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: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
