Meet the Minnesota company pulling petabytes of data from the field
- jqm 13y agoThere was an interesting article on this subject in WSJ a month or so ago... http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304450904579369283869192124 http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230445090... Apparently, unlike the average Facebook user, farmers are very aware of the implications of forking over their data to third parties.
- x0x0 13y agoof course, when it's monsanto pushing it, it's pretty clear whose interests this data collection will serve
- at-fates-hands 13y agoI saw the documentary about Monsanto, pretty crazy what these farmers are going through. It's already tough enough just being a farmer, then you have to deal with those people? No thanks.

- brentj 13y agoCool company. The story doesn't mention it but the company does all the UAV flights to collect this data for the farmer in order to perform the analysis.
- ashbrahma 13y agoAnother company that is in the same space: http://www.farmlink.com/true-harvest.html http://www.farmlink.com/true-harvest.html They provide benchmarking data for farmers to understand how their yield compares to other farmers.
