Forecast and Assessment of Cropping sysTemS (FACTS)
What We Do
We provide decision support tools to benchmark weather and soil (water and nitrogen) conditions, determine corn harvest date, soybean planting date and maturity choices.
Why We Do It
- To provide information at scale to assist decision-making
- To improve the science behind predictive tools
How We Do It
We combine public data (soils, weather) and field experiment data with simulation modeling (APSIM) and advanced analytics (ML, ArcGIS, Phyton, R) to perform benchmarking and prediction across scales.
