Private and confidential

Who are Proagrica
Proagrica, the global agricultural division of RELX, drives growth and improves efficiency by delivering high-value insight and data, critical tools and advanced technology solutions
![Page 3: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
570 million Farms, 25 million Tractors, 50
billion chickens, 1 billion sheep, 1 billion
pigs, 80 million turkeys, 1.5 billion cows
in the world with 100% of them with
passports in the UK vs 36% of the US
population….
…and Big Brother / Data is here, for
Animals at least as they are all being
monitored / reporting data

Agriculture is at the Centre of Global Change
![Page 5: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How could data help?
![Page 6: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Precision Agri: Our Data Landscape / Assets
Vast amounts of data spread across the Agricultural landscape. Proagrica is consolidating, organising and enhancing this data to help drive value across the entire industry, from the
farm gate all the way to the super market shelf
Farm MachineryEvery piece of equipment on the farm is now generating data and wants to be precise
AgronomistProviding farm advice, shape files and data to farmers
Manufacturers & DistributorsAdaptris manages supply chain connectivity between MFRS and their Distributors
Weather DataGlobal current and historical weather and soil moisture data at sub-field level
Farm Management Information Systems (FMIS)
A wide spectrum of tools used by Farmers all generating data
Satellites / Drones Ability to identify yield and crop
issues from space / drones
SensorsGround and animal sensors measuring everything from
animal fertility to soil moisture
SoilGlobal soil type horizons

An overview of the approach
![Page 8: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

What does it deliver?
▶ Global insight through fully integrated ESB data, Data As A Service and a range of Analytics tools
▶ An agile, scalable, resilient and secure platform that can consume data from any source, consolidate, enrich and expose global agricultural data from everything soil to animals and all the way to satellites
▶ Precision Ag covering the full Ag value chain from Mfr, through Agronomist, CO-OP, Farmer and Distributor
▶ A range of Analytics solutions focused on Pesticides, Herbicides, Fertilizers, Seeds, Cattle, Milk, etc. that provide insight at market, region, farm, field and sub-field levels
▶ Enabling the industry to increase yield and profitability whilst reducing inputs and improving environmental impact

Patterns of OSR using Principal Component Analysis
▶ Why was the 2016 harvest in the UK so awful?
▶ What correlates to higher yields?
▶ How effective are pesticides?
▶ Are hybrids better?
![Page 11: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A few gotchas……..
▶ Correlation doesn’t equal causation……..
▶ Some unusal yields ……….
Maximum yield:
36,784,867 kg/ha
![Page 12: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

How has yield varied over the last 10 years?
▶ Average yield is 3,766 kg/ha
![Page 15: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The spread in yield
3,750 kg/ha
5,250 kg/ha
2,250 kg/ha
▶ Most growers are within 1,496 kg/ha of the average
![Page 16: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
…. But this isn’t constant!
![Page 17: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Could it be related to variety choice?
![Page 18: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Popularity of hyrid varieties by location

How do we visualise the data?
▶ Over 150 pairs of variables to investigate
▶ No idea what is linked before we start……
![Page 21: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What’s this 2D picture of a 3D object?
![Page 22: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How about now?
![Page 23: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How to read the graphs
Two variables
that are high
at the same
time
![Page 24: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How to read the graphs
Two variables
that are high
at opposite
times
![Page 25: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
How to read the graphs
Two variables that
have nothing to do
with each other
![Page 26: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The market for OSR varieties
![Page 27: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What causes variation in yield – it’s a similar story
▶ Degree days▶ Fertiliser treatments▶ Fungicide treatments▶ Insecticide treatments▶ Month of first insecticide application▶ High wind events▶ Temperatures▶ Average rainfall
▶ Coldest week▶ Total radiation▶ Wettest weeks▶ Driest weeks▶ Soil moisture▶ Precipitation▶ Lattitude & Longitude▶ Soil content
![Page 28: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Overall, what correlates with a high yield?
Warm winters
Dry springsWarm
summers
Fertilisers not needed?
Larger and
Northern?
2016
2015
![Page 29: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The answers………..
▶ Why was the 2016 harvest in the UK so awful?▶ Wet spring and/or dry winter
▶ What correlates to higher yields?▶ Warm spring, wet winters and proper pesticide application
▶ How effective are pesticides?▶ Yes for fungicide, “perhaps” for insecticide
▶ Are hybrids better?▶ Not really
![Page 30: Jeff Bradshaw, Founder, Adaptris](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58e4a4551a28aba3458b6857/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Take home messages
▶ If you’re a farmer▶ There are probably too many varieties of OSR in the world!▶ OSR does better in wet springs and warm winters
▶ If you’re in to analytics▶ Working with big data is a lot of fun▶ Dimension reduction is great for picking out correlations in
complex data
