abstract: This R package assists breeders in linking data systems with their analytic
  pipelines, a crucial step in digitizing breeding processes. It supports querying
  and retrieving phenotypic and genotypic data from systems like 'EBS' <https://ebs.excellenceinbreeding.org/>,
  'BMS' <https://bmspro.io>, 'BreedBase' <https://breedbase.org>, 'GIGWA' <https://github.com/SouthGreenPlatform/Gigwa2>
  (using 'BrAPI' <https://brapi.org> calls), and 'Germinate' <https://germinateplatform.github.io/get-germinate/>.
  Extra helper functions support environmental data sources, including 'TerraClimate'
  <https://www.climatologylab.org/terraclimate.html> and 'FAO' 'HWSDv2' <https://gaez.fao.org/pages/hwsd>
  soil database.
