US: Farm Market iD database covers 1,000,000,000+ acres

Farm Market iD announced the release of its 2017 Annual Update of its farm and land database.

The FMiD database now covers over one billion acres of vegetation (1,091,880,497 acres), includes more than 322 million acres of crops like corn, soy, wheat, and over 100 more, and represents 94% of the major crop-production in the US.

In contrast to publisher and survey data, the FMiD proprietary data is the only source of farm and ranch data with a nationwide footprint containing detailed information on land, crops and grower information. FMID data is not modeled, inferred or extrapolated rather it is built upon a variety of objective transactional sources of data including some that are uniquely proprietary to FMID Other providers are using 2008 data and projecting forward over 8 years. A lot has changed since that time. Also, other providers cannot provide insights down to the farm field level.

FMiD also compiles and analyzes land ownership records and operational data which allows the company to determine the individual or entity’s role on the farm field. FMiD also accurately estimates annual gross farm income (GFI) using this data coupled with yield and price data. Additional data is brought in to enhance, confirm and update the database including phone company directory assistance data, email data, consumer demographics, etc.

“It is a Big Data exercise enacted by Big Data scientists.” commented Steve Rao, CEO.

Farm Market iD’s database is compiled from more than 100 different sources. It includes many primary government sources which are then enhanced and confirmed with a variety of other consumer and business data sets. The completed file then goes through extensive quality assurance testing.
