(agriculture weather analytics: soil moisture, crop growth and health, spray conditions, irrigation and harvest readiness modules) before the product later moved under DTN's Agribusiness line.; Aeris Weather aerisWeather now sells as Xweather under Vaisala
  • They diverge on capability: ClearAg covers Spray window predictions, Aeris Weather covers Weather API.
