From Space to Farm
Farmers rely on the accuracy of a crucial NASA and USGS mission, Landsat, to make decisions about crops. Those decisions have far-reaching implications that can impact what you see on your dinner plate!Sarah Loff (NASA)
This visualization shows simulated corn (yellow) and soybean (green) yields in Iowa from 2001-2020.
NASA builds crop models to understand how conditions like weather, soil type, and farm management affect the production of crops like corn and soybean.

The Mississippi River Valley is home to most of the rice farms in the United States. 🌾🍚
This #Landsat 9 image shows the patchwork of flooded rice fields in southwestern Louisiana on February 3, 2023. go.nasa.gov/3LmwPFw
#NASAEarth
Louisiana is the nation’s third-largest producer of rice, after Arkansas and California.
In 2021, the Rice Belt (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas) produced about 73%of all rice in the U.S. The map here shows rice-growing areas within these states (in blue) in 2022.
#NASAEarth
Our view from space can also show us how crops like rice are growing.
Satellites like #Landsat and Terra helped map a drop in rice acreage during a drought in Sacramento’s Central Valley – normally the largest rice-growing region in California.
