Lanworth, Inc., a geospatial imaging analysis firm based in
Illinois, announced its introduction of corn, soy and wheat crop
coverage for the commodities’ entire growing regions.
The company’s Real-Time Acres and Yield (RAY) portal will
feature North American data analysis to clients, as well as an
optional program for reports on Brazil and Argentina, the
primary corn, soy and wheat growing countries in South America.
“Setting our sights on South America rounds out the picture for
these major commodities,” said Dr. Nick Kouchoukos, Agricultural
Analyst for Lanworth. “It gives us the ability to look
internationally and see, with great accuracy, where the
production has been and where it is going.”
Lanworth made headlines in October when, five days prior to the
USDA, the firm reported a radical drop in US corn production
according to their imaging analysis. Sure enough, the USDA
presented numbers much lower than the market expected, which
continued to drop until the final report in January. With each
passing month, the USDA crop production reports moved closer to
Lanworth’s early prediction.
“The US numbers substantiated our value to the North American
agriculture industry,” said Dr. Kouchoukos. “We aim to extend
that value to commodities traders and producers in the South
American market.”
