How does the tool account for late planting?

The tool uses `calculate_available_gdu` to apply a penalty for late planting, reducing the effective heat units available for development.

Can I estimate the cost of mechanical drying?

Yes, you can use the `estimate_drying_costs` tool to project costs based on expected moisture, target moisture, and volume.

What determines if a hybrid is viable?

Viability is determined by `evaluate_hybrid_fit`, which checks if the effective GDU available is sufficient for the hybrid's required GDU before the first frost.

This MCP server provides specialized decision support for corn producers. It calculates the thermal accumulation required for specific hybrids and compares it against available heat units in a given growing season. Use get_required_gdu to find the heat needed for a hybrid, calculate_available_gdu to determine the heat available in your field's location, and evaluate_hybrid_fit to check if a hybrid will reach maturity before the first frost. It also includes estimate_drying_costs to project financial impacts of harvesting at higher moisture levels.
