Average estimated yields and associated CV values for current (2018) model runs. Based on work done by Harsimran Kaur et al in 2017. The following is from her thesis: Agro-ecological classes (AECs) of dryland cropping systems in the inland Pacific Northwest have been predicted to become more dynamic with greater use of annual fallow under projected climate change. At the same time, initiatives are being taken by growers either to intensify or diversify their cropping systems using oilseed and grain legume crops. The main objective of this study was to use a mechanistic model (CropSyst) to provide yield and soil water forecasts at regional scales which could compare fallow versus spring crop choices (flex/opportunity crop). Model simulations were based on historic weather data (1981-2010) as well as combined with actual year weather data for simulations at pre-planting dates starting in Dec. for representative years. Yield forecasts of spring pea, canola and wheat were compared to yield simulations using only weather of the representative year via linear regression analysis to assess pre-plant forecasts. Crop yield projections on pre-plant forecast date of Feb 1st had higher R2 with yield simulated using actual years weather data and lower CVs across the region as compared to forecasts based on historic weather data and other pre-season forecast dates (Dec. 1st and Jan. 1st). Therefore, Feb. 1st was considered the most reliable time to predict yield and other relevant outputs such as available water forecasts on a regional scale. Regional forecast maps of predicted spring crop yields and CVs showed ranges of 1 to 4367 kg/ha and 11 to 293% for spring canola, 72 to 2646 kg/ha and 11 to 143% for spring pea and 39 to 5330 kg/ha and 11 to 158% for spring wheat across study region for a representative year. These data combined with predicted available water after fallow and following spring crop yield as well as estimates of winter wheat yield reduction would collectively serve as information contributing to decisions related to crop intensification and diversification.

Brazil's yield for soybeans was forecast to reach 3.71 metric tons per hectare by 2033. Ranking second was Colombia, with a soybean yield of 3.3 metric tons per hectare.

Idaho and Lebanon rely on potatoes as an economically important crop. NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), GNDVI (Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), SAVI (Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index), and MSAVI2 (Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index 2) indices were calculated from PlanetScope satellite imagery for the 2017 growing season cloud free days. Variations in vegetation health were tracked over time and correlated to yield data provided by growers in Idaho. Based on ordinary least squares regression an Idaho yield forecast model was developed. Vegetation response during the growth stage at which potato tubers were filling out was significant in predicting yield for both the Norkotah and Russet potato variety. This corresponded to a week with high recorded temperatures that impacted the health status of the crops. The yield forecasting model was validated with a cross validation approach and then applied to potato fields in Lebanon. The Idaho model successfully displayed yield variation in crops for Lebanon. Spectral indices along with field topography allow the prediction of yield based on the crop type and variety.

In December 2024, the yield on a 10-year U.S. Treasury note was **** percent, forecasted to decrease to reach **** percent by August 2025. Treasury securities are debt instruments used by the government to finance the national debt. Who owns treasury notes? Because the U.S. treasury notes are generally assumed to be a risk-free investment, they are often used by large financial institutions as collateral. Because of this, billions of dollars in treasury securities are traded daily. Other countries also hold U.S. treasury securities, as do U.S. households. Investors and institutions accept the relatively low interest rate because the U.S. Treasury guarantees the investment. Looking into the future Because these notes are so commonly traded, their interest rate also serves as a signal about the market’s expectations of future growth. When markets expect the economy to grow, forecasts for treasury notes will reflect that in a higher interest rate. In fact, one harbinger of recession is an inverted yield curve, when the return on 3-month treasury bills is higher than the ten-year rate. While this does not always lead to a recession, it certainly signals pessimism from financial markets.

Orchard Yield Forecast Cloud Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global Orchard Yield Forecast Cloud market size is estimated at USD 1.34 billion in 2024, with a robust growth trajectory expected throughout the forecast period. The market is projected to reach USD 5.21 billion by 2033, reflecting a remarkable CAGR of 16.2% from 2025 to 2033. This impressive growth is primarily driven by increasing adoption of precision agriculture technologies, growing demand for data-driven decision-making in orchard management, and the need to optimize yield and resource utilization in response to climate variability and labor shortages.

The rapid expansion of the Orchard Yield Forecast Cloud market is fundamentally fueled by the agriculture sector's digital transformation. Orchards worldwide are embracing cloud-based solutions to address the pressing need for accurate yield forecasts, which are critical for supply chain planning, resource allocation, and revenue optimization.

Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms is enhancing predictive capabilities, allowing orchard managers to anticipate yield fluctuations, identify disease outbreaks early, and optimize harvest timing. This technological convergence is creating a strong value proposition for orchard owners, driving widespread adoption across commercial and research-oriented settings.

Another significant growth factor is the rising global demand for high-quality fruit and nut produce, which is placing immense pressure on orchard operators to maximize output while maintaining sustainability. The Orchard Yield Forecast Cloud market is responding to this challenge by offering solutions that not only predict yields but also monitor crop health, soil conditions, and pest risks in real time. These platforms enable data-driven interventions that reduce input costs, minimize waste, and improve overall orchard profitability. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of climate-related uncertainties, such as droughts and unseasonal frosts, is compelling growers to invest in predictive analytics to safeguard their crops and ensure consistent supply to the market. As governments and industry bodies promote the adoption of smart agriculture, the market is poised for sustained expansion.

The evolution of regulatory frameworks and sustainability mandates is further accelerating market growth. Many countries are introducing policies that incentivize the use of precision agriculture tools to enhance food security and environmental stewardship. Cloud-based yield forecasting platforms are well-positioned to help orchard operators comply with these regulations by providing traceability, documentation, and reporting capabilities. Moreover, the scalability and flexibility of cloud solutions make them accessible to orchards of all sizes, including smallholders and cooperatives, thus democratizing access to advanced agricultural technology. As digital literacy among farmers improves and connectivity infrastructure expands, especially in emerging economies, the addressable market for Orchard Yield Forecast Cloud solutions is set to broaden significantly.

Context

A number of research is underway in the agricultural sector to better predict crop yield using machine learning algorithms. Many machine learning algorithms require large amounts of data in order to give useful results. One of the major challenges in training and experimenting with machine learning algorithms is the availability of training data in sufficient quality and quantity remains a limiting factor. In the paper, “Wild blueberry yield prediction using a combination of computer simulation and machine learning algorithms”, we used dataset generated by the Wild Blueberry Pollination Model, a spatially explicit simulation model validated by field observation and experimental data collected in Maine USA during the last 30 years. The blueberry yields predictive models require data that sufficiently characterize the influence of plant spatial traits, bee species composition, and weather conditions on production. In a multi-step process, we designed simulation experiments and conducted the runs on the calibrated version of the blueberry simulation model. The simulated dataset was then examined, and important features were selected to build four machine-learning-based predictive models. This simulated data provides researchers who have actual data collected from field observation and those who wants to experiment the potential of machine learning algorithms response to real data and computer simulation modelling generated data as input for crop yield prediction models.

Climate, nitrogen (N) and leaf area index (LAI) are key determinants of crop yield. N additions can enhance yield but must be managed efficiently to reduce pollution. Complex process models estimate N status by simulating soil-crop N interactions, but such models require extensive inputs that are seldom available. Through model-data fusion (MDF), we combine climate and LAI time-series with an intermediate-complexity model to infer leaf N and yield. The DALEC-Crop model was calibrated for wheat leaf N and yields across field experiments covering N applications ranging from 0 to 200 kg N ha-1 in Scotland, UK. Requiring daily meteorological inputs, this model simulates crop C cycle responses to LAI, N and climate. The model, which includes a leaf N-dilution function, was calibrated across N treatments based on LAI observations, and tested at validation plots. We showed that a single parameterization varying only in leaf N could simulate LAI development and yield across all treatments--the mean normalized root-mean-square-error (NRMSE) for yield was 10%. Leaf N was accurately retrieved by the model (NRMSE = 6%). Yield could also be reasonably estimated (NRMSE = 14%) if LAI data are available for assimilation during periods of typical N application (April and May). Our MDF approach generated robust leaf N content estimates and timely yield predictions that could complement existing agricultural technologies. Moreover, EO-derived LAI products at high spatial and temporal resolutions provides a means to apply our approach regionally. Testing yield predictions from this approach over agricultural fields is a critical next step to determine broader utility.
