  • Each has a real cost: Bushel Farm prices are not shown on the current pages; the tier names appear but the figures sit behind an old pricing path; Farmers Edge farmers Edge priced its FarmCommand platform per acre rather than per seat, with tiers from $1.50 CAD per acre for basic imagery-only monitoring up to $6.00 CAD per acre for variable rate fertility prescriptions, meaning cost scales directly with farm size rather than user count (archived pricing page, 5 April 2020)
  • They diverge on capability: Bushel Farm covers Field management, Farmers Edge covers Satellite imagery.
