This sets up IBM to compete directly with Monsanto's new Climate Corp in the ag-tech space. My hopes is that this drives the entry price of this tech down so it can actually benefit small farmers (who may have higher margins due to crop choice but lower profits due to size and economies of scale) and not just larger agribusiness operating on economies of size.
A question: how has the accuracy of weather prediction improved overall?
- sampo 11y ago> A question: how has the accuracy of weather prediction improved overall? Here is a recent New York Times article on that topic, with emphasis on hurricane prediction: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/03/upshot/hurricane-joaquin-forecast-european-model-leads-pack-again.html http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/03/upshot/hurricane-joaquin-f... "Over the last few decades, faster computers, superior models and new data have allowed all weather forecasting to improve, by a lot. But the United States hasn’t quite matched that effort. It didn’t invest in computing power and models that kept up with the potential for better forecasts."
