DTN Alternative for Grower Contact Data

Why teams look for an alternative

DTN and Farm Market iD are excellent products. The pricing is the issue. Enterprise contracts typically run $50K to $150K per year, structured around the assumption that you need permanent grower data infrastructure with a platform layer on top.

Most mid-market ag companies don't need that. They need a list. They need it segmented by crop and acreage. They need verified contacts. They want to pay for what they use.

What FieldWork offers instead

FieldWork is a managed data service, not a platform. You describe your target ag market. We build a USDA-verified list from FSA records, USDA Organic Integrity, and 30+ ag-specific sources, and deliver it as a CSV. Every operation is USDA-verified. Every email is deliverability-tested. Every record is classified by operation type, primary crop, and acreage tier.

Pricing is $0.50 to $1.50 per record. No annual contract. No seat licenses. A typical engagement runs $500 to $5,000 depending on list size and complexity.

What FieldWork doesn't do

We're not a platform. We don't offer integrated weather data, market intelligence, or workflow automation. If you need those features, keep DTN. Use FieldWork for the grower contact data, and run your campaigns through whatever platform you already use.

When FieldWork is the right fit

If your ag data budget is under $25K per year. If you need decision-maker contacts segmented by crop and operation type. If you want accurate data without an enterprise platform contract. If you'd rather spend your budget on data quality than platform access.
