Spray and Tell: Spray Records That Actually Work for You

Spray records are a legal requirement. They're also the kind of thing that turns into a pile of paper in the cab, a spreadsheet nobody updates, or a subscription to a platform that monetizes the data you entered. None of those options are acceptable.

Spray and Tell is the spray-record module inside FarmIQ™. It does what the job actually requires: log a spray application — product, rate, date, field, operator, weather conditions — and have that record available for an inspector, an insurance claim, or your own end-of-season review. Fast entry. Clean PDF export. No hidden agenda.

What it logs

Each application record captures date, field, operator, product, rate, tank mix, weather (temperature, wind speed, wind direction), and re-entry interval and pre-harvest interval status for the products applied. The system flags any REI, PHI, or buffer-zone issues before you save, so compliance checks happen at entry — not during a surprise audit.

PDF export generates a formatted report suitable for regulatory review or insurance documentation. The report lives in your account and nowhere else.

On data ownership

Big ag platforms treat your spray records as a data asset. They aggregate applications across their user base, run analytics on what you're spraying and where, and sell or use that intelligence in ways that don't benefit you. If you're a grower, that's your proprietary operation data funding a competitor's market intelligence.

Spray and Tell doesn't pool data. Your records are yours — stored in your account, accessible to you, never aggregated with other customers' data and never sold. That's not a marketing position; it's how the system is built. See our data philosophy →

Where it fits in the stack

Spray and Tell lives inside FarmIQ™ alongside satellite imagery, variable-rate prescriptions, and field history. If you're already using FarmDefender™ for weed targeting, your spray events can tie directly to the application records — what was treated, where, and when. The records that used to live in a paper notebook become part of the same dataset as your yield maps and soil reports.

If you're not using the rest of the stack yet, Spray and Tell still works standalone. It's a good place to start.
