Crop marketers, buyers, and sellers can now take advantage of remote-sensing technology through Planalytics Life Sciences' crop yield forecasts.

By using digital satellite imagery instead of sampling techniques, crop yield models are more accurate than ever before and can be tailored to show regional yields down to Crop Reporting Districts and counties. Available 30 days before USDA estimates, our yield forecasts are the result of two years of research and development by our partner, TerraMetrics Agriculture, Inc.
