Abstract:
1. A method comprising: ingesting, as input data, weather information and crop-specific information for a crop to be harvested, and field-specific information for a location where an agricultural commodity is planted, the weather information including recent and current field-level weather data and extended-range weather forecast data, and the crop-specific information including at least one of crop type data and harvest data that at least includes a temporal harvest window; modeling the input data in a plurality of data processing modules within a computing environment in which the plurality of data processing modules are executed in conjunction with at least one processor, the data processing modules configured to profile expected costs of forced-air or fuel-based mechanical drying of a crop due to early harvest, and expected costs of crop yield loss due to susceptibility of in-field crop to adverse weather, by generating, as output data, one or more advisories representing a risk assessment of drying costs and costs from crop yield loss in a harvest output condition profile.
