## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for agricultural decision-making. It allows AI agents to calculate total installation costs using `analyze_installation_costs`, predict annual revenue gains through `estimate_yield_benefits`, and determine long-term financial viability with `calculate_investment_metrics`. By modeling the relationship between drainage density, soil productivity, and capital investment, it helps farmers and agronomists evaluate the payback period and ROI of subsurface drainage projects.

## Tools

### analyze_installation_costs
Calculates the total capital required to install the drainage system per unit of land

### calculate_investment_metrics
Determines the long-term financial viability and recovery timeframe of the project

### estimate_yield_benefits
Predicts the annual financial gain resulting from improved drainage and soil conditions

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the total cost to install drainage on a 50 hectare field with 15m spacing, 1.2m depth, $10/m pipe cost, and $5/m installation cost?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total project cost for the 50 hectare field is $16,666.67, with a cost per hectare of $333.33.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
If my drainage system costs $20,000 and provides $5,000 in annual yield benefits, what is my payback period?
```

**Response:** 
```
The payback period for this investment is 4 years.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the annual yield benefit for a 10% increase in corn yield at $5.00 per bushel for 200 bushels per hectare.
```

**Response:** 
```
The annual yield value is $1,100.00, assuming a trafficability factor of 1.1.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the total cost of my drainage project?**
You can use the `analyze_installation_costs` tool. Provide the tile spacing, depth, cost per meter, installation labor cost, and the total area in hectares to get the total project cost.

**Can this tool help me understand the payback period?**
Yes. After calculating costs and yield benefits, use `calculate_investment_metrics` to determine the exact number of years required to recover your investment.

**Does the tool account for improved field access?**
Yes, the `estimate_yield_benefits` tool includes a trafficability factor to account for the value of improved field access and better timing for operations.
