Harvest Profit API integration services (farm P&L · grain contracts · OpenData)

1. Authorized account login

We mirror the Harvest Profit mobile login flow (account/password, session refresh, John Deere SSO bridge where applicable) and expose it as a stable token-issuing endpoint. Use it to bind a grower account once, then pull data for that operation across multiple farm entities and landlords.

2. Field-level P&L extraction

Read budgeted vs. actual revenue and cost lines per field, per crop, per owner. Surface break-even price, contribution margin, and overhead allocation in a JSON payload that drops directly into Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio, or a lender's underwriting model.

3. Grain contract APIs

List, create, edit, and settle grain contracts — cash, HTA, basis, deferred price, and futures-fixed. Track delivery schedules against outstanding bushels, attach load tickets, and reconcile payments. Useful for elevators, brokers, and farm CFOs running a unified marketing book.

4. Inputs & applications sync

Push or pull seed, fertilizer, and chemical applications at field granularity. Already-deployed bridges with John Deere Operations Center turn as-applied machine data into per-acre cost-of-production lines — we extend that bridge to your custom agronomy or sustainability platform.

5. Landowner & entity splits

The Pro tier of Harvest Profit handles landowner splits, equipment cost rollups, and multi-entity reporting. We expose those splits as APIs so accountants, FSA reporters, and land-services apps can produce 1099 packets or cash-rent statements without manual export.

6. Webhooks & delta sync

For platforms that need near-real-time updates (e.g. lenders monitoring covenants, insurers triggering claims), we ship a webhook layer that fires on contract settlement, P&L changes > threshold, or new field application logged.

A. Ag-lender covenant monitoring

A regional ag bank wants to watch working capital and projected revenue across 200 row-crop borrowers without quarterly PDF dumps. We pipe each borrower's Harvest Profit P&L, contract book, and outstanding inventory into the bank's underwriting system on a weekly delta. Fields used: operation_id, net_income_to_date, contracted_bushels, open_basis. Maps directly to OpenFinance-style permissioned data sharing.

B. Co-op grain desk reconciliation

An elevator's grain desk needs to match the contracts it has on its side with what the grower's Harvest Profit shows as open and settled. We expose /grain/contracts and /grain/settlements, then run nightly reconciliation against the elevator's ERP (e.g. AgVance, Cultura). Discrepancies trigger a Slack alert before the close-of-month report.

C. Sustainability & carbon program ingestion

Carbon programs need verified field applications, not screenshots. We pull applications and inputs from Harvest Profit, normalise them to the carbon program's schema, and submit through the program's API with audit trail. This pattern is the same one Leaf Agriculture and similar unified-API providers use across the AgTech stack.

D. Crop insurance APH & claim support

Yield history (APH) and per-field harvested bushels are pulled from Harvest Profit's harvest module and mapped to RMA reporting structures. When a hail or drought event triggers a claim, the adjuster gets a pre-built field-level yield packet instead of asking for paper records.

E. Multi-entity farm CFO consolidation

Larger operations run several LLCs — row crops, cattle, trucking, land. We consolidate Harvest Profit data with QuickBooks Online and a separate cattle ledger so the family CFO sees one balance sheet. Same OpenData primitives: token, scope, paginated reads, webhook on change.

Regulatory alignment

For US row-crop operations, the relevant frameworks include the Privacy and Security Principles for Farm Data stewarded by Ag Data Transparent, USDA-NRCS data handling guidance, and the FSMA traceability rule for any harvested produce that touches the human food chain. Where an operation handles EU-resident workers or partners, GDPR data-subject rules apply to identifiable user records. The 2025 USDA × Palantir National Farm Security Action Plan further raises the bar on who can hold and move farm data.

How we handle it

• Per-grower, per-scope authorization — tokens cover only the data the grower opted into
• Encrypted transport (TLS 1.2+) and at-rest encryption on any cached payloads
• Retention windows configurable per integration (default 30 days for raw, longer for aggregates)
• Full audit log per API call: who, when, scope, IP, response code
• NDA + signed data processing agreement available on request

Granular

Row-crop financials, agronomy, and operations on one platform. Users frequently need P&L parity between Granular and Harvest Profit when consolidating multi-entity operations.

FarmLogs (Bushel Farm)

Field activity logging and now part of Bushel; growers run it for in-season activity tracking, then sync activities and grain marketing back into Harvest Profit-style P&L.

Conservis

Enterprise farm management with a sustainability lens. Common request: bridge Conservis production data with Harvest Profit financials for lenders and investors.

Bushel Farm

Imports field activities from John Deere Operations Center and Climate FieldView and calculates per-acre cost of production — a parallel view of the same source data Harvest Profit uses.

Climate FieldView

Bayer's data platform for planting, application, and harvest layers. Already a data partner for Harvest Profit; integration work usually involves extending the existing bridge.

John Deere Operations Center

Owns the parent relationship since the 2020 acquisition. The richest source of as-applied and machine data feeding Harvest Profit financials.

Traction Ag

Cloud farm accounting; teams that adopt Traction often want to pull Harvest Profit grain marketing and field cost data into Traction's GL.

FarmBooks

Desktop-style farm bookkeeping with payroll and inventory. Integration target for growers moving from FarmBooks to a real-time, mobile-first stack.

Agrivi

Crop production and traceability widely used outside the US; useful counterpart to Harvest Profit when an operation has international acres.

CropTracker

Specialty-crop focused (fruit, vegetable). Harvest and packing data from CropTracker can be normalised alongside Harvest Profit's row-crop ledger for diversified operations.

Leaf Agriculture

Unified-API provider for AgTech. We often deliver Harvest Profit data in a Leaf-compatible shape so downstream tools that already speak Leaf can plug straight in.

Mobble

Livestock and mixed-farm record keeping. Combined with Harvest Profit, lets a mixed operation see grain P&L and livestock movements in one report.

Deliverables checklist

• OpenAPI 3.1 specification for every endpoint we ship
• Protocol & auth flow report (login, token refresh, session, John Deere SSO bridge where relevant)
• Runnable source code for login, P&L, grain contract, and applications APIs (Python and Node.js, Go on request)
• Webhook receiver template + replay tool for missed events
• Automated test suite (pytest / vitest) covering happy path and 4xx/5xx branches
• Compliance guidance: Ag Data Transparent principles, NDA, DPA template

Engagement workflow

1. Scope confirmation: which Harvest Profit modules (P&L, grain, inputs, applications, landowner) and what destination system.
2. Protocol analysis & API design (2–5 business days).
3. Build & internal validation (3–8 business days).
4. Docs, sample requests, and test cases (1–2 business days).
5. Typical first delivery: 5–15 business days; deeper webhook or multi-entity work may extend the timeline.

Recent context

In 2024 Harvest Profit publicly committed to expanding grain inventory tracking by entity and landlord, deepening the multi-entity story that already differentiates the Pro plan. The 2025 USDA × Palantir National Farm Security Action Plan also reshaped the conversation about who can move farm data and under what controls. Our delivery defaults reflect both shifts: scoped consent, full audit logs, and explicit retention windows on every integration we ship.
