Data from: Topographic position index predicts within-field yield variation in a dryland cereal production system

Published by Agricultural Research Service | Department of Agriculture | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 11:48 PM | Dataset Last Updated: November 21, 2025
We investigated drivers of sub-field spatial variability in yield for 3 crops (hard red winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L. variety Langin; corn, Zea mays L.; and proso millet, Panicum milaceum L.) usings this multi-year dataset from a dryland research farm in northeastern Colorado, USA. The dataset spanned 18 2.6-4.3 ha management units collected over 4 years (2019-2022). The data includes high resolution topographic data collected via real-time kinematic GPS, densely sampled soil texture and chemical properties, and meteorological data from an on-site weather station.
