CropX, a global soil sensing and agricultural analytics company, announced the acquisition of Nebraska-based CropMetrics, a provider of cloud-based, precision-irrigation tools.

By the end of 2021, the companies will integrate their digital platforms to provide their growers and dealer networks with a first-of-its-kind, fully connected crop management solution. The expanded partnership will also focus on a collaboration in data science, machine learning, and AI-driven analytics to deliver highly precise water-based insights and predictive models.

Lindsay Corp., a provider of irrigation systems and infrastructure products, today announced results for its third quarter ended May 31, 2016.

A roundtable discussion at the Precision Farming Dealer Summit this winter led to a partnership between MZB Technologies and Garden City Co-op in southwestern Kansas.

If farmers and agronomists were better able to use data from their irrigation management systems — including information on weather, soil moisture and crop types — they could make more informed decisions about when, where and how much water to apply, resulting in smarter energy and water use, and lowering costs while protecting or improving yield.

Lindsay Corp. announced results for its second quarter ended Feb. 29, 2016.

The patent includes a method for estimating crop water use from satellite imagery and weather data and a scalable approach for using remote sensing technology to estimate crop water needs.
