ARC Agronomic Sciences Ltd

The Agronomy Research Circle (ARC) connects networks of farmers, agronomists, researchers and industry with tools, resources and services to understand what works on-farm. It works on shared Explanations, Evidence, Experimentation and Exchange of experiences. We use Earth Observation to support this. Working with Australian company Data Farming we have a developed a Farm Trials platform at https://arc.datafarming.com to make it easy to set up simple strip experiments in fields, using satellite NDVI imagery to judge past spatial variation to enable fair comparisons, and to monitor treatment effects in real time to a line. We are also working to use assimilated satellite data to provide crop metrics for all fields on a farm, integrating with soil, weather and crop management data to understand and improve crop performance.
