Built for drone manufacturers and designed for farmers, the platform is being developed to address a growing crisis where drone data is locked in closed Chinese systems and U.S. operators are left with few viable options.

A national survey launched to gather insight from farmers who plant cover crops, as well as farmers who don't.

For the second year, a national survey of farmers has documented a yield boost from the use of cover crops in corn and soybeans, as well as a wide variety of other benefits. The survey also details the challenges and benefits farmers expect from cover crops, data on the costs of seed and establishment, and insight into how farmers learn to manage covers.
