A cooperative of growers and an agricultural data non-profit have agreed to combine their technology platforms and create a vital resource for data-driven agriculture – a neutral, secure and private data storage repository controlled by growers. The combined platforms will be known as AgXchange and will be an independent data repository commercially available through the Growers Ag Data Cooperative (GADC) where producers can control, store, view and share their farm data assets.

Purdue University announced today that it has joined the Agricultural Data Coalition (ADC), a group recently formed to build a national repository where farmers can safely store and manage their farm's production information.

Mary Kay Thatcher, Sr. Director with American Farm Bureau Federation and Jeremy Wilson with Crop IMS offer different perspectives on the value for both farmers and dealers of the newly formed Ag Data Coalition (ADC).

A new organization, the Agricultural Data Coalition (ADC), has been announced with the goal of building a data repository where farmers can securely store and oversee the information collected by their equipment.
