Farm Market iD’s Leading Agriculture Database Now Covers over 900 Million Vegetative Acres
Westmont, IL (PRWEB) June 03, 2016 -- The FMiD proprietary data is the only source of farm and ranch data with a nationwide footprint containing detailed information on land, crops and grower information. In contrast to other sources of grower data it is not modeled, inferred or extrapolated. The FMiD data is fact-based, built from the bottom up starting with 1/4 acre increments and farm field boundaries. The FMiD database covers over 900 million acres of vegetation, includes more than 320 million acres of crops like corn, soy, wheat, and over 100 more, and represents 94% of the major crop-production in the US.
The FMiD database is the foundation for the data-powered solutions the company provides to leading agribusinesses. A team of highly experienced data science professionals compiles the data from a variety of public and private sources to insure maximum coverage, detail and accuracy. “Big Data and Data Science have already transformed many industries. However, given the unique nature of the Ag industry, its adoption has been rather slow. We are in the infancy of the data science adoption curve in agriculture. Companies that learn to leverage data to power decision making will excel” Rao commented.
FMiD receives many requests to utilize the data to answer a varied array of strategic questions such as:
• How many acres, what crops and other key bits of information can I learn about my customers?
• Who are the various decision makers for the farm?
• How can I find a prospect for my specific service and locations?
• Where should I locate my manufacturing or processing locations?
• Can I identify field boundaries for precision Ag or other digital farming initiatives?
• What is my share of market, and specifically for each customer?
• How do I bring all of this disparate data together to get a comprehensive understanding of my customers, prospects and my market?
“Given the focus and growth in AgTech, Big Data and IoT in Agriculture, FMiD’s database can provide ag retailers, seed companies, crop protection companies, equipment manufacturers, as well as other product and service providers a competitive advantage” said CEO, Steven Rao.
