Claim One:
1. A method comprising: ingesting, as input data, weather information, crop-specific information for a stored grains crop, and grain storage facility information, the weather information including recent and current field-level weather data and extended-range weather forecast data for a specific geographical location, the crop-specific information including a desired time-of-sale moisture content level and at least one of crop type data, crop post-maturity dry-down characteristics, crop airflow characteristics, and targeted crop moisture or temperature thresholds, and the grain storage facility information including at least one of grain storage facility dimensions data, and grain storage facility airflow data; 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 a re-moistening of a stored grain crop relative to its actual moisture content and the impact of time-varying weather conditions on returning its moisture content to the desired time-of-sale level, by 1) diagnosing and predicting expected weather conditions impacting the re-moistening of the stored grains crop at a specific location, and 2) applying the expected weather conditions, the crop-specific information, and the grain storage facility information to an agricultural model of one or more physical and empirical characteristics impacting the moisture content of the stored grains crop to simulate re-moistening of the stored grains crop to the desired time-of-sale level at specific times and predict a rate of moisture change over time to achieve the re-moistening of the stored grains crop to the desired time-of-sale level; and generating, as output data, the predicted rate of moisture change over time in a harvest output condition profile.
