Water-Driven Yield Potential Model is Helping Farmers

Water-Driven Yield Potential Model is Helping Farmers

Crop Intelligence helps farmers make insightful decisions with soil moisture data and interpretation.

One of the many responsibilities that comes with farming is staying up to date on the weather. At any given time, you likely know how much or how little rain you have been getting.

However, knowing how many centimeters of rain you’ve had in the last month and staying informed about what that rain is doing under the surface of your field are two different pieces of information. Unfortunately, the latter tends to be more difficult to find out - unless you’ve implemented Crop Intelligence.

At the recent Canada Farm Show in Regina, we visited with Crop Intelligence to find out more.  Crop Intelligence is an app that collects and interprets information related to your soil moisture for dryland farming. This data is then interpreted to create a water-driven yield potential model that helps farmers make informed decisions that maximize their yield potential.

With only two required materials, the monitoring system created by Crop Intelligence is simple to set up. Once in use, farmers can use the app to get real-time insights about their soil health.

Additionally, the power of Crop Intelligence is only increasing. Crop Intelligence has released a new update that can send alerts directly to your phone so that you are always up to date on the status of your crops.

To learn more about how Crop Intelligence works, watch the video below with Andrea De Roo, the Director of Agronomy at Crop Intelligence.

Video: Why the Fertilizer Crisis Won’t End When the Iran War Does

The fertilizer crisis didn’t start with war — it revealed a system already under strain.

Seed World U.S. Editor Aimee Nielson breaks down what’s really happening in global fertilizer markets and why the impact on farmers may last far longer than current headlines suggest. Featuring insights from global fertilizer expert Melih Keyman and industry leaders Chris Abbott and Chris Turner, this conversation explores:

Why fertilizer supply was already tight before geopolitical disruption

What the Strait of Hormuz and global trade routes mean for input availability

How rising nitrogen prices are crushing farmer margins

Why this crisis could affect seed choices, crop mix and acreage decisions

The hidden risks around phosphate and sulfur supply

Why experts say this situation may get worse before it gets better

Even if tensions ease, the underlying issues — supply constraints, investment gaps and purchasing behavior — are still in play.

Watch to understand what this means for farmers, the seed industry and the future of global food production.
