      abstract = {Favorable weather conditions for dryland crop production,  including a proper amount of heat and rainfall during the  growing season, are critical factors determining yield  outcomes. Weather conditions however, are randomly  distributed across regions and over time, thus influencing  the temporal and geographical patterns of measured crop  yield. Failure to account for weather factors when  estimating crop yield distributions, time trends or  productivity gains can lead to spurious conclusions  regarding technology improvement, yield risk and skewness  of yield. This paper addresses some limitations in the  literature that result from not taking into account  weather, and proposes an approach to incorporate weather  into modeling yield.},
