2010 marks the ninth year that Planalytics, in collaboration with TerraMetrics
Agriculture and the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program at the University
of Kansas, has produced our GreenReport and GreenReport Crop Yield Forecasts.
Our initial Winter Wheat forecast will be published on March 26th and
updated bi-weekly throughout the growing season. Forecasts for corn, soybeans,
spring wheat, durum, oats, barley and grain sorghum will be published
on June 4th.

Planalytics GreenReport
Utilizing remote satellite imagery to measure green plant material and
biomass on the ground, Planalytics GreenReport provides a snapshot of
plant health across North America. Digitized images are converted to Normalized
Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) values and mapped, making it easy
to compare and analyze current vegetation conditions to the previous week,
the same week last year, or to the average "greenness" for that period
over the past 20 years.
Along with these maps, Planalytics Agricultural Business Weather Meteorologists
provide analysis and commentary describing weather's impact, actual and
forecast on vegetation health.

Planalytics GreenReport Crop Yield Forecasts
Based on 20 years of historic NDVI values correlated with final USDA
season-end yield results.
Planalytics Crop Yield forecasts are issued bi-weekly beginning soon
after crops emerge in the Spring. Maps and speadsheets containing yield
estimates at the Agricultural Statistics District (ASDI), state and national
level are provided along with analysis and commentary. Besides winter
wheat, corn and soybeans, yield forecasts are also available for sorghum,
Spring wheat, durum, oats and barley.
