    Industry Overview

    Satellite-Driven Yield Prediction: Engineered End-to-End

    Modern farming runs on data that's accurate down to a 10-meter pixel. We build platforms that turn satellite, drone, and ground sensor signals into the variable-rate maps and yield forecasts that drive real input savings.

    Industry Challenges

    What Stops Most Teams From Solving This Today

    Common friction points we hear from agriculture teams scoping this kind of platform.

    • Generic Recommendations: Field-average advice ignores micro-variability that drives yield.

    • Data Latency: Imagery from a week ago is too late to react to drought, pest, or disease pressure.

    • Tooling Sprawl: Growers run three apps for the same field — none of which talk to each other.

    • Connectivity Gaps: Rural connectivity demands offline-first apps and edge analytics.

    Our Approach

    Our Engineering Approach

    We engineer for the operational reality — not the demo.

    Multi-Source Fusion

    Sentinel, Planet, drone, and ground-sensor data unified into one field-of-truth model.

    Variable-Rate Maps

    Output ready for John Deere, AGCO, and CNH equipment file formats.

    Offline-First Apps

    Field apps run without connectivity, syncing automatically when back at the base.

    Capabilities

    Capabilities

    Production-grade features the platform ships with from day one.

    Satellite & Drone Ingestion

    Sentinel, Planet, Maxar, and drone imagery normalized into one stack.

    Field Health Indices

    NDVI, NDWI, EVI, and custom indices computed at field-grade resolution.

    Yield Forecasting

    Crop-specific models forecast yield through the season with confidence bounds.

    Variable-Rate Maps

    Application maps for fertilizer, seed, and crop protection ready for equipment.

    Soil Moisture Modeling

    Satellite-derived moisture combined with weather forecasts for irrigation planning.

    Pest & Disease Alerts

    Spectral and weather signals combined with crop-stage models for early alerts.

    Offline Mobile App

    Field-grade mobile app for scouting, sampling, and observation logging.

    Equipment File Export

    Export to John Deere, AGCO, CNH, and ISOBUS formats.

    Large-Scale Row Crop Operation

    A multi-state row crop operation needed field-level visibility on yield drivers and a way to prescribe variable rates for fertilizer and seed.

    Within two seasons the platform delivered 15% lower input costs and a 10% yield uplift across 90,000 acres — a payback measured in weeks, not seasons.

    No. Free Sentinel-2 imagery covers most use cases. We layer in higher-resolution Planet or Maxar imagery only where it earns its keep.
