FarmOp Capital to deploy EarthDaily Agro’ satellite crop monitoring
FarmOp Capital, LLC. is a new ag lender providing U.S. grain farmers with high advance rate working capital loans that support their operational independence and efficiency. FarmOp’s innovative financing approach provides up to 100% of the operating credit required for a farmer to plant and harvest a crop – especially important today as farmers make management decisions while facing low commodity prices and thin margins.
In the 2019 crop year, FarmOp will use EarthDaily Agro’ satellite crop monitoring services in its lending and loan servicing operations. This will provide valuable insights to help reduce the risk for both FarmOp and its borrowers.
The EarthDaily Agro platform uses a combination of daily satellite imagery and medium resolution maps of fields to identify crops, growth stage, and yield potential trend. These analytics feed into business intelligence dashboards to help identify and quantify risk exposure during the season.
Matthieu Hyrien, vice president of sales and marketing, EarthDaily Agro, says “We provide scientific and objective analytics; evidence that helps build trust and transparency while managing risk between lenders and farmers. It is great to have the opportunity to work with such an innovative team at FarmOp by helping them service loans and supporting their growth.”
“We have been convinced by the level of experience and deep historical data that EarthDaily Agro has demonstrated, and an impressive list of customers globally, leaders in many countries. EarthDaily Agro’ scalability enables us to grow our business.” — Darwin Melnyk, cofounder and chief technology officer, FarmOp Capital.
FarmOp is at the top of the list of 8 agtech start-ups to watch according to Successful Farming.
