Climate Corporation, Precision Planting Offer Smart Technology for Farmers

The Climate Corporation will next month offer to farmers a service that integrates its decision support tools, Climate Basic and Climate Pro (pictured), with Precision Planting’s hardware and software products to better optimize production.

In addition to a unified account and data service, promotional offers of Climate and Precision Planting products and services will help growers drive more yield from their field through better monitoring, insights and control of production decisions, the companies say.

The promotional offers will be available starting Feb. 3, through Precision Planting dealers and Climate Pro partners.

The service is “just the first step” in the company’s effort to increase agricultural productivity and profits through smart technology, says David Friedberg, Climate Corporation CEO. It will allow farmers to:

• Make minute-by-minute and daily decisions based on real-time, accurate weather, soil, crop and equipment performance that’s at their fingertips.
• Respond quickly and correctly to changing weather and field conditions.
• Anticipate yield-reducing agronomic issues.
• Seamlessly integrate data and access it across multiple devices, equipment and operation.
• Automatically integrate equipment, soil, weather, crop, agronomic practices, field boundaries, as-planted dates, as-harvested dates as well as report summaries for FSA or crop insurance reporting.
