Intelinair has made a series of announcements regarding partnerships to expands its AGMRI platform.
To optimize nitrogen use efficiency, Intelinair and Yara North America will pair the nitrogen modeling power of Adapt-N with the analytical power of Intelinair’s AGMRI.
“Through a combination of Intelinair’s AGMRI early season analytics around stand establishment and crop health, coupled with Yara’s Adapt-N science-based nitrogen modeling, we will enhance nitrogen management for corn for the next growing season,” stated Tim Hassinger, Intelinair CEO. “Additionally, through this collaboration nitrogen insights will be automatically generated throughout the growing season and customized to management zones within each field. Farmers can adjust if needed to fit their budget, forecast and management approach.”
Adding tools to its platform has been a focus of Hassinger since he joined as CEO in late 2021.
“Improving economic, agronomic, and environmental outcomes for our customers is paramount at Yara. The integration of Adapt-N with Intelinair’s AGMRI allows automated insights to further refine the Adapt-N model and create improved outcomes for our joint customers,” said Bret Shaw, digital sales and commercialization development manager, Yara North America. “This integration fundamentally changes the way that nitrogen modeling is applied to the corn cropping system, the value this brings to the market will be immediately evident by allowing farmers to adjust their nitrogen needs based on the most accurate and timely data possible.”
With a new multi-year distribution agreement, Aker Technologies and Intelinair are expanding season-long monitoring of every acre. Aker customers will be offered Intelinair high-resolution imagery and analytics.
“Our organization is focused on providing efficiency in monitoring plant health and nutrition. This collaboration adds confidence in the management decisions for our customers by providing more ways to monitor fields with a bird’s eye view,” said Hassinger. “Through this collaboration, customers will gain insights sooner, helping them understand field status and performance, while also providing them the opportunity to take action sooner.”
Aker will offer its TrueCause drone imagery and analytics to Intelinair customers for broader access to full stand and leaf level insights where fixed-wing and high-resolution satellite identify problems in the field.
“Aker’s drone-based digital agronomy tools alongside Intelinair’s satellite analytics is a huge win for farm managers and the industry,” said Orlando Saez, CEO of Aker Technologies. “Growers are looking for easy-to-use actionable tools to improve their farm operations. This collaboration enables a powerful way to inform field task priorities, as well as quantification of stand count, assessment of disease, weed, pest and fertility for better and more profitable crop outcomes.”
The third announcement is that Intelinair plans to use Leaf’s API to better serve its customers.
“Through this collaboration, Intelinair adds more efficiency in integrating with OEM data sets, which allows AGMRI to provide more robust data analytics and insights to our customers,” said Kevin Krieg, Intelinair’s Director of Business Development. “This integration allows farmers and ag retailers to more easily access data and track field performance throughout the growing season which ultimately enables more timely decision making.”
As part of the agreement, Intelinair will use Leaf’s Field Operations and Field Boundary services. The API will help provide more robust and timely insights. The companies say data use will follow user permissioning and agreements.
“We are delighted to have Intelinair join the Leaf ecosystem,” said Bailey Stockdale, CEO and co-founder of Leaf. “It is exciting when a talented team has a clear understanding of how they can use Leaf to deliver new value to their customers and that is exactly what we have seen with Intelinair. We’re excited to see how Intelinair continues to support farmers and their trusted advisors and proud of the role we are able to play with Intelinair and their customer base.”
