  • Patent number: 10719787
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating crop yield maps are provided, in one example embodiment, a method can include accessing, by one or more processors, data indicative of crop yield for a field area; and accessing, by the one or more processors, one or more data types associated with the field area. Each of the data types can provide a geospatial distribution of data associated with vegetation across the field area. The method can further include determining, by the one or more processors, a crop yield distribution for the field area based at least in part on the data indicative of crop yield and the one or more data types; and generating, by the one or more processors, a yield map for the field area based at least in part on the crop yield distribution.

  • Patent number: 10699222
    Abstract: A system for providing visual crop data to a mobile device includes at least one server computer in communication with a mobile device. The at least one server computer is configured to receive location data relating to a geographical position of the mobile device; retrieve topographical data associated with at least a portion of the location data; generate shape data based at least partially on the topographical data; and transmit at least a portion of the shape data to the mobile device, such that at least one shape is visually displayed on at least a portion of a map image displayed on the mobile device. Also disclosed is a computer-implemented method and computer program product for providing and/or interacting with visual crop data, including appropriately communicatively connected hardware components.

  • Patent number: 10561055
    Abstract: A device is disclosed herein, said device for determining whether a day is suitable for planting a seed on a plot of land, said device comprising a microprocessor programmed to: (a) select at least one electronic data source containing meteorological data and/or soil temperature for the plot of land by a method comprising: (a1) determining the location of the plot of land; and (a2) selecting a data source providing local weather forecasting services and/or soil data services for the location of the plot of land; (b) electronically receive from the at least one electronic data source: (b1) meteorological data for the plot of land comprising a high surface air temperature and a low surface air temperature for each of the plurality of consecutive days; and (b2) at least one soil temperature for each of the plurality of consecutive days; and (c) select an alpha day within the plurality of consecutive days and determine whether it is suitable for planting the seed based on the meteorological data, the soil tempera
