Farminsights — Tom
: A dedicated section for reporting "problem tests" or instances where handling facilities were unsafe for testing.
TOM is an acronym for . It serves as the primary "back-office" engine for veterinary professionals involved in government-funded TB testing. The platform is designed to replace paper-heavy workflows with a secure, cloud-based environment that ensures data accuracy and regulatory compliance.

“I’m not a tech guy,” Tom says. “I’m a farmer who got tired of guessing. FarmInsights lets me sleep better at night because I know where every dollar is going.” : A dedicated section for reporting "problem tests"
: Syncs directly with SAM (the APHA's TB management system) and CTS (Cattle Tracing System) to pull up-to-date animal lists. The platform is designed to replace paper-heavy workflows
At a FarmInsights user group meeting, Tom shared a custom dashboard he built for irrigation triggers. A regional manager posted a screenshot with the caption: “Tom from FarmInsights strikes again.” The name “FarmInsights Tom” stuck. Now he hosts monthly “Coffee & Corn” Zoom calls for 200+ farmers, translating algorithms into action.
Historically, the farm relied on Tom’s generational knowledge—weather patterns stored in memory and soil conditions assessed by hand. However, climate volatility and margin compression made this model unsustainable.
