Despite an extreme drought in northwestern Iowa throughout the summer of 2022, the overall corn condition was better than in the previous two years. EOS Data Analytics, a global provider of AI-powered satellite imagery analytics, explored the causes of these phenomena and explained how Iowa farmers tackle such prolonged dry conditions.

During the last few decades, climate change had been bringing positive effects on crop growth and reproduction. However, it is now reaching a point where it causes more harm than good. Growing temperatures during summer heat waves will gradually increase the chances of failed corn pollination, the most critical stage of corn pollination affecting the size of the yield.

To make sure corn pollination goes well, farmers must ensure sufficient moisture in the soil and optimal air temperatures. This is what remote sensing data allows farmers to track and even anticipate.

To demonstrate it, EOS Data Analytics studied a cornfield between Danbury and Sioux City in northwestern Iowa.
