Patent number: 12020177Abstract: Embodiments generate digital plans for agricultural fields. In an embodiment, a model receives digital inputs including stress risk data, product maturity data, field location data, planting date data, and/or harvest date data. The model mathematically correlates sets of digital inputs with threshold data associated with the stress risk data. The model is used to generate stress risk prediction data for a set of product maturity and field location combinations. In a digital plan, product maturity data or planting date data or harvest date data or field location data can be adjusted based on the stress risk prediction data. A digital plan can be transmitted to a field manager computing device. An agricultural apparatus can be moved in response to a digital plan.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2021Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: CLIMATE LLCInventors: Shilpa Sood, Matthew Sorge, Nikisha Shah, Timothy Reich, Herbert Ssegane, Jason Kendrick Bull, Tonya S. Ehlmann, Morrison Jacobs, Susan Andrea Macisaac, Bruce J. Schnicker, Yao Xie, Allan Trapp, Xiao Yang

Patent number: 11562444Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating a set of target hybrid seeds with optimal yield and risk performance, including a server receiving a candidate set of hybrid seeds along with probability of successful yield values, associated historical agricultural data and property information, and selecting a subset of the hybrid seeds that have probability of success values greater than a filtering threshold. The server generates representative yield values for hybrid seeds based on the historical agricultural data and risk values for each hybrid seed. The server generates a dataset of target hybrid seeds for planting based on the risk values, the yield values, and the properties for the target fields. The dataset of target hybrid seeds includes target hybrid seeds that meet a specific threshold for a range of risk values. The server causes display of the dataset of target hybrid seeds including yield values and risk values for the target fields.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2017Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: CLIMATE LLCInventors: Timothy Reich, Xiao Yang, Matthew Sorge, Tonya S Ehlmann, Jason Kendrick Bull, Bruce J.
