Mapping Agricultural Decision Making across the U.S. Corn Belt

Abstract

<p>Decision calendars help identify opportunities for inserting climate information into a decision process as well as points where other considerations might overrule use of the climate information. Developers of decision calendars are challenged, though, by a potentially infinite number of modifications required to address spatial variability in agricultural decision making. Variability in climate, soils, and agricultural production systems across a region may result in deviations in decision-making times.</p>
