1. What is the primary function of AI when used for planting and field decisions?

   1. Generate its own independent weather predictions based on historical data
   2. Automatically control farm equipment to plant crops at optimal times
   3. Replace the need for checking weather forecasts altogether
   4. Act as a thinking partner that combines weather forecasts with your specific farm situation

2. Which of the following is NOT listed in the lesson as information to provide when asking AI for planting advice?

   1. Equipment constraints
   2. Crop market prices
   3. Labor availability
   4. Current soil temperature

3. When asking AI for a recommended action window, the lesson recommends asking for two specific things. Which one is NOT among them?

   1. A recommended action window
   2. Exact temperature readings for each day
   3. The single weather variable that would flip the decision
   4. The reasoning behind the recommendation

4. Why does the lesson suggest saving AI's recommendations and checking back in a week?

   1. To compare the AI's prediction with what actually happened and learn from it
   2. Because the AI will forget your conversation if you don't save it
   3. To show the results to other farmers for verification
   4. To get a discount on premium AI features

5. The lesson contrasts 'forecasts' with 'decisions.' According to this framework, what are forecasts and what are decisions?

   1. Forecasts are certain; decisions are uncertain
   2. Forecasts are data; decisions are judgment
   3. Forecasts are opinions; decisions are facts
   4. Forecasts are predictions; decisions are guesses

6. A farmer asks AI: 'When should I plant?' without providing additional context. Why does the lesson suggest this is insufficient?

   1. Because the AI needs specific information about soil conditions, equipment, and labor to give useful advice
   2. Because the farmer should ask a human expert instead
   3. Because the question is too short and the AI will refuse to answer
   4. Because planting decisions should never be made with AI assistance

7. Which statement best describes the relationship between AI and weather forecasts in this lesson?

   1. Weather forecasts are unnecessary when using AI for decisions
   2. AI uses weather forecasts as input but does not replace the forecast itself
   3. AI generates more accurate forecasts than weather services
   4. AI and weather forecasts compete to provide the same information

8. What does the lesson mean when it says 'the reasoning is the part that travels to next season'?

   1. The AI will remember your farm from one season to the next
   2. Weather data from this year will be useful for next year's planning
   3. The explanation of why a decision was recommended can be reused and built upon in future years
   4. The exact dates given by AI should be marked on next year's calendar

9. A farmer has equipment that is currently broken and labor available only on certain days. Should this information be given to AI?

   1. Yes, because AI considers constraints to give realistic recommendations
   2. No, because AI only cares about weather conditions
   3. Yes, but only if the equipment is new
   4. No, because equipment and labor are not important factors

10. What does the lesson say about asking AI 'what would change the answer'?

    1. This is an unnecessary question that wastes tokens
    2. This helps identify the key weather variable that could flip your decision
    3. This question annoys the AI and reduces answer quality
    4. This should only be asked after the decision is made

11. If a farmer receives an AI recommendation to spray in three days, but the lesson suggests saving the answer, what should they actually do?

    1. Wait three days before looking at the recommendation
    2. Ignore the recommendation entirely
    3. Delete the conversation and start over
    4. Use the recommendation to make a decision now but record it to evaluate later

12. Why does the lesson emphasize that AI is 'not a forecast'?

    1. Because the government prohibits AI from making forecasts
    2. Because forecasts are more accurate than AI analysis
    3. Because AI is always wrong about weather predictions
    4. Because AI doesn't predict weather—it analyzes forecasts you already have to help make decisions

13. A farmer provides AI with vague information: 'I want to plant sometime soon.' What problem might this cause?

    1. The AI will refuse to answer
    2. The AI will automatically find the exact best date
    3. The AI will give a vague or generic answer that may not fit the actual situation
    4. The farmer will be charged extra for vague prompts

14. What is the 'bridging' function of AI described in the lesson?

    1. Connecting farmers to each other for advice sharing
    2. Connecting farm equipment to the internet
    3. Connecting different weather services together
    4. Connecting the data from weather forecasts to the judgment required for farming decisions

15. The lesson mentions that different activities (planting, spraying, hay-cutting) all use the same AI approach. What is required for each?

    1. A physical sample of your soil
    2. A degree in agricultural science
    3. The 10-day forecast plus your specific situation, goals, and constraints
    4. A subscription to a premium weather service
