Z feedstock claims, without the surveys, phone calls, and on-farm visits historically required to collect it.
In the most recent enrollment cycle FarmRaise measured, 96% of farmer-participants successfully shared data and required documentation via the FarmRaise platform. The prevailing model across the industry is the opposite: program staff manually extracting answers from producers, form by form, the single largest cost in farm data collection. Removing that step for nearly every producer is what makes programs that were previously too expensive to run at scale pencil out.
"I grew up on an Angus cattle farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley watching my family write the same numbers on form after form: for the bank, for the conservation district, for the government," said Jayce Hafner, CEO and founder of FarmRaise. "FarmRaise Passport is the product I wish my parents had. Connect your records once, enter data once, and your Passport works for you. And because the cost of running a program on that data just collapsed, programs like conservation cost-share, Scope 3, and 45Z can finally scale."
One system, one exposure, one answer.
Cost-share programs, Scope 3 reporting, and 45Z claims run on different rules and reviewers, but they share one exposure: an organization defending a claim to a third party on the strength of records created by producers. When a reviewer asks for the document behind a line item, the answer has to be retrievable, and verifiers consistently name incomplete records as the slowest part of a review.
FarmRaise Passport gives administrators one system to enroll producers, structure what they report, and keep every claim linked to its source document, so when a verifier asks, the answer is a click, not a search. Field-level evidence (nitrogen, tillage, cover crops, manure) stays source-linked, with read-only access for verifiers and delegated upload for consultants. Where quantification is required, reviewers can sample the inputs and recalculate independently. FarmRaise is the evidence layer, and it complements existing MRV efforts with audit-ready farmer data.
"The organization runs the program. FarmRaise Passport holds the proof," said Jayce. "A cost-share administrator, a sustainability team, and a co-op look like they're solving three different problems. Underneath, they're all defending a claim built on records someone else created. We make sure the record is there, and legible, the moment the attesting party asks."
Live today at supply-chain scale.
FarmRaise currently partners with twelve grower cooperatives, government agencies, and supply chain partners, spanning millions of acres of livestock, row crop, and specialty crop production. Organizations including Blue Diamond Growers and Avalo already run their on-farm data collection and reporting with FarmRaise. Additionally, FarmRaise is the company behind many of the Farm Service Agency's farmer-facing digital tools.
FarmRaise Passport is available now. Organizations can request a walkthrough at passport.farmraise.com.
About FarmRaise
FarmRaise is building the farm data infrastructure that powers the next generation of agriculture. Farmers connect their farm records once and put their data to work across government programs, lending, tax credits like 45Z, and supply chain reporting, while institutions receive real-time, structured, source-linked data at a fraction of today's cost. Founded out of Stanford University and an Angus beef cattle farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, FarmRaise partners with grower cooperatives, government agencies, and supply chains representing millions of acres of livestock, row crop, and specialty crop production.
