American farmers make critical

decisions every day. NASA Earth

00:00:08,930 --> 00:00:13,218

Science helps inform those

decisions with missions like

00:00:13,296 --> 00:00:17,740

Landsat and GPM. But today

farmers see dry lands becoming

00:00:17,818 --> 00:00:22,340

drier, wet areas becoming wetter

and more intense and more

00:00:22,418 --> 00:00:26,862

frequent extreme weather.

American agriculture needs more

00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:30,994

information for water

management, planting decisions

7

00:00:31,072 --> 00:00:35,438

and market knowledge. NASA is

partnering with farmers to

00:00:35,516 --> 00:00:39,726

deliver new technology, new

tools and new data to help

00:00:39,804 --> 00:00:44,482

producers make decisions at

every level, from the farm field
