Growers have mapped more than 75 million acres, announces the Climate Corporation.  This number represents nearly 45% of all corn and soybean acres planted in the US.  The company’s digital agriculture platform includes Climate Basic™, Climate Pro™ and FieldView® from Precision Planting.  Their premium web and mobile products have also grown considerably, from 1 million to 5 million in the last year.

The combination of tools provide one account with many offerings.  A grower can log in on a tablet from his tractor, on a mobile phone from the fields, or on his desktop computer.

“The interest we’ve seen from farmers this year in our digital platform reinforces the impact these tools ultimately can have on our industry,” said Mike Stern, President and Chief Operating Officer for The Climate Corporation. “We want to be the digital platform of choice for farmers, and our growth this year is evidence that we’re well on that path,” said Stern.

A farmer from Minnesota has experienced the digital platform firsthand.  “I have been using FieldView from Precision Planting on my farm for three years, and Climate Pro for two years, and I can’t even count the numerous insights these two products have brought to my operation,” said Tim Malterer. “We have had great success using the Nitrogen Advisor in Climate Pro so far and are excited to utilize it to better manage how much nitrogen we need on a field-by-field basis. I am very excited as we move forward to see what new insights this unique technology will bring to my farm, and to watch it adapt and grow as my operation grows.”

Backed by the most powerful data science engine and extensive field trial network in the agriculture industry, the Climate Technology Platform™ combines data science with field science to feed and validate the predictive models that power the tools offered through the company’s digital ag platform. This season, The Climate Corporation has field experiments on more than 25,000 acres in 17 states across the U.S., including four Climate Research Farms across key corn growing states.

“As we continue to expand the extensive data and field science engine that powers our digital tools, we see tremendous potential for this platform to grow, providing additional solutions for farmers that help them increase production and use resources more efficiently,” Stern added.
