I live in India.

> There is data on what is being grown in various areas but not fine grained enough or updated often enough for our purposes.

Right? Do you think farmers would self report that data in exchange of getting real time data from other farms? Would they care about recommendation on what to grow and pricing?

There are lot of groups for techies online and self reporting channels but I haven't found any good ones for farmers in india. Can you list them for me if you know about them?

I would love to talk more. Email is in the profile.

It would be very difficult to get farmers to self-report anything unless what they get in return is quite tangible. I am not familiar with any network/system that does this effectively in India and at scale.
