  • Patent number: 11930743
    Abstract: Methods are provided for improving performance of a computing system used to model potential crop yield. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes generating a model of potential crop yield, as a function of planting date and relative maturity based, at least in part, on one or more relative maturity maps, one or more planting date maps, and one or more actual production history maps, and storing the model in a memory of the server computer system. The method also includes receiving, via an interface at a field manager computing device, a selection of a particular field and computing, from the model of potential crop yield, a potential yield for the particular field based, at least in part, on a planting date for the particular field, a relative maturity value, and values representing actual production history for the particular field.

  • Publication number: 20240008390
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing agricultural activities in a field region. In one example, a computer-implemented method includes identifying temperature grids for the field region, and identifying weather stations for the temperature grids. Each weather station is located at a weather station location in the temperature grids. The computer-implemented method also includes computing weight values based on the weather station locations of the weather stations, such that the weather stations that are more proximate to their respective grids have higher weights than weather stations that are less proximate to their respective grids, and receiving temperature readings from the weather stations. The computer-implemented method then includes computing a plurality of weighted temperatures based on the weight values, computing field condition data for the field region based on the weighted temperatures, and determining at least one field activity for the field region based on the field condition data.

  • Patent number: 11375674
    Abstract: A method for generating digital models of potential crop yield based on planting date, relative maturity, and actual production history is provided. In an embodiment, data representing historical planting dates, relative maturity values, and crop yield is received by an agricultural intelligence computer system. Based on the historical data, the system generates spatial and temporal maps of planting dates, relative maturity, and actual production history. Using the maps, the system creates a model of potential yield that is dependent on planting date and relative maturity. The system may then receive actual production history data for a particular field. Using the received actual production history data, a particular planting date, and a particular relative maturity value, the agricultural intelligence computer system computes a potential yield for a particular field.
