I need assistance or understanding of how I can the following from a 1-acre potato farm.
1.Yield estimation ( simple model)
2.Understand what the output is of the product, what would be the probable target yield rate per day/week.
3.The would be the rate of perishability expected at the point of collection. How many days of shelf life is expected of the product at regular ambient temperatures?
4.The risk factors of the product, things to look out for? Accessibility, yield rates, fragility, diseases.

1) Collect all potatoes in a fixed area and weigh them (individually or collectively depending on what sort of data you need). That will give you yield per square meter, and multiply by however many square meters are in an acre, hectare, or other unit of land area. Measuring by potato might be useful if you are going to include crop value and there are different returns for different grades of potato.
2) Unless harvest is on a continual cycle, harvest is usually measured for a season. With crop rotation to minimize pest problems I am only familiar with a field producing a single crop a year (possibly every other year). As such yield per week does not make any sense.
3) Easily measured at harvest, and by taking a sample that you store using standard commercial methods and periodically assess rot.
4) You can use #3 to start a database of diseases in your area. I would also suggest talking to local growers and processing facilities to get a broader sample of the diseases in your area.
