You know earlier and more precisely what quantities to expect per field. You plan forward contracts, storage space, harvest workers and contractors based on a reasoned range instead of judging by eye at the field edge.

Is this for you?

  • You have yield data per field over several years, for example from yield mapping, weighbridge tickets or field records.
  • You already use satellite images, drone images or a weather station, or want to start.
  • You sell part of the harvest through forward contracts and want to reduce the risk of a wrong estimate.
First step today

For one field and one crop, collect the yields of recent years, plus a vegetation index from satellite images at the same point in the year and the rainfall. Have a yield range for this year estimated with the template below and compare it with your own estimate.

How to go about it

  1. Define crops, fields and timing of the estimate
  2. Gather yields, images and weather data
  3. Have a yield range calculated for each field
  4. Compare with yield and sample cuts
  5. Plan harvest, storage and forward contracts accordingly
  6. Update after every harvest
