agridat 1.24 (2024-10-25)

New datasets

• haritonenko.sugarbeet.uniformity
• jegorow.oats.uniformity
• jurowski.wheat.uniformity
• roemer.sugarbeet.uniformity
• siao.cotton.uniformity
• tulaikow.wheat.uniformity

Other notes

• baker.strawberry.uniformity: inserted 3 columns into the layout of the field to more closely align with the experiment layout.

• garber.multi.uniformity: The data has been reshaped from wide to tall and additional years added.

• minnesota.barley.yield: Added 10+ more years of data.

• odland.soyhay.uniformity: Yields have been divided by 10 so that the yield values are now in units of "tons" instead of "0.1 tons".

• shafi.tomato.uniformity: Had incorrect yield scale, now divided by 1000.

• Documentation pages now created via Github Actions. (Issue #12). Thanks to E.Tanaka.

agridat 1.23 (2024-01-30)

New datasets

Other notes

• Removed suggested use of sf/terra packages in examples.

• Add if(require("asreml", quietly=TRUE)) to example sections. This way we can allow people (or GitHub Actions) to force run the dontrun sections, even if asreml is not installed.

• cochran.eelworms - Fix a typo reported by U.Genschel, and added more columns for grain yield, straw yield, weeds. Updates to documentation.

• gartner.corn - Remove 'rgdal' package from example (Issue #11).
