During Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, Climate Corporation announced that farmers in Eastern Canada will have access to the FieldView digital agriculture platform for the 2017 growing season.

Producers will be able to collect, organize and analyze data from their fields on one platform.

Having all their information in one place can help farmers make informed decisions a little easier.

"Through the advanced digital tools in the Climate FieldView platform, Canadian farmers can instantly visualize and analyze crop performance with field data maps and satellite imagery, so they can tailor their agronomic practices for the best outcome at the end of the season,” said Mike Stern, chief executive officer for The Climate Corporation.

Some of FieldView’s features include:

Yield analysis tools that allow farmers to evaluate seed performance by field and hybrid.
Field-level weather to help producers prioritize their course of action for the day.
Cloud-to-cloud connection with a variety of agricultural software systems.
The ability for farmers to drop geo-located scouting pins on field health images and navigate back to those spots for a closer look.

Farmers in Eastern Canada will be able to purchase Climate FieldView this winter so they can implement it for the 2017 growing season.

For farmers that sign up for Climate FieldView by January 1, 2017, they can try field-level weather insights for free on two trial fields.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
