Generating digital models of crop yield based on crop planting dates and relative maturity values

A computer-implemented method for improving performance of a computing system used to model potential crop yield, the method comprising:

• storing, at a server computer system, a model of potential crop yield, the model of potential crop yield comprising generated digital modeling data used to compute potential crop yield;
• computing, from the model of potential crop yield, a particular potential crop yield for a particular field;
• receiving, over a network at the server computer system, electronic digital data comprising a plurality of values representing trial data at a plurality of fields;
• receiving, over the network at the server computer system, electronic digital data comprising a plurality of values representing observed agricultural events at the plurality of fields;
• computing a modeled crop yield for each field of the plurality of fields based, at least in part, on the trial data, the observed agricultural events, and the model of potential crop yield;
• receiving, over the network at the server computer system, electronic digital data comprising a plurality of values representing an observed crop yield for each field of the plurality of fields;
• and
• generating an updated model of potential crop yield based, at least in part, on the modeled crop yield for each field of the plurality of fields and the observed crop yield for each field of the plurality of fields.
