What is CropLogic?
Science | Technology | Agronomy
----- End of picture text -----
CropLogic is an agronomy services company that blends science, technology, and agronomy and sells to large-scale crop growers. Agricultural Technology Company founded on technology out of the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research. Science-based predictive modelling that can improve decision making and optimise crop yields for production and profitability. Operations in New Zealand, USA and a strong presence in Australia. Generating approx AU$2.3M per annum

What is agronomy?
The science of crop production and field management Responsibilities include: water, soil, plant, pest and weed management. Ultimate outcome: get the most from the crop. Problems:
[Resource intensive - up to ] two field visits per week
[Scale]
[Difficult to systemise]
[Underground crops difficult to ] predict
[Traditionally very relationship-] based sales model

Eyes on the field
Colour infrared image of fields in Canterbury acquired by CropLogic UAV in 2014 Science | Technology | Agronomy
The view from above CropLogic uses aerial imagery to identify issues that may be undetected by in-field sensors. Pest and weed outbreak recognition Irrigation problem identification Emergence monitoring Significant development in pattern recognition and image processing automation is currently underway. This will increase capacity and promote further scaling of aerial imagery services.

Optimising the use of skilled resources Early detection of in-field issues Changes the agronomist role from management by routine to management by exception
Example shows an eighteen week growth period CropLogic modelling would have highlighted 9 events that (possibly) would have required in-field attention. This compares with 1836 visits required under traditional methods.

A business-to-business per-acre per-crop recurring subscription model commonplace in the markets of interest
Traditional Agronomy Service Company Labour costs and travel time means margins are generally low
CropLogic CropLogic System greatly reduces labour and travel costs Allows agronomists to concentrate on high-value services
Predictive capabilities mean growers will pay more
