Harvest forecast

How many stems will be cut next week — and how well it has guessed.

Section 2 of 8First, whether the forecast works; then how many stems each block will give next week.

The forecast misses less than both rules of thumb

Over the last 52 weeks, block by block, it missed by 10 in 100 stems; the same week last year, by 12; last week's cut, by 14.

How it forecasts. The block's average over its last four weeks, times how much its color moved that same week last year. Simple on purpose: it can be explained in a meeting and checked. What it doesn't do: guess a hailstorm.

The range comes from how far short the cut fell of the forecast in the 26 weeks before the test. Offering “the most likely” leaves you short half the weeks.
