The Crop Season Planning tool is a climate-based tool that enables growers to plan planting strategies that will minimize risk to climate extremes based on historical climate data at their location. Written by Caroline G. Staub, Daniel Perondi, Diego Noleto Luz Pequeno, Patrick Troy, Michael J. Mulvaney, Calvin Perry, Brian Hayes, Willingthon Pavan, and Clyde W. Fraisse, and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, March 2018. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ae525

While the SECC has pursued this mission with a focus on seasonal climate since 1998, in response to stakeholder interest we began developing climate change information to support decision making in 2007. In this
Predictability of seasonal climate variability associated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation (... more Predictability of seasonal climate variability associated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) suggests a potential to reduce farm risk by selecting crop insurance products with the purpose of increasing farm income stability. A hypothetical 50% peanut, 50% cotton, non−irrigated, 40 ha (100 ac) north Florida farm was used to study the interactions of different crop insurance products with ENSO−based climate information and levels of risk aversion under uncertain conditions of climate and prices. Crop yields simulated by the DSSAT suite of crop models using multi-year weather data combined with historical series of prices were used to generate long series of stochastic income distributions in a whole−farm model portfolio. The farm model optimized planting dates and simulated uncertain incomes for 50 alternative crop insurance combinations for different levels of risk aversion under different planning horizons. Results suggested that incomes are greatest and most stable for lo...
