SOFTWARE · FIELD SYSTEMS · USEFUL EXPERIMENTS

Farming doesn't need more software theatre.

It needs tools that understand the difference between a tidy diagram and a real day in the field.

01

Grounded in actual work

Every workflow starts with what happens on farms every day—not what looks impressive in a demo. The entire system is built from real-life experiences: early in the morning, late into the night, in the heat, in the cold, in the cab, and at the desk. If you think something could be made smoother and easier, we want to hear about it.

02

Clarity before complexity

Good records should eliminate uncertainty. You can trust what Gracey tells you—whether it's 5:30 a.m. in May, 1:15 a.m. in September, or beer-thirty in Mazatlán.

03

Built to earn trust

Responsive, intuitive, and deliberate. The small details matter when the day is already demanding.

04

Your data is yours—and only yours

You have our solemn word that your data is yours and yours only. It is held on highly secured infrastructure, using security practices informed by those expected in financial services. Each farm's data is strictly isolated from every other customer's data—it is never mixed or blended with another user's records. We have no affiliations with seeding providers, chemical companies, equipment companies, or financiers. Our customer agreement legally binds us never to sell your data or use it for any purpose you have not expressly approved. An approved representative of your farm must give KJ Labs permission before anyone here can look into your back of house, whether for product development, quality control, or troubleshooting.

05

Protected through the unexpected

Our standard is encrypted, geographically separated backups, rigorously tested recovery procedures, and infrastructure selected for exceptional availability. An outage in the middle of seeding or harvest is every bit as unacceptable to us as it is to you. We know your data is valuable, so we build around strong security and multi-site redundancy—so an earthquake in California, a wildfire in Alberta, or a thunderstorm in Saskatoon will never leave you in the lurch.

The discipline of a surgeon.
The soul of a farm boy.

This project was born from an identified need for an intuitive, reliable, and accurate system to keep today's farms organized, optimized, and running smoothly. One lost piece of paper on a modern farm can easily cost thousands—or even tens of thousands—and I've never met anyone who finds that acceptable.

From planning the first field of the growing season until the last kernel has been sold, we aim to help with every step along the way. The goal is to make your life easier through precise data gathering, storage, and reporting—whether that's for your agronomist, insurance broker, or banker, and whether you're in the office, in the service truck, at the rink, or on the beach in Cancún.

I've had a very unusual path in life, but at every step my heart has been in the right place. Here I offer you my best version of the techiness of a nerd, the discipline of a surgeon, and the soul of a farm boy. I hope you enjoy it.

P.S. If you don't enjoy it, I'll fix it—and keep fixing it—until you do.

One location to answer all the questions you have throughout the day.

A farming season begins with planning at the kitchen table and ends when the last kernel of grain falls into the pit at the terminal. Gracey is designed to keep everything in order so that your longest, hardest days are smoother and easier.

A wide set of problems.
One standard of care.

Gracey is the flagship, but the work now reaches across field routing, harvest coordination, mixed-fleet interoperability, truck and trailer controls, equipment safety, aerial records, grain conditioning, farm-gate trade, marine systems, and tools for valuable personal collections.

Some are live. Some are private or local working prototypes. Others remain engineering or research concepts. We make that distinction honestly.

LIVE PRODUCT · V96201
Graceyby KJ Labs

The connected farm record.

The current farm operating record connects planning, field work, input costs, harvest, machine-aware operations, grain storage, sales, livestock, and reporting from the first plan to the last settled load.
PRIVATE PROTOTYPE02
Tracks Teamsby KJ Labs

Routes become a coordinated field plan.

A separate private practice environment for assigning equipment teams, modeling field work, and testing truck travel, unloading, discharge, return cycles, capacities, and delay reasons.
LOCAL WORKING PROTOTYPE03
SASby KJ Labs

Plan the whole harvest—not one machine at a time.

A situational-awareness and harvest-planning system for combines, carts, trucks, fields, destinations, capacities, partial loads, road limits, fuel, labour, and explicit causes of delay. SASH remains a naming idea, not a rename.
PLANNING & RESEARCH04
OneBridgeby KJ Labs

Mixed fleets. One operational picture.

A proposed farmer-controlled coordination layer for mixed-brand machinery: shared locations, field progress, grain movement, machine state, calibrated unloading assistance, traceable records, and clear limits on what each machine can actually provide.
FIELD APP05
RockPathby KJ Labs

Find the rock. Clear the path. Keep the record.

Map field rocks, plan efficient pickup routes, record what was moved, and preserve the location history needed to keep future operators and equipment out of harm's way.
IN DEVELOPMENT06
Tracksby KJ Labs

Field routes, seen differently.

Optimize your plan of attack for field work—making the best use of your day, your fuel, your fertilizer, and your seed.
CONTROL SYSTEM07
C³by KJ Labs

Your truck, one clear command centre.

Control tarps, chutes, gates, hoists, and work lights from one mobile interface, with movement-, weather-, and safety-aware warnings.
MECHANICAL DEVELOPMENT08
Clamshell Gateby KJ Labs

Precise flow. Fast closure. Complete cleanout.

A stainless-steel, electrically operated, bolt-on grain-trailer gate built around two opposing quarter-cylinder doors, centred discharge, fine flow control, corrosion resistance, and a sub-one-second emergency-closure design target.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT09
FlowCheckby KJ Labs

Know when product stops moving.

A retrofit monitor for grain belts and augers that detects slippage, stalls, abnormal operation, and failures, with local alarms, a rolling event record, and Bluetooth connectivity under consideration.
SAFETY SYSTEM CONCEPT10
TowCheckby KJ Labs

Make sure it is ready to tow.

A companion safety system for self-propelled augers and conveyors that independently checks wheel-drive disengagement and actual tow-vehicle coupling across clevis, ball, and pintle arrangements.
PRIVATE BETA11
Cellarby KJ Labs

Know what you own—and what it is worth.

A private collection ledger for recording, organizing, valuing, and securely photographing bottles and other collectible assets.
EARLY CONCEPT12
DroneLogby KJ Labs

Flight records that stay attached to the work.

A developing home for drone activity, field observations, media, operators, and the records required to understand each flight.
WORKING PROTOTYPE13
Marisby KJ Labs

A smarter canopy that watches the weather.

Remote boat-lift canopy control with wind, rain, wet-fabric, lighting, and safety-aware protection built into the experience.
DECISION SUPPORT14
GrainAirby KJ Labs

Know what the air can do.

Weather-based grain drying and cooling-window guidance that makes its assumptions, limits, and safety boundaries clear.
TRANSACTION SYSTEM CONCEPT15
Grain Exchangeby KJ Labs

Farm-gate terms, traceable from offer to payment.

A farmer-governed grain supply network centred on buyer requirements, multi-farm fulfilment, net-to-farm comparisons, witnessed sample custody, documented pickup, balanced contracts, settlement, and buyer performance.
PARTS MARKETPLACE16
RTRby KJ Labs

Find the part that keeps you working.

Connect equipment owners looking for hard-to-find parts with parts suppliers and independent repair providers.
MODELING TOOL CONCEPT17
FieldValueby KJ Labs

Know what your acres are worth.

Model the gains available from field improvements such as brush clearing, land levelling, water management, and other changes that can turn difficult acres into productive ones.
WORKING PROTOTYPE18
Card Optimizerby KJ Labs

Know what the payment method really costs.

Compare invoice terms, supplier card costs, surcharges, rewards, and payment timing so a business can see when paying by card creates value—and when it does not.
