AgReliant collaboration provides access to weather data

A seed company and a weather prediction company are coming together to give farmers access to vitally important weather information.

Noah Freeman, precision ag technologies manager for AgReliant Genetics says weather directly impacts every element of a farmer’s business and the collaboration between AgReliant Genetics and Weather Trends International will give farmers access to the information they need.  “By going through the Weather Trends 360 website farmers can log into a portal and get their premium 11 month-out forecast that has 84 percent accuracy,” he says.

He tells Brownfield enhanced weather information will also be available through Advantage Acre, AgReliant Genetics’ precision agriculture platform, which is set to launch yet this year.

Freeman says when it comes to crop production – weather is one of the most important factors.  “We always say if I could know the weather I could really make better plans,” he says.  “I could plan my seed planting better.  I could pick my varieties and hybrids better.  I could plant my fertility better.  Now, with this tool, we can have a better idea of what’s going to be happening in the next 11 months and even the next 3 months in our cropping season.

Freeman says this is available to AgReliant customers now.  A link to more information can be found HERE.
