DTN (MyDTN): Grain marketing: MyDTN provides local cash-bid database, commodity/cash prices, price alerts and DTN analyst recommendations for futures and cash marketing; DTN Ag Marketplace (free iOS app) lets producers receive/confirm offers from buyers, track inventory, set target/break-even prices and view nearby bids; ProphetX adds 20-year cash-bid history, charting and futures data. Weather: hourly local forecasts and observations (vendor core strength). Agronomy: Wikipedia notes Adapt-N-based nitrogen tools in MyDTN; vendor producer page describes weather-timed spraying/irrigation/harvest only. Elevator/buyer integrations: DTN Grain Portal (web and mobile) and Grain Discovery (acquired 2025) are sold to grain buyers, who give growers branded apps for bids, offers and e-signed contracts; Grain Portal connects to FCMs for hedging. Mobile: MyDTN is mobile-responsive (no dedicated MyDTN app described); DTN Grain Portal Mobile and DTN Ag Marketplace are App Store apps; ProphetX has a mobile app.
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.

| Founded | 1984 | 2013 |
| Status | Active. MyDTN remains the producer-facing subscription; farmer-facing grain transaction tools are shifting toward the Grain Discovery grower portal (acquired 2025) within DTN Ag Hub, which DTN plans to integrate with Grain Intelligence during 2026. The DTN Grain Portal iOS app has not been updated since v1.0.1 (2022-02-08). Variants treated as one row: MyDTN, DTN Ag Marketplace, DTN Grain Portal/Grain Discovery, ProphetX. | 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. |
