We measure performance where it counts — on working farms. While results vary by state, season, and weather, in 2023 and 2024 our biologicals delivered consistent yield gains over untreated seed in multiple crops and regions. In 2025, we’re expanding to 14 states, testing more genetics and delivery methods, and refining our blend for even better results.

Earnest Agriculture was founded by Eddy Mejia, a U.S. Army veteran and entrepreneur, and Dr. Gabe Price, a microbial ecologist who's spent the last decade studying how microbes help crops thrive.
We're bringing prairie-born biology to farmers — starting with seed coatings and expanding into planter box treatments — to help you grow stronger crops with fewer inputs.
We'll run Earnest side-by-side with your current program, so you see exactly how it performs — your soil, your weather, your yields.
Drone flight & farm analysis
Comprehensive aerial analysis of your farm with detailed reporting for first-year farmers.
Seed treating
Professional application of Earnest biologicals to your seed at no additional cost.
Direct comparison against current program
Direct comparison of your current program vs. Earnest biologicals with detailed yield data.
No equipment changes. No complicated programs. Just better performance from the start.
Step 1
We treat your seed
(or provide a planter box treatment you apply yourself)
Step 2
You plant as normal
No equipment changes or complicated procedures
Step 3
We track and share results
Complete performance analysis delivered to you
More in your pocket
Outperforms top biologicals and competes with chemicals
Easy fit
Works with your seed, genetics, and existing treatments
Simplified farming
Replaces multiple inputs with one proven biological solution
Backed by science
Over a decade of research, tested in real farming conditions
“Eddy and Gabe[Earnest Ag] have been great to work with. They have done what they said they would do and are just easy to get along with…”
