Publication number: 20240046377Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for updating an agricultural prescription for a geographic region. An example computer-implemented method includes executing an agricultural prescription, via farming equipment, in a geographic region and receiving, during execution of the prescription, sensor data from the farming equipment and operating data representing local operating settings for the farming equipment. Task execution data for the agricultural prescription is generated based on the received sensor data and received operating data for the farming equipment, and compared to expected data for execution of the prescription by the farming equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Patrick Lee Dumstorff, A. Corbett S. Kull, Christopher Sears Mikelson, Craig Eugene Rupp

Publication number: 20180263171Abstract: A method begins by agriculture equipment collecting current on-site gathered agriculture data regarding an agriculture region and sending at least a representation of the current on-site gathered agriculture data to a host device. The method continues with the host device processing one or more of the at least a representation of the current on-site gathered agriculture data, current off-site gathered agriculture data, historical on-site gathered agriculture data, historical off-site gathered agriculture data, and historical analysis of agriculture predictions regarding the agriculture region to produce a current agriculture prediction for the agriculture region. The method continues with the host device generating an agriculture prescription regarding at least a portion of the agriculture region based on the current agriculture prediction and sending the agriculture prescription to one or more of the agriculture equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2018Publication date: September 20, 2018Inventors: Craig Eugene Rupp, A.
