New technologies enable farmers to collect and analyze unprecedented amounts of information about their own operations. Additionally, an increasing number of "Big Data" tools allow producers to aggregate information across hundreds and even thousands of operations to evaluate trends and benchmark performance. At the same time, farmers are faced with determining the value of the agricultural data they generate, wondering whether they should be paying outside firms to analyze their data, or if those outside firms should be paying them for access to that data. Managing Farm Risk Using Big Data is a handbook created to help farmers understand the challenges and opportunities of Big Data (as well as “small data”) and evaluate what data technologies may be profitable for their farm.
