Crop yield tools are designed to help users investigate the effects of climate on crop yield and development. They are based both on historical yield records and crop model simulations.

County Yield Statistics

Crop yield series, trends and residuals at the county level

Planting Date Planner

Probability of low, medium, and high yields based
on planting dates

Crop Season Planning

Plan your crop season based on phenological stages
date ranges with extreme weather events probabilities
