LANWORTH CROP FORECASTS MADE AVAILABLE TO AGRI-BUSINESS THROUGH NEW DATA PARTNERSHIP

CHICAGO – In the three years since its launch, the accuracy of RAY: Real-time Area and Yield® (RAY) in forecasting agricultural crop plantings and production has made the intelligence product a mainstay in the arsenal of commodities traders. Lanworth, Inc., and Telvent DTN have aligned to bring RAY to agri-business professionals via DTN ProphetX®, a leading subscription service used by most large agri-businesses and ethanol producers.

"We are very excited to integrate RAY with market, news and weather information provided by DTN ProphetX®. Today’s customer needs a comprehensive, accurate and timely data platform and we believe RAY and DTN ProphetX® will enable the right risk management decisions," said Shailu Verma, Lanworth President.

"Today’s markets are more volatile, complex and faster moving than ever before. In order to help traders succeed in these challenging markets, Telvent aims to provide its customers with the best trading tools and market analysis available," according to Telvent CEO, Ignacio González Domínguez. "As an innovative leader in agriculture forecasting, Lanworth is an ideal partner to offer Telvent customers the most accurate crop information available to make more profitable commodity trading decisions."

Since its first reports were released in October, 2007, RAY has provided intelligence on corn, soybean, wheat and sugar production in the United States and South America, identifying significant risk management opportunities for its customers.

Subscribers to the RAY offering via Telvent DTN will be provided biweekly estimates of planted area, yield, and production at state and district levels.
