    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.

  • Publication number: 20230351226
    Abstract: An example computer-implemented method includes receiving agricultural data records comprising a first set of yield properties for a first set of seeds grown in a first set of environments, and receiving genetic feature data related to a second set of seeds. The method further includes generating a second set of yield properties for the second set of seeds associated with a second set of environments by applying a model using the genetic feature data and the agricultural data records. In addition, the method includes determining predicted yield performance for a third set of seeds associated with one or more target environments by applying the second set of yield properties, and generating seed recommendations for the one or more target environments based on the predicted yield performance for the third set of seeds. In the present example, the method also includes causing display of the seed recommendations.

  • Publication number: 20230177622
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a set of target seeds with optimal yield and risk performance. One example computer-implemented method includes generating, by a server, representative yield values for a group of seeds based on historical agricultural data, generating a dataset of risk values for the seeds, and generating a dataset of target seeds from the seeds for planting in one or more target fields based on: the dataset of risk values, the representative yield values, and properties for the target field(s). The method also includes generating, by the server, allocation instructions for the target seeds included in the dataset of target seeds, where the allocation instructions are indicative of, for each target seed, a planting quantity for the target seed and a planting location for the target seed within the target field(s).

    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.

    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.
