Proagrica launches Sirrus Suite to extend collaborative agronomy functions across devices

Jul 28, 2021

Stillwater, Oklahoma – Proagrica, the largest technology and data business serving the global ag market, has launched the Sirrus Suite of products for farmers and agronomists. This extends the functionality beyond iOS, to also include Android (currently available in beta) and to a new web app. The Sirrus Suite manages in-field agronomy data including scouting, soil sampling, crop inputs, and harvest data, and is used by thousands of agronomists around the world.

The release of Sirrus Web marks a transition from Proagrica’s legacy desktop application, Summit. As all versions of the app sync data using the agX® platform, interoperability across devices and users is ensured. Therefore, collaboration is increased between agronomists and their customers, enabling them to work more efficiently.

Matt Waits, President, Ag Solutions at Proagrica says: “This next stage in the evolution of Sirrus is the most significant yet. By moving to a web-based application, we greatly enhance the user experience. Collaboration and flexibility are key; our customers can now access their data from any device, anywhere. This streamlined, frictionless approach enables customers to accomplish more in their day-to-day work and reduce the risk of user error.”

The Sirrus Suite allows growers and agronomists to upload, store and share data easily. It provides seamless access to data to improve workflows from planning to execution across stakeholders.

Other functionality includes tracking work orders; updating completed jobs; importing machinery data; and the ability to make quick substitutions as necessary in response to unexpected disruptions, such as shifts in the weather or inventory.

Agronomists will also be able to tap into Proagrica’s FarmRite service to create crop input recommendations, make edits to fertilizer, seed and pesticide recommendations, and share their reports and shapefiles with applicators and growers.

Matt Waits concludes: “The Sirrus Suite gives customers full oversight of their data and removes the bottlenecks to successful collaboration. This helps build relationships between agronomists and their clients that are founded on trust and transparency.

“As we look to the future for Sirrus, Proagrica’s acquisition of compliance firm CDMS earlier this year sets the stage for further enhanced value. Today we are delivering pesticide labels to our Sirrus customers, but in the near future we will bring compliance functions into Sirrus, via the CDMS label checking service, in order to ensure agronomists are making on-label recommendations.”

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
