Yield Goals

There are many options to set yield goals for a field.

The following section describes how to set yield goals using:

  • Zones

  • Flat Rate

  • Yield Data

  • Yield by SSURGO

  • Second Year Crop

Set Yield Goals by Zone

To set yield goals by zone, click Use Zones. Simply enter the desired yield goal into the box for each zone. The field average yield goal will be displayed in the box labeled Average. Adjust the field average by clicking the + or – buttons. Users also have the option to enter yield goals by using the following buttons:

By Formula – Allows the user to enter a percentage of the average yield goal set using the Fill button. Each zone will use the formula to calculate the yield goal for each zone. For example, 50% = .5.

Fill – Enter a yield goal into the Fill box to use the same yield goal for all zones.

Last Year YG – Uses the yield goals from the last time the selected field had a prescription built for it of the same crop.

Last Field YG – Uses the yield goals from the last written prescription of the same crop.

Clear All – Clears all yield goals on the field.

Set a Flat Rate Yield Goal

To set the same yield goal for the entire field, click Flat Rate and enter the yield goal for the field.

Set Yield Goals using Yield Data

1. Click Zone Yield.

2. Select the year of yield data that you would like to use (If multiple years are available you can select multiple and Calculate Normalization to normalize the yield data)

3. Select Apply Yield.

4. Your yield goals will populate based of the yield data you selected.

5. Yield goals can also be set by subzone the same way as zone’s you just select Sub-Zone Yield instead of Zone Yield.

Set Yield Goals by SSURGO

To set Yield Goals by SSURGO, click Yield by SSURGO. Simply enter the desired yield goal into the box for each soil type.

Second Year Crop Yield Goals
