Value of Yield Monitors and Yield Maps? Opinions?

Report this Message

Hi Everyone,

We are preparing some topics for the next Precision Agriculture conference and I have been asking people about how they find the value of yield monitors and yield maps?

Do you use them first of all?

How do you use them to make management decisions?

Thanks for the feedback,

P.S. Here is a good video from Ag PhD with their thoughts on the usefulness of Yield Monitors and Yield Maps.

I've collected some information that, yield monitoring can be defined as "the measurement of the harvested portion of a crop over space and time and the summation of those measurements in graphical form" (1994 Pierce). Grain yield monitors have been in vogue for more than 10 years and can provide valuable spatial yield information to growers.
