FBN out to fleece the flock?

[Ache4Acres]

Came across this one. FBN has a total of over $500M in investment funding. someone somewhere must think there is money in being the middle man to the farmer.

It's all about the information they get from you thats the big dollar return for them.

I believe it’s google , but not 100% sure.
And yes it’s all about info and your yield data if you sign up.

I still cant understand why farmers use fieldview climate view? They must also answer all telemarketer calls?

There was a field view presentation a few years ago at a grower meeting of a local retail.....to this day I cant see the value in it for farmers.....until they pay for the information they are harvesting....

It’s not nearly as valuable as everyone thinks. How many times have you sprayed wheat for a full day before you realize the tank product is still on liberty? From what I see the only platform with accurate data is from agrimatics with the libra cart. Too much room for human error with the other stuff

Are any of these expensive satellite imagery subscription programs capable of detecting hail damage?

If you drive a couple S series like I do without active yield, nobody could decipher my canola yield, let alone create a variable rate fertilizer map from the data.....
