# FAQ

1. The pa_yield() function expects an sf object but my data is in a “.csv” format. How should I proceed?

   The data in a csv format can be read into R as a data frame and, subsequently, converted into an sf object. See the example below.

       x <- 40:45
       y <- -90:-95
       yield <- 100:105
       dat <- data.frame(x = x,
                         y = y,
                         yield = yield)
       class(dat) ## data.frame

       ## [1] "data.frame"

       dat <- sf::st_as_sf(dat,
                    coords = c('x', 'y'))
       class(dat) ## sf and data.frame

       ## [1] "sf"         "data.frame"

2. How do I silence warnings and messages within the package?

   To silence warnings and messages, you can use the pacu_options() function.

       pacu_options(suppress.warnings = TRUE,
                    suppress.messages = TRUE)
