Abstract

under highly uncertain conditions.' Since precipitation is a major factor in yield uncertainty, resource allocation could be materially improved if allocated on the basis of yield-precipitation relationships. Objectives of this paper are (1) to present a brief description of methodology used to develop yield-precipitation relationships and (2) to demonstrate how these relationships may be used to develop resource allocation strategies for the Corn Belt-Great Plains transition area. This paper is based on a study of two crops in Boone County, Nebraska-winter wheat and corn. Crops were selected because of their historical importance in the area and because of their cultural differences. Boone County was selected because of its location within the transition area.
