In 2023 alone, U.S. farms suffered over $21 billion in crop losses due to natural disasters. Drought, extreme heat, and wildfires accounted for nearly $17 billion of that. If you’re not using real-time and historical weather data to prepare, you’re gambling with your entire season.
That’s where external data comes in. With access to timely forecasts and disaster history, farmers can make smarter, faster decisions that protect their crops and their bottom line.
Why External Data Is Critical in Agriculture
✅ Detect natural disaster risks early and prepare accordingly
✅ Adjust planting schedules and crop selections based on expected conditions
✅ Allocate labor and equipment more efficiently in times of drought or heavy rain
✅ Increase resilience, reduce losses, and improve overall profitability
How It Works
🔹 Use historical drought patterns and current forecasts to shift planting or invest in irrigation
🔹 Analyze temperature, rainfall, and humidity data to prepare for pest or disease outbreaks
🔹 Anticipate flooding and mobilize resources like sandbags, pumps, and emergency response
