Building Better Yield Forecasts with Farm Data

Crop yield forecasting isn't new, but the information used to build them has changed. Today, field observations and grower experience can be combined with satellite imagery, weather data and historical records to provide a more complete view of expected production.   In this episode, Dr. Karl Wyant is joined by Megan Nunes, founder and CEO of Bountiful, to explore what goes into crop yield forecasting and how forecasting can support budgeting, cash flow and other planning and business decisions before harvest.   They discuss how satellite imagery and other farm data are combined through machine learning to forecast yields in specialty crops, how forecasts evolve as new information becomes available and why connecting data from across the operation can make it more useful for planning.   Looking for the latest in crop nutrition research?
