Knowing the details means knowing the risk.
Preplanting Radar provides highly specific, quantitative risk analysis of soil characteristics, to more accurately inform ceding decisions. Our geographically-specific data provides a sound basis for assessment of relative drought/excess moisture risk, and our data sets include water holding capacity and water availability at multiple depths to better identify pre-planting risks. This risk assessment is based on our proprietary 1.3B samples of yield, carefully collected across millions of acres and 26 states – as well as 20 years of detailed weather matched to the sample locations.
Sophisticated data maps show the effects of long-range weather forecasts on crop development.

Ag Data Science Done Right
The Main Street Data forecasting model leverages a massive amount of yield and weather data elements to identify and interpret causes, as well as measure, monitor, and forecast a wide variety of outcomes. This crop forecasting model is based on MSD’s proprietary Crop Stage approach, applying machine learning to billions of samples of yield and 10s of billions of field and weather-related data elements. The analytical interpretations derived from this powerful forecasting model are valuable to a wide range of users, including growers, traders, insurers, lenders, agronomists, and co-ops.
