Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storage device including processor executable instructions to perform an operation comprising:
identifying, via image processing, a field in which a crop is grown;
identifying a plurality of regions within the field based on determining that locations within each respective region of the plurality of regions are predicted to produce similar crop yields;
identifying, for each respective region in the plurality of regions, a respective set of data collection points in the respective region by processing one or more growth metrics using a model, wherein the respective set of data collection points is identified as corresponding to typical locations in the respective region, based on multivariate analysis of growing conditions in the respective region;
receiving at a first time, in-field data linked to the sets of data collection points of the plurality of regions; and
predicting a yield for the crop in the field at a harvest time based on the in-field data at the first time.
