Every ag signal you need. One API call.
Drought, precip, soil moisture, NDVI, GDD, yields, crop progress, FEMA flood zones, and NRI natural hazard scores — no pipelines, no file parsing, no FIPS wrangling. Plus a per-crop Stress Index built on 24 years of yield data.
All signals are county-level. No file parsing, no FIPS wrangling, no pipeline to maintain — just query and go.
Composite 0–100 agricultural stress index. Weights drought, VPD, precipitation, soil moisture, and NDVI anomaly using empirical per-crop models validated against NASS yield data.
Weekly USDM severity (D0–D4), regime classification, persistence streaks, and 52-week burden scores.
Daily PRISM 4km gridded data aggregated to county: 7/30/90-day precip totals, max temp, min temp, and VPD.
NASA SMAP AM/PM volumetric water content and vegetation water content, updated daily with ~1–3 day latency.
MODIS 16-day NDVI composites with z-score anomaly vs a 25-year seasonal baseline — a direct measure of vegetation stress at the county level.
Season-to-date GDD for corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, and sorghum — with prior-year comparison built in.
USDA NASS county-level annual yields and harvested acres for major crops, back to 1981.
USDA NASS weekly planting, emergence, and harvest percentages by crop and state — updated every Monday.
NFHL-derived county flood exposure: % of land in SFHA (high risk), 0.2% annual chance zone, and total mapped coverage. Refreshed quarterly.
All-hazard risk scores for all 3,232 US counties — composite NRI score plus per-hazard ratings for drought, inland flooding, hail, tornado, hurricane, wildfire, and 11 more. Annual refresh.
The Crop Stress Index combines drought severity, VPD, precipitation deficit, soil moisture, and NDVI anomaly into a single county-level index. Weights are derived from Pearson correlations against NASS yield deviations and vary by the county's dominant crop.
Validated out-of-sample (2019–2024): Pearson r = −0.34 vs detrended NASS county yields across 10,100 county-years. Soybeans r = −0.49, wheat r = −0.41.

Early access pricing. Rates subject to change.
Most ag intelligence platforms use enterprise contracts with opaque, per-acre or per-seat pricing. r2data2 offers transparent, usage-based pricing with no setup fees and no per-acre licensing — starting free.
All plans include county-level drought, precipitation, soil moisture, NDVI, GDD, crop yields, crop progress, FEMA flood zones, and NRI natural hazard scores. Paid plans add the Crop Stress Index and deeper historical data.
Agricultural lenders monitoring portfolio exposure, crop insurers benchmarking loss ratios, agtech platforms embedding risk signals, and commodity analysts tracking growing-season stress.
R2Data2 ingests directly from U.S. government sources: USDA Drought Monitor (weekly drought severity), PRISM Climate Group (daily 4km gridded weather), NASA SMAP (daily soil moisture), NASA MODIS via AppEEARS (16-day NDVI composites), USDA NASS QuickStats (crop yields and progress), FEMA NFHL (flood zone maps), and FEMA National Risk Index. All data is normalized to county-level FIPS codes.
