🗺️ Get real-time crop classification and mapping at national scale using satellite imagery, weather data, and AI.¶
Introduction¶
Traditionally, accurate and timely crop mapping has come at a high cost. Field surveys, farmer reports, and manual sampling methods provide precise data—but they are time-consuming, expensive to scale, and often lag behind the pace of market or agro-climatic events. By the time insights reach decision-makers, key opportunities may already be missed—or decisions are made without a full picture of what’s happening in the field. Today, that model is changing.
EarthDaily's Crop Classification product combines satellite imagery, weather data, and advanced AI models to accurately detect what crops are planted and where—all during the active growing season, at national scale.
This breakthrough enables a new standard of crop intelligence that is:
- Timely available – Crop masks are provided during the growing season, not months after harvest
- Scalable – Covering millions of hectares with consistent accuracy
- Cost-efficient – Eliminating the need for large-scale field surveys
- Seamless – Accessible through APIs and ready for integration into your business workflows
Whether you are forecasting crop supply, managing agricultural risk, or optimizing procurement strategies, our solution brings unprecedented scale and efficiency to understanding what’s growing—across regions or entire countries.
👥 Target Audience¶
EarthDaily has designed this product for organizations that need timely, accurate, and scalable agricultural intelligence—and have the technical capacity to integrate data via APIs:
-
AgTech Companies & Platforms
Power digital farming tools, agronomic models, and targeted crop-specific advice for mid-season decisions. -
Commodity Traders & Analysts
Improve crop acreage estimation, optimize sourcing strategies, and gain early signals of supply shifts for major crops. -
Food & Beverage Corporates
Enhance supply chain transparency, support ESG commitments, and improve seasonal planning and procurement. -
Insurance & Risk Management Firms
Accurately assess crop exposure, monitor planting declarations, and model risk with spatially consistent datasets. -
Governments & Policy Institutions

🌎 Geographic Coverage and Crops¶
Crop Identification is currently available for the United States and Brazil, covering key agricultural regions and focusing on the main row crops grown in each country.
Crop mask layers are generated and updated during the active growing season, providing near-real-time visibility into crop distribution as the season progresses.
Coverage includes crops such as:
- USA: Corn, Soybean, Wheat, Cotton
- Brazil: Soybean, Corn (first and second seasons), Sugarcane, Cotton, Wheat and Rice
Additional countries and crops can be supported upon request or as part of our product roadmap. Contact us here to know more.
đź”§ Flexible Delivery to Fit Your Workflow¶
Crop Identification is designed for seamless integration into your operations, offering two delivery mechanisms to match your needs:
-
API Access to Crop Mask Layers (via STAC Catalog)
Query spatially and temporally indexed crop masks through our API, fully referenced in a SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC). Ideal for applications that require pre-processed crop masks over large areas in standard geospatial formats (e.g., GeoTIFF). -
API Access to Field-Level Information
Retrieve crop type predictions linked to individual field boundaries, enabling precise, field-level intelligence. Suitable for systems that work with known field geometries. (Automated field boundaries is also available)
No matter your architecture or scale, our flexible delivery options make it easy to bring timely, accurate crop intelligence into your existing workflows.
