Claim 11:
12. A system for determining and presenting an improved seeding rate recommendation for planting plant seeds in a field, the system comprising:
a server computer system configured to:
receive digital data representing planting parameters comprising information for a seed type and planting row width;
retrieve a set of digital seeding models from an electronic digital seeding data repository based upon the planting parameters, wherein the digital seeding models each contain a regression model defining, for the seed type, a relationship between plant yield and seeding rate at a specific field;
generate an empirical mixture model in digital computer memory based upon the digital seeding models, as a composite distribution of the digital seeding models;
generate a seeding rate distribution for the planting parameters, in the digital computer memory, based upon sampling of values from the empirical mixture model; and
calculate a seeding rate recommendation, for the planting parameters, based upon the seeding rate distribution; and

a planter apparatus configured to plant the specific field consistent with the seeding rate recommendation, in response to, at least in part, the seeding rate recommendation.
