What is FarmAssist?
FarmAssist is an AI-powered agricultural advisor that gives farmers, agronomists, and researchers instant, plain-English answers about pesticide labels, crop chemical usage, acreage, and farming trends. It is operated by FarmAssist AI LLC and is available at farmassist.com.
What is the official website of FarmAssist?
The official website is farmassist.com. The previous farmassist.ai domain redirects to farmassist.com. Any other site using the FarmAssist name is unrelated to this service.
What data sources does FarmAssist use?
FarmAssist indexes USDA NASS Quick Stats (50 US states, 120+ crop categories, 30+ years), the US EPA pesticide registration system, the PMRA (Health Canada) Public Registry of Pesticides, and British Columbia's NMP nutrient-management resources. See the methodology page for details.
Is FarmAssist free to use?

Who is FarmAssist for?
FarmAssist is built for farmers, agronomists, certified crop advisors (CCAs), agricultural researchers, ag-tech teams, and extension specialists who need fast, citable answers from authoritative agricultural data.
Is FarmAssist a substitute for reading the pesticide label?
No. The physical pesticide label is the sole legally binding document under FIFRA (US) and the PCPA (Canada). FarmAssist data is for reference only — always read the full physical label before any application.
Is FarmAssist affiliated with the USDA, EPA, or Health Canada?
No. FarmAssist is an independent product of FarmAssist AI LLC. It uses public-domain and publicly available data from those agencies but is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any government body.
