Understory announced today that it has partnered with Monsanto, a global modern agriculture company, to provide insights into localized weather in Argentina to drive growers’ decisions.

Specifically, Monsanto has adopted and expanded its use of Understory’s weather network technology to optimize decisions around irrigation, harvest times and seed production to boost crop yields, according to a release.

“Our collaboration with Monsanto promises to deliver daily operational insights to farmers around the world to yield better, healthier crops, and it can be deployed anywhere without the need for oversite or management,” Understory CEO Alex Kubicek said in a statement.

The partnership was announced following a pilot program in Hawaii over the past year.
