1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, that information associated with a geographical area that includes growing crops indicates deficient stand within the geographical area, wherein the information associated with the geographical area comprises at least one of field data and crop data; and
outputting, by the computing device and in response to determining that the information associated with the geographical area indicates deficient stand within the geographical area, at least one notification comprising an indication that the information associated with the geographical area indicates deficient stand.

Abstract
A computer-based system for combining data related to stand population, consistency and quality in agricultural crops and dynamically analyzing the data whereby stand determinations based on that analysis during a crop growing season can be made. The system is programmed to alert a user (farmer) or other designated parties when the stand fails to meet user-defined parameters.

19. A device comprising:
-
at least one processor; and one or more storage devices encoded with instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to; determine that data associated with growing crops indicates a lack of expected vegetative growth of the growing crops, wherein the data associated with the growing crops comprises at least one of field data and crop data; and output, in response to determining that the data associated with the growing crops indicates the lack of expected vegetative growth, at least one stand alert including an indication of the lack of expected vegetative growth.

20. A system comprising:
-
a computer device comprising at least one processor; and a stand analyzer and alert generator executable by the at least one processor of the computer device and configured to; identify that data for a field of growing crops indicates a stand deficiency of a portion of the field of growing crops, wherein the portion of the field of growing crops comprises less than all of the field of growing crops; generate, in response to identifying that the data for the field of cropping crops indicates the stand deficiency of the portion of the field of growing crops, a notification comprising an indication of the stand deficiency; and transmit, in response to generating the notification, the notification via a communications network.
