Abstract: A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.

Abstract: The generation of a web site preview based on client presentation state of the client that will render the web site preview. Upon a service receiving a request to provide preview data for a web site preview corresponding to a web site identifier, the service determines client presentation state of the client(s) that is or are to render a web site preview using preview data that is to be provided in response to the request. The service selects a preview template at least in part based on the determined client presentation state. The service also populates the selected preview template with content from the web site to thereby generate preview data representing a preview of the web site identified by the web site identifier. The preview data is thus tailored to the presentation state of the client.
