Highly rated among retailers and other agricultural service providers, ScoutPro offers top-of-the-line field observation software and solutions built on high-quality information.

“We’re excited to offer a complete package of solutions built for retailers and agricultural professionals that now includes seamless integration of this new map set for directed scouting,” said Michael Koening, ScoutPro Inc. president. “Unlike with traditional scouting, imagery-derived maps give our customers the big picture of their fields and increases their capacity for directed scouting – the imagery is captured, the maps are processed and then put directly into their hands. It’s a scalable solution for businesses to better assess their needs and cover more acres; no other company offers this combination of high-resolution, high-frequency imagery and processing technology.”
ScoutPro sought out Farmers Edge after learning about their digital agronomy tools powered by daily satellite imagery, field-centric data, machine learning, IoT, and AI-driven analytics.
