Abstract : Chippewa Valley Bean, located in Wisconsin, USA, is the world’s largest processor of dark red kidney beans and works with farmers over several states. Current trends in farming are pressuring producers to generate higher yields with fewer resources, particularly water resources. This project describes our work creating ODE models that describe the relationship between irrigation inputs, soil parameters, and kidney bean yields that CVB can use to advise farmers for productive yet sustainable practices.
