Benefits of technology
[0008] A further objective, feature, or advantage of the present invention is to assist producers in selecting the best seed product for a particular location.
[0011] Yet another object, feature, or advantage of the present invention is to provide additional incentives to producers for selecting seeds products for a particular location with a greater likelihood of performance.
Problems solved by technology
Thus, a producer may be weary of genetically superior seed products which, even though would increase performance over alternatives, have an associated premium price.
Where a producer is using less productive ground they simply may not be able to justify the premium price.

Embodiment Construction
[0037] The present invention provides for computer-implemented methods and related methods which tie compensation received for seed products to actual performance of the seed product within a particular field (or other land base) or to expected performance of the seed product within a particular field or other land base. The present invention may use environmental classification and / or an understanding of genotype-by-environment interactions to evaluate the land base and / or determine the compensation for the seed product. Thus, seed can be recommended to, sold to, and / or provided to a producer where the compensation for or price of the seed is determined based upon performance-expected performance or actual performance.
[0038] Where the performance is actual performance, it may be audited in order to, among other things, verify the use of the seed within the particular land base. In other words, if compensation is tied to performance of a particular field, some form of auditing is n...

Abstract
An agricultural input supplier can provide seed products by tying the compensation received for the seed products to an evaluation of the land base on which the seed products are to be planted and / or the performance of the seed products on the land base. The evaluation of the land base may be based on environmental classification and / or genotype-by-environment data. In addition to tying the compensation to the land quality and the seed performance, this approach to providing seed allows for recommendations to be made to the producer regarding which seed products should be used on the land base. The performance of the seed product on the land base may also be verified.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of a provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 689,716 filed Jun. 10, 2005, which application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention provides for computer-implemented methods and related methods which apply a performance-based pricing model to the selling of seed products [0003] The productivity of ground can vary significantly, from fertile ground with a desirable actual production history (APH) to lower quality ground with a poor performance history. Producers planting on less productive ground have a greater need to keep the cost of agricultural inputs, such as seed, as low as possible. Thus, a producer may be weary of genetically superior seed products which, even though would increase performance over alternatives, have an associated premium price. Where a producer is using less productive ground they simply may no...
