What Is Root Cause?
Root Cause is an AI-powered weekly summary of your field-by-field crop health data. It delivers instant, actionable insights without you or your agronomist having to dig through layers of information or walk every inch of every field.
Instead of manually sorting through soil types, product statistics, weather data, imagery, and yield trends one field at a time, the Root Cause Report pulls everything together automatically. Once you map your fields and enter products and planting dates, a clean, simple summary will be sent to your Golden Harvest seed advisor each week during the growing season. You can access your reports any time via GHX® Fields or the GHX Mobile app.
The Root Cause Report highlights what's changing, what's concerning, and what needs attention — so you and your team can act faster, stay ahead of issues, and make better management decisions
The Three-Step Process:
1. Data Is Collected Automatically
Map your fields in GHX Fields and enter products and planting dates. After that’s done, the system continuously gathers data including rainfall since planting, predicted growth stages, wind events, disease-risk models, and more.
2. AI Generates Your Summary

3. Your Team Receives the Report
Every Monday morning during the growing season, Root Cause Reports automatically arrive in your Golden Harvest seller’s inbox. You can also access your reports any time via GHX Fields or the GHX Mobile app.
Each report includes:
- A summary overview of your operation
- A prioritized list of key concerns across all fields
- Actionable next steps
