[Via Satellite 01-13-2015] Beginning this year, BlackBridge’s RapidEye imagery from the U.S. and Canadian Monitoring Program for Agriculture will be made available through Agrian’s Technology Platform for Growers. Agrian will be able to supply a large pool of high-resolution, multispectral RapidEye satellite imagery along with its own soil data, crop and weather history as well as crop performance data.

BlackBridge’s Monitoring Programs for Agriculture provides both freshly taken and archived five-meter RapidEye satellite imagery across all major North American agricultural areas multiple times throughout the growing season, along with other regions of the world.
Agrian plans to incorporate archived and in-season imagery from BlackBridge into its new Agrian 6 offering. BlackBridge is seeking to bolster its presence in the precision farming market through this partnership.
