Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method of determining supply of hybrid seeds based on hybrid seed placement prescriptions, comprising:
receiving, over a digital data communication network at an agricultural intelligence computer system associated with a production site of hybrid seeds, a dataset of candidate hybrid seeds for planting on one or more target fields, the dataset of candidate hybrid seeds comprising data regarding a plurality of hybrid seeds, probability of success values associated with each of the plurality of hybrid seeds that describe a probability of a successful yield, and a historical yield data for each of the plurality of hybrid seeds over multiple years, the historical yield data including a plurality of yield values, the agricultural intelligence computer system coupled in communication with an agricultural apparatus;
receiving, over the digital data communication network, one or more properties for one or more target fields;
selecting, by the agricultural intelligence computer system, a subset of the plurality of hybrid seeds based on the probabilities of success values associated with each of the plurality of hybrid seeds;
generating, by the agricultural intelligence computer system, a representative yield value for each of the hybrid seeds in the subset of the plurality of hybrid seeds based on the historical yield data, the representative yield value including an average of yields from multiple different growing seasons of the hybrid seed;
generating, by the agricultural intelligence computer system, risk values for the subset of the plurality of hybrid seeds, from the historical yield data, based on i) year-to-year yield variability of the yield values for the subset of the plurality of hybrid seeds over multiple years and ii) field-to-field variability of the yield values for the subset of the plurality of hybrids seeds, per year, over the multiple years;
selecting, by the agricultural intelligence computer system, a list of target hybrid seeds, from the subset of the plurality of hybrid seeds, for planting on the one or more target fields based on the risk values and the representative yield values for the subset of the plurality of hybrid seeds, relative to a frontier curve threshold representative of yield versus risk; and then
generating, by the agricultural intelligence computer system, a prescription related to planting the list of target hybrid seeds in the one or more target fields for a next period;
determining, by the agricultural intelligence computer system, a safety stock for the list of target hybrid seeds for the next period with respect to a supply chain based on the prescription; and
planting, by the agricultural apparatus, controlled by a cab computer, the list of target hybrid seeds in the one or more target fields consistent at least with the determined safety stock.
