I’ve always wondered if there’s a way to actually predict this kind of stuff, like make forecasts and all that. Not talking about surprise stuff like a sudden frost wiping everything out. But like, when the weather’s normal for the season, is it possible to tell how big the harvest will be?

Yeah, makes sense. I think it used to be really hard to guess how good the harvest season would be, and you could only make a guess based on past experience and the usual seasonal weather. Now there’s satellite monitoring like on this website, and with the pictures and data from it, I’m sure agronomists have a much easier time controlling crop yield and quality.
