A Grandfather. Two Boys. And the Stepdad Who Can't Drive a Tractor.
CropYield AI wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born at a kitchen table in Iowa, between a stepdad, two stepsons, and a problem worth solving.
There's a man in Iowa teaching two boys how to farm. His name is Papa Randy. He's up before the sun, with 40 years of knowing what the land needs. His grandsons, Beckham and Maddox, are learning from the best.
I'm Dave. Their stepdad. I can't drive a tractor. But I can build technology. So I built CropYield AI — a daily AI market score, SMS alerts in the cab, break-even on every screen, 5-year price history with your break-even line drawn right on the chart, weather scoped to your fields, and a morning voice brief on the Pro plan.
Core functionality was built in under two weeks. Launch is gated on carrier SMS approval, not build time.
