The method of yield forecasting on the basis of multispectral satellite images is proposed in this article. The results of computer simulation to predict crop yields for different crops of different areas are presented and analyzed. The study is conducted to determine the most accurate model of soil fertility, which results in a model that takes values of vegetation indices for 5 months, starting in March and ending in July months of this year. Based on the analysis concludes that the accuracy of forecasting and ongoing possibility of extending the scope of the resulting model for predicting crop yields.
