arXiv:2609.26809v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable agricultural yield statistics are typically reported at coarse administrative scales, whereas modern geospatial machine learning methods require spatially explicit, pixel level supervision. This mismatch has limited the development of large-scale benchmarks for crop yield learning using multimodal Earth observation data. A reproducible benchmark, AgroBench, is presented for transforming publicly available U.S. county level crop yield statistics into weakly supervised pixel-level crop time series. Each crop pixel time series is paired with a county-level yield value as a weak supervisory signal rather than a directly measured pixel-level yield label. Our geospatial data generation pipeline integrates USDA crop yield statistics with crop-specific land cover masks, Sentinel 2 multispectral imagery, Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar observations, climatic variables, and terrain information to produce temporally aligned multimodal s...
