The Forecast and Assessment of Cropping Systems, or FACTS, is an ongoing project to provide professionals involved in the agriculture industry with important data to make informed decisions about their cropping systems.
FACTS is a compilation of real-time data on weather, soil, nitrogen, moisture and more combined with forecasting tools designed to answer questions to help maximize yield and minimize costs. The overall goal of FACTS is to have a system that will accurately forecast and evaluate cropping systems for industry professionals. FACTS is designed to answer some of the most common questions like: “what is my yield?” Or “what if I planted more?”
