Data Collection & Analysis

Following the Farm Production Assessment, we analyze the data to create a plan specific to each grower’s farm. Data is collected using a rigorously controlled scientific strategy to examine every field.

Ultimate Yield customers receive access to an extensive seed testing package to determine accurate seeding rates and seed treatment recommendations.

NDVI satellite imagery is used to predict a field’s potential. Our team ground truths NDVI imagery by visually inspecting fields to verify physical characteristics and systematically collecting tissue and soil samples in representative locations. Nutrient levels are analyzed for deficiencies based on crop type and plant state.

From this information fertility management plans are developed for each field and zone based on target yields, taking into consideration variables such as the type of equipment and type of fertilizer. Based on realistic target yields, recommendations are calculated and recorded in our agronomy software.
