GeoFarmer crop monitoring platform selected by WWJ Agri to guide crop damage assessment surveys

Crop insurance is an integral part of agricultural production to mitigate risk for farmers in the event of crop loss or damage. The assessment of claims for crop damage requires accurate and reliable surveys within the agricultural field to determine the level of yield loss. The effect of events such as hail is mostly unevenly distributed across a field and similarly, the result of climatic factors such as drought shows a gradient within a field.

The functionality in the GeoFarmer platform to select scouting points according to leaf canopy cover provides the ideal tool to place coordinates and navigate to representative points for assessment within the field. WWJ Agri, a company specialising in the assessment of crop insurance claims, have selected GeoFarmer to perform this operation and generate scouting points for their surveys. The information will be streamed directly into the WWJ Agri survey system to guide field surveys and capture information on crop damage.

The GeoFarmer Platform performs crop monitoring during the entire crop-growing season with crop indicators derived from satellite imagery, in support of precision farming management.
