Daily AI-powered corn and soybean forecasts — giving grain traders, risk managers, and agribusiness a quantified production outlook weeks ahead of USDA.
How It Works
Yield forecasting requires more than weather. AE4cast runs AI across the full pipeline — from raw weather to final yield signal.
10-day ensemble trajectories from a state-of-the-art AI foundation model at 0.1° resolution. Calibrated against ERA5 global reanalysis — the gold standard for historical weather.
Satellite imagery processed through AI models to map crop type and planting boundaries at county resolution — more accurate spatial weights than any public dataset.
Physics-informed functions translate weather into yield impact: growing degree days, heat stress thresholds, water deficit. Trained on 40+ years of county-level data.
Separates structural yield trends from weather-driven deviations. This layer is the source of AE4cast's minimum-bias advantage over weather-only competitors.
Proven Performance
Accuracy measured on the same day as USDA's August WASDE release — same information, no timing advantage.
What's Included
Actionable intelligence across yields, government data, trade flows, and area — updated every morning.
County-level corn & soybean forecasts rolled up to state and national. 109 daily updates for corn (May–Aug), 139 for soybeans (May–Sep).
USDA crop conditions, planting progress, planted/harvested area, yield, and stocks-to-use. Equivalent reports for Brazil, Argentina, and other origins.
Monthly export progress for all major exporters with destination breakdowns. Track demand and bottlenecks before the market does.
Yearly planting and harvested area forecasts at the grid cell level, powered by AI satellite land classification.
Who It's For
Decision-grade signals for every part of the agricultural value chain.
Act on in-season yield shifts before official prints. Compare state-level conditions to position spreads. Track export pace to anticipate basis and flat price.
Quantify production risk with county-to-national aggregation. Stress-test exposure with weather indicators. Align hedges with objective, daily-refreshed signals.
Use AE4cast as an independent cross-check on official estimates. Spot emerging supply shocks earlier with transparent, weather-linked drivers.
Forward-plan procurement with state-level yield visibility. Match capacity and logistics to export pace. Reduce analyst lift; reallocate time to commercial strategy.
