1. A method comprises:
- based at least in part on resource availability of a fleet of farming equipment, determining an agricultural prescription for achieving an expected performance level by the fleet of farming equipment, and allocating, by a computing device, a plurality of tasks of the agricultural prescription for a farming geographic area to a first resource of the fleet of farming equipment;
transmitting the plurality of tasks of the agricultural prescription to a computer device controlling the first resource of the fleet of farming equipment and causing displaying the plurality of tasks on the computer device;
while the first resource of the fleet of farming equipment is executing tasks of the plurality of tasks, gathering current weather information;
based on the current weather information, determining whether current weather is adversely affecting execution of one or more tasks of the plurality of tasks or may adversely affect future execution of the one or more tasks of the plurality of tasks;
in response to determining that the current weather is adversely affecting, or may adversely affect, execution of the one or more tasks of the plurality of tasks, to minimize adverse effects of the current weather, automatically updating, by the computing device, at least one task of the plurality of tasks of the agricultural prescription.

Abstract
A method begins by a computing device allocating a plurality of tasks of an agricultural prescription for a farming geographic area to a fleet of farming equipment. While executing tasks of the plurality of tasks, the method continues with at least some of the fleet of farming equipment collecting task execution data. Based on the task execution data, the method continues with the computing device updating at least one of the agricultural prescription, the plurality of tasks, and the allocation of at least one task of the plurality of tasks.

10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprises:
-
at least one memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices affiliated with agriculture equipment of a computing system, causes the one or more computing devices to; based at least in part on resource availability of a fleet of farming equipment, determine an agricultural prescription for achieving an expected performance level by the fleet of farming equipment, and allocate, by a computing device, a plurality of tasks of the agricultural prescription for a farming geographic area to a first resource of the fleet of farming equipment; transmit the plurality of tasks of the agricultural prescription to a computer device controlling the first resource of the fleet of farming equipment and cause displaying the plurality of tasks on the computer device; while the first resource of the fleet of farming equipment is executing tasks of the plurality of tasks, gathering current weather information;
