A memory embodies instructions, and a processor is coupled to the memory and is operative by the instructions to facilitate: accessing a source of information regarding farm cultivation techniques; constructing a cultivation knowledge graph by parsing the source of information regarding farm cultivation techniques, using natural language processing; identifying cultivation quality assessment factors by applying machine learning to the cultivation knowledge graph; estimating quality of a farm cultivation task by comparing a stream of real-time data to the cultivation quality assessment factors, wherein the stream of real-time data is related to performance of the farm cultivation task; identifying from the stream of real-time data, using the cultivation knowledge graph, a controllable variable that affects the quality of the farm cultivation task; and improving the quality of the farm cultivation task by facilitating a change in the controllable variable. The controllable variable may be the identity of a tractor operator.
