What is SAM?

Meet SAM: Your Farm Intelligence Assistant

SAM (Smart Agricultural Machine) is BX’s new farm intelligence assistant — designed to help you unlock the insights in your farm data. Whether you’re exploring performance, improving sustainability, or planning your next environmental move, SAM is here to guide you every step of the way.

What Is SAM?

SAM is your helpful farm intelligence assistant. Built right into the BX platform, SAM gives you clear, actionable insights using the data you’ve already shared. Whether you’re trying to reduce emissions, increase yield, or simply make sense of a complex dataset, SAM helps you move forward with confidence.

You can talk directly to SAM to explore your existing data, learn more about what else you could upload to get richer insights, and learn more about how you could improve your environmental performance.

Your Data. Your Control.

Your data is yours. Only you can see the insights based on your data, and your version of SAM only sees what you tell it. No one else has access to your information, and SAM doesn’t share it with anyone else using the platform.

What SAM Can Do

SAM supports 7 core areas (and growing) of farm intelligence — helping you analyse, compare, simulate, and improve different aspects of your farm operations. Here’s a look at some of the key tools and flows SAM can guide you through:

🌱 Carbon Footprinting

Understand and improve the carbon footprint of your crops from farm to retailer. SAM helps you view breakdowns, spot hotspots, and identify the most impactful changes you can make.

🌾 Yield Insights

Explore how your yields vary by field, crop, and year. SAM helps you dig into trends, outliers, and potential causes, so you can optimise for future seasons.

📍 Field Overview & Insights

Get a snapshot of what’s happening on each field — from current crop to historical trends. Whether you’re checking in on progress or looking for performance patterns, SAM gives you a clean, organised view.

💰 Credits Calculator

Estimate the potential revenue you could earn from soil carbon credits. SAM makes it easy to see which practices qualify and how much value you could unlock.

🧭 Farm and Enterprise Overview & Insights

Zoom out to see how your whole farm is performing. SAM highlights strengths, areas for improvement, and how you compare to others in the industry, nationally and globally.

🔗 Data Integrations

Struggling to upload or sync your data? SAM can help connect directly to tools you already use, so everything flows into BX smoothly.

📊 BX Score

Get a single score that shows how your farm stacks up on sustainability across biodiversity, carbon, soil, waste and energy. SAM explains what’s driving your score — and how to improve it.

When To Use SAM

If you’re ever unsure where to begin, SAM is your best starting point. Whether it’s your first time using BX or you’ve been here for years, SAM helps interpret your intent and steer you in the right direction. You can ask things like:

  • Why is my yield lower this year?
  • What practices can I implement next year?
  • What can I do to boost my soil organic carbon?
  • Which field performed best last year and why?
