Climate Corporation to launch integrated platform for 2016 season

The Climate Corporation recently shared its plans to launch a newly integrated platform that will bring existing product offerings into one seamless platform.

A division of the Monsanto Company, Climate Corporation said at last week's Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois that its existing suite of digital tools will become the Climate FieldView digital platform, and the company will launch new functionality for the 2016 season to further support data-driven decision making on the farm.

The new integrated platform will build on its digital agriculture foundation with a new option for seamlessly connecting field data to the cloud.

It will include three-tiered product offerings to help farmers optimize resources and maximize yield. The offerings include: Climate FieldView Plus, which operates with the new climate FieldView Drive, a device that helps farmers easily transfer their data from the field to the cloud; Climate FieldView Prime, which will offer field-level weather, scouting tools and notifications to promote timely decision making; and Climate FieldView Pro, the company's premium offering that provides field-level agronomic insights driven by data science.

"For farmers, time and knowledge are the most valuable inputs," Mike Stern, president and chief operating officer for Climate Corporation, said. "The new Climate FieldView digital platform combines farmers' field data with real-time and historic soil, crop and weather data to help them efficiently manage their operations and gain deeper insights about their fields."
