The system uses two cameras looking 28 feet ahead of the combine measuring crop height and volume, and pre-harvest satellite imagery, to optimize combine speeds. “It allows us to maintain peak efficiency in the machine all day long as the yield changes throughout the field,” Nelson said. “It’s kind of like adaptive cruise control on your combine.” Using Ground Speed Automation and Harvest Settings Automation together provides farmers up to 20 percent more productivity and a 10 percent reduction in fuel consumption, he added.
