Why CCAs choose Nitrogen Intelligence

Prove compliance

EU audits are coming. Your farmers need documented nitrogen management. With sensor data plus your recommendations, they pass audits. You have proof. No guessing. No penalties.

  • Subsidy penalties avoided
  • EU Nitrates Directive-aligned approach
  • Cost-share program documentation
  • Audit-ready reports in minutes
Learn the compliance value

Protect farmer margins

Many farmers waste €15–30k a year on nitrogen. You can fix it. Sensor-based management cuts nitrogen use 10–15% without sacrificing yield — and advisors bill €30–50/ha for monitoring and recommendations.

  • Meaningful annual savings at farm scale
  • Competitive advantage vs. other advisors
  • Recurring revenue, year after year
  • Farmer loyalty through data-backed advice

The problem: nitrogen blindness

You know your farmers are wasting money on nitrogen. You suspect they're over-applying in some fields, under-applying in others. But you can't prove it. You can't show them the data.

So they keep doing what they've always done — the same costly, risky approach.

  • They're not hitting yield potential
  • They're leaching nitrogen into groundwater
  • Regulators are getting stricter
  • They're losing money year after year

And you can't differentiate yourself from other advisors because you don't have proof of better results. This is nitrogen blindness — and it's costing your farmers thousands.

  • €500k+ revenue
  • 50%+ margin
  • €250k+ annual profit

Cooperatives and referrals, hybrid pricing, proven track record

Three ways advisors charge

Flat monitoring fee

€35/ha/year

Best for year 1 and new clients. Low risk for the farmer while you build credibility.

Commission on savings

20% of savings

Aligned incentives: you only earn if you deliver savings. High trust, best with strong data.

Hybrid (recommended)
