## Description

This MCP server provides precise modeling for hay drying in windrows. It uses thin-layer drying equations to calculate the `get_current_drying_rate` based on environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and wind speed. Users can `estimate_baling_window` to predict when hay will reach safe moisture levels, `calculate_quality_loss` to quantify nutritional degradation, `predict_rain_risk` to evaluate precipitation threats, and `get_optimal_conditioning` for management recommendations.

## Tools

### get_current_drying_rate
Calculates the immediate speed of moisture loss under current conditions

### get_optimal_conditioning
Recommends the ideal state for hay management to balance speed and quality

### predict_rain_risk
Evaluates the danger of moisture re-absorption due to upcoming weather events

### estimate_baling_window
Predicts how much time remains until the hay reaches the safe baling threshold

### calculate_quality_loss
Quantifies the loss in nutritional value and weight due to biological respiration

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the current drying rate for hay with 25% moisture and 5cm swath density at 25°C, 50% humidity, and 15km/h wind?
```

**Response:** 
```
The current drying rate is 1.2% moisture per hour.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
When will my hay be ready to bale if it starts at 22% moisture and I want to reach 15%?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on the forecast, the hay is estimated to reach the target moisture in 14 hours.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is there a high risk of rain damaging my hay today?
```

**Response:** 
```
The risk level is low, with a 10% probability of precipitation and an estimated moisture spike of 0.5%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How accurate is the drying rate prediction?**
The `get_current_drying_rate` tool provides real-time estimates based on current weather conditions and swath density using kinetic thin-layer drying models.

**Can I predict when it will be safe to bale my hay?**
Yes, you can use the `estimate_baling_window` tool to determine the estimated time remaining until the hay reaches your target moisture level.

**How does rain affect my drying schedule?**
You can use `predict_rain_risk` to evaluate the probability of moisture re-absorption and see the potential moisture spike caused by upcoming rain.
