  • Publication number: 20230363305
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for improving crop yield in fields includes accessing data representative of predicted performance of seeds for a field and creating an experiment for the field based on the predicted performance of the seeds. The experiment includes a specific prescription to plant the seeds in the field. The method also includes transmitting the prescription to a planter and/or a harvester associated with the field and collecting, in real time, planting data for the seeds as the seeds are planted in the field and harvesting data for a crop grown in the field from the planted seeds. The method further includes validating that execution of the experiment in the field is consistent with the prescription and generating a recommendation based on a comparison of the collected harvesting data for the crop grown in the field to the predicted performance of the seeds included in the prescription.

  • Publication number: 20230368112
    Abstract: A system for implementing a trial a field is provided. In an embodiment, the system is configured to generate a trial recommendation for a field and, based on field data for the field, compute a yield probabilities for the field. The system is also configured to generate a plurality of outcome-based values for the field based on the yield probabilities, compute crop values for each of the outcome-based values and a bushel per acre value, and cause display of an interface that dynamically displays each of the plurality of outcome-based values for the field based on a selected bushel per acre value. The system is further configured to receive user input changing a position of an interactive sliding widget in the interface, to change the bushel per acre value, and in response, compute a crop value for each of the outcome-based values based on the changed bushel per acre value.

  • Patent number: 11707016
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of targeting grower fields for crop yield lift is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, by a processor, crop seeding rate data and corresponding crop yield data over a period of time regarding a group of fields associated with a plurality of grower devices; receiving, by the processor, a current seeding rate for a grower's field associated with one of a plurality of grower devices; determining, whether the grower's field will be responsive to increasing a crop seeding rate for the grower's field from the current seeding rate to a target seeding rate based on the crop seeding rate data and corresponding crop yield data; preparing, in response to determining that the grower's field will be responsive, a prescription including a new crop seeding rate and a specific hybrid to be implemented in the grower's field.

  • Patent number: 11631040
    Abstract: A system for implementing a trial in one or more fields is provided. In an embodiment, an agricultural intelligence computing system receives field data for a plurality of agricultural fields. Based, at least in part, on the field data for the plurality of agricultural fields, the agricultural intelligence computing system identifies one or more target agricultural fields. The agricultural intelligence computing system sends, to a field manager computing device associated with the one or more target agricultural fields, a trial participation request. The server receives data indicating acceptance of the trial participation request from the field manager computing device. The server determines one or more locations on the one or more target agricultural fields for implementing a trial and sends data identifying the one or more locations to the field manager computing device.

  • Publication number: 20210342719
    Abstract: 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.
