Scientists have developed a new tool that can predict crop yields in the Southeastern United States. This tool, which combines data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), could help farmers in the region make more informed decisions about crop management.

The research team, which was led by University of Georgia, Athens, created a crop-specific model that used data from both NOAA and USDA to predict crop yields in the Southeastern United States. The model was tested on corn, cotton, peanuts, and soybeans, and showed that it could accurately predict crop yields with an accuracy of up to 85%. The researchers hope that this tool can be used to provide farmers in the region with valuable information to help them manage their crops and maximize their yields.
