Exciting News! We've Enhanced our Yield Forecasts with Planet Labs' Data

We have exciting news! We've enhanced our yield forecast model for US corn and soybeans through the integration of data from Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a global provider of high-resolution satellite imagery. This collaboration is a big step forward in our commitment to delivering the best agricultural insights to our clients! 

Barchart’s enhanced yield forecasts provide daily updates accessible via API or within cmdtyView, Barchart's premier solution for market intelligence, analysis, and risk management. We've got you covered from national and state levels down to county-level estimates – which is especially crucial since the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service stopped offering them. With Planet's data, we’re bringing you even more accurate insights into US soil conditions and yields all season long! 

You can also learn more about Barchart’s enhanced yield forecast model this September in Orlando at Barchart’s Grain Merchandising and Technology Conference. This exciting 3-day event is designed for grain merchandisers, originators, general managers, and grain buyers from around the world. Connect with industry professionals, learn from experts, and explore innovative workflows for grain merchandising and origination.  Enjoy discounted room rates before, during and after the conference and indulge in fantastic on-site amenities such as restaurants, golf course, pools, and a waterpark.  Explore the full agenda and register at barchart.com/grainconference.
