Reliable crop type information is crucial for decision-making in agriculture. However, post-season crop type information cannot support in-season estimation and monitoring. Instead, pre-season crop mapping can provide early warnings for agricultural yield and supply chains to reduce trade tension and agriculture risk. This research analyzed and predicted pre-season crop type maps using multiple machine learning algorithms based on historical crop type data. We evaluated three machine learning algorithms including Random Forest, Extreme Gradient Boosting, and Naïve Bayes as prediction models for experimental development. The results show that the machine learning algorithm with a large dataset has higher accuracy in complex cropping patterns than simple cropping patterns. The comparative study of multiple machine learning algorithms shows that more complex algorithms like Random Forest could produce reasonable pre-season crop maps in an efficient and low-cost way.
