Systems and methods are provided for allocating resources in harvest operations involving multiple fields and multiple pickers. One example computer-implemented method includes retrieving data specific to a harvest project and, for each of multiple stages for a site of the harvest project, determining, via a decision service, multiple potential allocations of the multiple pickers to fields of the site based on the retrieved data and one or more applicable constraints, advancing one or more of the potential allocations based on a determined parameter, and imposing at least one constraint consistent with ones of the one or more advanced potential allocations. The method then includes determining, via the decision service, at least one allocation of the multiple pickers to the multiple fields based on the retrieved data and one or more applicable constraints, compiling and storing a harvest plan for the harvest project, and implementing the harvest plan.

A method for producing seed corn from the corn plants, for use in growing subsequent corn plants, includes measuring a moisture content of corn kernels on ears of the corn plants in the field and removing, by a combine harvester, the ears of corn from the corn plants when the moisture content satisfies a threshold moisture content. The method then includes separating the corn kernels from cobs of the ears of corn onboard the combine harvester and collecting the separated corn kernels for use as seed corn, whereby one or more subsequent corn plants can be grown from the collected corn kernels.
