  • Patent number: 10694686
    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.

  • Patent number: 10699185
    Abstract: Systems and method for computing yield values through a neural network from a plurality of different data inputs are disclosed. In an embodiment, a server computer system receives a particular dataset relating to one or more agricultural fields wherein the particular data set comprises particular crop identification data, particular environmental data, and particular management practice data. Using a first neural network, the server computer system computes a crop identification effect on crop yield from the particular crop identification data. Using a second neural network, the server computer system computes an environmental effect on crop yield from the particular environmental data. Using a third neural network, the server computer system computes a management practice effect on crop yield from the management practice data.

  • Publication number: 20190311170
    Abstract: A method and system for modeling trends in crop yields is provided. In an embodiment, the method comprises receiving, over a computer network, electronic digital data comprising yield data representing crop yields harvested from a plurality of agricultural fields and at a plurality of time points; in response to receiving input specifying a request to generate one or more particular yield data: determining one or more factors that impact yields of crops that were harvested from the plurality of agricultural fields; decomposing the yield data into decomposed yield data that identifies one or more data dependencies according to the one or more factors; generating, based on the decomposed yield data, the one or more particular yield data; generating forecasted yield data or reconstructing the yield data by incorporating the one or more particular yield data into the yield data.
