Indigo Ag: Inputs: Indigo sells biotrinsic biological seed treatments (14 US products per vendor; e.g., Nemora FP bionematicide for SCN launching spring 2026) and the CLIPS on-planter application device, distributed through partners such as GROWMARK. Carbon: farmers enroll fields online at app.indigoag.com, enter field boundaries and 4+ years of crop/practice history, and receive 75% of net credit revenue on a five-year payment schedule (up to 20% of credits held in a buffer pool, unpaid); vendor cites up to $80 per credit for new 2025 sales as an estimate, not a guarantee; available across the continental US for 18 crops. Grain marketing: Indigo exited grain buying in March 2022 (The Andersons took over legacy contracts) and repositioned Market+ as merchandising software for grain buyers (bids, contracts, auto-hedge, branded storefront); no farmer-facing marketplace page exists on indigoag.com today. Buyer integrations: Carbon by Indigo works with 40+ agribusinesses and Source by Indigo (sustainable sourcing for food companies) was spun into Terion in June 2026. Mobile: enrollment and account management run through the web app at app.indigoag.com; no dedicated farmer mobile app described.
Taranis: Taranis flies drone 'missions' (service plans of 4-6 missions/season) producing leaf-level detections of stand count, weeds, insects, disease and nutrient deficiency; broadacre satellite monitoring with weather/precipitation layers. Ag Assistant is a generative-AI tool producing zone-level agronomy recommendations and season summaries. Yield Impact (May 2026) estimates bu/ac yield loss per detected threat on enrolled corn acres. Input relevance is via recommendations sold alongside retailers' crop-protection portfolios (Syngenta partnership), not an input marketplace. iOS/Android app plus web dashboard.

| Your data | Indigo's Carbon grower-information page states 'Information about your farm is yours' and that grower information 'will never be shared by Indigo with another organization, without the grower's consent'; the general privacy policy adds that Indigo 'has not sold consumer personal data of California residents in the last twelve months' but 'may sell, transfer, or otherwise disclose our database of Personal Data to an actual or potential successor entity.' | Taranis grower page says customer data is protected by a 'multi-tiered security model'; a privacy/data-ownership policy was not retrievable this session, so ownership and sharing terms are not published here. |
| Crops and regions | Carbon program: continental US, 18 crops (vendor). Biologicals: row crops incl. corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, rice; sold in US and internationally (Turkey, Mexico, India, Brazil, Germany). | Corn and soybeans, US Midwest focus; Yield Impact corn-only for 2026 with soybeans planned 2027 |

| What else they sell | Seed / chemical co. — part of input/seed-chem company (Indigo sells biological crop inputs and sustainability/carbon programs; it is not an equipment maker, grain buyer or retailer, and exited grain buying in 2022) | Farm software co. — farm-software-only company |
| Headquarters | Boston, MA (US) | Westfield/Carmel, IN (US) |
| Built and supported | US-built (Boston HQ; operations in 14 countries incl. India JV Grow Indigo, Brazil, Europe); US support phone 844-828-0240 | Founded in Israel (R&D in Tel Aviv); US HQ and sales in Indiana; full-service drone data capture in US Midwest |
| Founded | 2013 | 2015 |
| Status | Company active, but the farmer-facing grain marketplace is effectively gone: Indigo stopped buying grain in March 2022, no Market+ or Marketplace product page appears on indigoag.com (the /marketplace and /marketplus URLs resolve to the Sustainability Solutions page), and the most recent vendor news item about Market+ is from 2021. A third-party directory listing for 'Market+ Merchandise' (grain-buyer merchandising software) remained live as of March 2026, so Market+ may persist as buyer-side software; Indigo has not published a formal discontinuation notice (unverified). The Source sustainable-sourcing business left Indigo for Terion in June 2026. Today Indigo sells farmers carbon-program enrollment and biological inputs. | Active. Go-to-market is retailer/advisor-first: vendor says it sells 'through agricultural retailers and advisors' with 100+ retail/advisor partners, and grower page directs farmers to 'FIND YOUR ADVISOR'; no direct-to-farmer purchase path or price is published, so a US farmer typically accesses Taranis via a participating retailer. |
