Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method of determining and presenting an improved seeding rate recommendation for planting plant seeds in a field, the method comprising:
using seeding query logic in a server computer system, receiving digital data representing planting parameters comprising information for a seed type and planting row width;
using the seeding query logic, retrieving a set of multiple digital seeding models from an electronic digital seeding data repository based upon the planting parameters, wherein the multiple digital seeding models each include a regression model defining, for the seed type, a relationship between plant yield and seeding rate at a specific field;
using mixture model logic in the server computer system, generating an empirical mixture model in digital computer memory as a composite distribution of the multiple digital seeding models;
using the mixture model logic, generating a seeding rate distribution for the planting parameters, in the digital computer memory, based upon a sampling of values from the empirical mixture model;
using optimal seeding rate recommendation logic in the server computer system, calculating a seeding rate recommendation, for the planting parameters, based upon the seeding rate distribution; and
planting, by a planter apparatus in communication with the server computer system, plant seeds in the specific field consistent with the seeding rate recommendation.
