• Setting the yield goal as a manual entry in your user-created Fertility calculator

  • Yield Goals can be calculated using other layers such as MYYA layers and associated attributes.

Examples:

Note: 

• Setting a YieldTarget as an attribute is more customizable, but requires time. 
• Setting the Yield at the cropzone level customizes the yield to a particular field and is quicker, but is just a flat yield for the field. 
• Setting the Yield in your calculator is a little more customizable, but requires knowledge of calculators and how to incorporate them into your script.
• Setting the Yield goal using the expression in a script is customizable, but we have to be sure all fields have the appropriate attribute the expression is guided towards.
• There are several options as detailed or general as you would need.
