Different crops/geographies have different opportunities
Finding the source of incremental value / agronomic challenge is key

Our approach in Digital Farming is to demonstrate
value to each farm by measuring concrete outcomes
1. Connecting digital farming ecosystems
2. Demonstrate value on-farm with data

Strategy - how many sprays
Timing - when to spray
Field specific risk insights
Scripting map - how to
distribute varying dose in
a field
● Data and insights are now being linked into
actionable advice with measurable
“outcome” for each field
● Incremental outcome is measured against
current practice and broad expectations on
various agricultural systems (i.e., return-
on-investment/yield, crop quality, carbon
footprint)
● Some outcomes are not experienced
consistently yet in every field, every year
● Broad focus on technology discovery rather
than testing and measuring outcomes
● Single input solutions that do not take into
account all the system interactions

• ~8 bu/acre1 more yield when hybrid information
is considered as part of the over-all decision
making to use fungicides2
• 15-20% of U.S.A. corn growers use a fungicide3
• SOLUTION: Offer outcome-based pricing at
defined bu/ac threshold using Climate
FieldView; share the risk if predicted outcome is
not achieved
• Applications that visualize, analyze and recommend
• Driven by data
$1,000 subscription + $300 hardware
• Data Visualization and Storage
