By 2010 its database contained 150 billion soil observations and 10 trillion weather-simulation points.
The Climate Corporation planned to use these data to sell crop insurance. But last October Monsanto bought the company for about $1 billionne of the biggest takeovers of a data firm yet seen.
Monsanto, the world largest hybrid-seed producer, has a library of hundreds of thousands of seeds,
and terabytes of data on their yields. By adding these to the Climate Corporation soil-and-weather database,
it produced a map of America which says which seed grows best in which field, under what conditions.

The seed companies think providing more data to farmers could increase America maize yield from 160 bushels an acre (10 tonnes a hectare) to 200 bushelsiving a terrific boost to growersmeagre margins.
But the story of prescriptive planting is also a cautionary tale about the conflicts that arise when data entrepreneurs meet old-fashioned businessfolk.
They fear that the stream of detailed data they are providing on their harvests might be misused.
the prescriptive planting firms might even use the data to buy underperforming farms and run them in competition with the farmers;
or the companies could use the highly sensitive data on harvests to trade on the commodity markets,
and control their data; that companies may not use the information except for the purpose for

to negotiate with the data providers. Another worry is that, since the companies have not yet made the data fully ortable farmers may become locked into doing business with a single provider.
To assuage all these concerns the Climate Corporation has set up a free data storage service for farmers,
which others cannot access without the farmerspermission. New niche data-management firms are entering the market,
which should help make it more competitive. For the time being, though, the biggest companies will dominate prescriptive planting. They collect the most comprehensive data
and make better use of them than anyone else. And that raises a problem which affects big data in all its forms.
