Mark Johnson
CEO, Co-Founder, Descartes Labs
"I think one of the most important things for our growers and agronomists is timely and accurate information. The more information we have and the better the quality of the information, the better predictions, and prescriptions, we can make. Having a provider like Planet to give us that revisit time every few days so that we can take action and provide accurate data at a five meter resolution is invaluable to FarmersEdge, and more importantly, it’s critical to the work of growers in the field."

The Coyote Creek and Beulah mines are located about 8 miles from Beulah, ND.
As Coyote Creek Mine came into production, the Beulah Mine continued to produce 500,000 tons of coal per year for the MDU-Heskett Station, and reclaim previously-mined areas.
Focus on the images taken one day apart (November 10th and 11th, 2016): They show Coyote Creek’s dragline in motion, while the dragline at the Beulah Mine remains stationary. The Beulah Mine winds down operations after losing the contract to supply coal to the Coyote Generating Station. In addition to the moving dragline, trucks are visible on the road to Coyote Generating Station in this PlanetScope image from November 11, 2016.
"Remote sensing data provided by Planet’s satellites has given us a huge advantage in agricultural and land use monitoring. We look forward to ultra-high revisit rates that Planet will be hitting soon. We believe it will be the start of a new era for earth observation, and we are very excited."
