Enhancing a data-focused digital tool

The Climate Corporation made a recent announcement about new aerial image resources, it's just the beginning.

That tablet you hold in your hand, and if you don't have one you'll most likely be getting one, can have power. A range of services from different tech providers love the tablet - often the iPad. But The Climate Corporation is at work to make that 1-pound wonder even more powerful.

The company recently announced it is integrating the services of three aerial imagery partners. It's just the start of a range of agreements in the works as Climate works not only to expand services, but allow you to have more useful data in the company’s Climate FieldView platform for the future. Three aerial imagery companies can now share their files directly into a farmer's Fieldview account.

Penguin in Arizona

A penguin is driving through Arizona on a hot summer's day when he notices his oil light is on. He gets out of the car and sure enough, it's leaking oil all over the road.

The penguin drives around the corner to a petrol station and asks the mechanic to take a look at it. The mechanic says he has a few others to look at first but if he comes back in an hour he can tell the penguin what is wrong with his car.

The penguin agrees and goes for a walk. He finds an ice cream shop and thinks a big bowl of vanilla ice cream will really hit the spot since he's a penguin and it is Arizona in the summer, after all.

He sits down at the counter and starts in on his ice cream. Of course he has no hands so it is rather messy. By the time he is done he has ice cream all over his flippers and his beak, a total mess.

He walks back to the service station and says to the mechanic, "Did you find out what is wrong with my car?" The mechanic replies

"It looks like you've blown a seal."

"No no," says the penguin. “It's just ice cream.”
