Comparative assessment of environmental variables and machine learning algorithms for maize yield prediction in the US Midwest

Crop yield estimates over large areas are conventionally made using weather observations, but a comprehensive understanding of the effects of various environmental indicators, observation frequency, and the choice of prediction algorithm remains elusive. Here we present a thorough assessment of coun...
