For dairy farmers
Your farm runs on data. Now it can run on intelligence.
Spade gives dairy producers a live command center — connecting herd, feed, financials, and processor data into one clear picture. And because great intelligence is only the beginning, we've partnered with the right people to bring financing and animal monitoring to the same table.
Start with clarity. Build from there.

The status quo
Too many systems.
Not enough answers.
We talk to farmers every week. The same themes come up every time — and none of them are really about the dairy itself. They're about everything around it.
01
Herd software, feed records, milk checks, bank statements — all separate, none talking to each other. Getting a clear picture means pulling it together yourself, every time.
02
By the time you've compiled a monthly P&L, the month is already over. Decisions get made on gut, not data.
03
Every advisor visit starts with 20 minutes of you explaining what's going on instead of solving problems.
04
A good opportunity shows up and financing takes weeks. By the time the paperwork clears, the window has closed.
05
Running more than one location means double the chaos. Rolling up performance across sites shouldn't require a PhD.
01
It's about everything around it — and that's exactly what Spade is built to clear up.
How it fits together
A strong foundation. Not a promise to do everything.
The farms that get the most out of Spade aren't looking for a silver bullet — they're looking for a place where the data they already have starts working harder. That's what we've built.
Spade Farm
Connect your existing systems — herd, feed, processor, financials — and get a live view of what's actually happening. Income over feed cost, margin per cow, breakeven price. From real data, not estimates.
