Systems and methods for use in identifying weights to be employed in a selection algorithm associated with plant advancement are disclosed. One example method includes identifying a start set of weights for a selection algorithm associated with a breeding program, and for each scale parameter value in a schedule, and for each of N iterations, modifying the start set of weights based on the scale parameter value, identifying a set of germplasm based on at least the modified set of weights, advancing the modified set of weights to a next iteration as the start set of weights when certain criteria are satisfied, and identifying the modified set of weights as an output when the iteration is equal to N.

A routing processor implements a multi-stage prescriptive routing model engine based on harvest input data relating to the harvesting of crops at a plurality of locations by a plurality of combines and based on a harvest characteristic representing an attribute of the crops to be harvested by the combines. The multi-stage prescriptive routing model engine generates a combine routing program prescribing the movement of each combine between the locations and includes a demand stage configured to identify combine harvesting demand as a function of the harvest input data and the harvest characteristic and a scheduling stage configured to generate the combine routing program as a function of the harvesting demand.
