How do I calculate AI yield error for my crops?

Yield Error = (Actual Yield - Forecasted Yield) / Forecasted Yield. Plug in numbers post-harvest; spot patterns like low brassica outputs.

What data do I need to calibrate farm AI forecasts?

Log Actual Harvest Date, Yield Weight/Count, Bed/Plot ID, notes on pests or weather. Compare to AI predictions for timing and yield gaps.

Absolutely — farmers see 15-30% accuracy gains, compounding yearly. It's turning generic tools into your farm's brain.
