About Clevis
Every other ag tool answers to someone. Ours answers to you.
Seed companies, equipment dealers, and grain buyers all build software to sell you their products. Clevis takes no vendor money and sells no data. The intelligence isn't a generic model tuned in a coastal office — it's built around real corn, soybean, and wheat ground, by people who farm it, with one job: a stronger bottom line for your operation.

The founder
Built by someone who's walked the fields.
Preston Schrader spent 20+ years inside the ag industry as a crop scientist and independent consultant before founding Clevis. The company exists because of a simple observation: every tool a farmer gets handed is built to sell them something — and the advice bends accordingly.
Clevis is the tool he wanted to hand his own customers: one place for the agronomy, the marketing, and the books, with advice that answers to the farmer paying for it.
