Monsanto subsidiary The Climate Corporation announced last month that it would sell its crop insurance business to AmTrust North America.
Monsanto is predominately in the seed business, but the St. Louis-based company has dabbled in the data business, as well. Its Climate Corporation allows farmers to use cell phones and laptops to analyze hyper-local weather data and monitor weather trends. Farmers say the improved data service has helped become more efficient in a changing climate.
