Corteva  and its software business  Granular, announced  an agreement with Planet – an integrated aerospace and data analytics company.

Corteva is the newly named agriculture operation of DowDuPont. The company will be headquartered in Delaware when it is spun off from DowDuPont.

The  expanded global partnership will deliver digital agriculture software solutions for farmers.

The three-year agreement will integrate Planet’s daily, global satellite imagery data into Granular’s farm-management software suite.

 “Planet operates the world’s largest fleet of satellites and is quickly advancing its image frequency and quality,” said Sid Gorham, Granular co-founder and CEO. “Our team of data scientists have built tools that translate Planet’s imagery into actionable insights on the health of crops throughout the growing season. Our farmer customers access these insights via Granular’s easy-to-use mobile applications – enabling farmers to tap into the power of a global satellite network right from their phone.”
 

Under the expanded partnership, Granular will directly license and integrate Planet’s daily feed of satellite imagery into its farm-management software.

Daily satellite imagery from Planet provides farmers with timely visibility into problem spots, as well as patterns in weather-related impacts, on every field.
