The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Bushel Farm prices are not shown on the current pages; the tier names appear but the figures sit behind an old pricing path; MeteoGroup the vendor's own domain (meteogroup.com), as captured by the Internet Archive on 29 December 2021, redirects to and displays DTN's own corporate site listing DTN's weather and agriculture product lines (ClearAg, WeatherSentry, ProphetX), confirming in the vendor's own pages that MeteoGroup now operates under the DTN brand with no independent MeteoGroup pricing surviving; no dollar figures were found on the DTN page
  • They diverge on capability: Bushel Farm covers Field management, MeteoGroup covers European forecasts.

Bushel Farm

  • Much of the value comes from integrations with John Deere Operations Center, Climate FieldView and the Bushel grain network, so the benefit depends on already using those
  • There is no free tier, only a 30 day trial

MeteoGroup

  • The vendor's own domain (meteogroup.com), as captured by the Internet Archive on 29 December 2021, redirects to and displays DTN's own corporate site listing DTN's weather and agriculture product lines (ClearAg, WeatherSentry, ProphetX), confirming in the vendor's own pages that MeteoGroup now operates under the DTN brand with no independent MeteoGroup pricing surviving; no dollar figures were found on the DTN page
