Crop Statistics

Product Definition

Crop Statistics is regional based and encompasses different levels of information products to serve the commodity market. Product level I includes the followings:

  • Crop Identification: An EMS proprietary algorithm, in conjunction with the appropriate imagery source, is used to identify crops and cropping systems with limited or no ground truth. Today we have methods for identifying cotton, corn and soybeans.
  • Crop Acreage Assessments. EMS proprietary processing methods allow the crop identification algorithm to be extended to estimate crop acreage on local and regional bases. These unique capabilities are required for commodity traders and the RMA to accurately monitor and verify planted acres.
Product level II includes the following:
  • Crop Condition Assessment. EMS analytical methods and AgroWatch information products can be used to identify and map regional variation within a specific crop or cropping system. This provides an in-season measure of plant heath and productivity and is especially valuable for fraud detection. Product level III includes the following:
    • Production Estimates: EarthMap Solutions proprietary corn, soybean and cotton yield models based on remotely sensed imagery are used to estimate yields and production at regional scale.
