> **From:** Valentina Reyes <valentina@fincaesperanza.co> > **Subject:** Yield prediction for our farms > > Hi, > > I run a specialty coffee export business in Huila, Colombia. Twelve farms, direct export to roasters in Europe, Japan, US. My problem is simple: I need to know how much coffee my farms will produce before I commit to contracts. > > I have two years of daily sensor data from all twelve farms -- temperature, rainfall, soil moisture, humidity -- plus harvest records (kilos of cherry per farm per harvest). Two harvests per year here. > > I've attached the dataset. It's a CSV with one row per farm per day for sensor readings, and a separate file with harvest totals per farm per harvest period. > > I want a model that predicts yield per farm for the next harvest based on the sensor data. My current method is "look at last year" and it's wrong a third of the time. > > Budget and timeline: I need this working before my next round of contract negotiations in about six weeks. > > - Valentina **Suggested message button options:** 1. "Hi Valentina, I'll start by looking at the sensor data and harvest records. A few questions -- have there been any changes to the farms or sensors in the past two years?" 2. "Got it. Before I build anything, I need to understand the data. Can you tell me more about the growing seasons and when your harvests happen?" 3. "I've read your email and have the datasets. I'll profile the data first and come back with an analysis plan."
