  7. Capacitance Moisture Sensors

  8. Sources of Yield Map Error • Unknown swath width • Time lag of grain through combine • GPS error • Multiple paths through combine • Surging of grain through combine • Grain losses • Sensor Calibration

  9. Sources of Impulse Yield Sensor Error • Grain Moisture • Grain Test Weight • Grain Temperature • Grain Cultivar • Grain Species • Contamination • Dirt • Plant oils, sap, etc.

  29. Soybean Yield and pH Maps

  30. Current Yield Monitors • Mass-flow sensor • Volumetric-flow sensor • Conveyor belt load sensor • Trailer load sensor • Torque transducer

  31. Basics of Yield Monitoring • Possible Crops to Monitor • Wheat and other grains • Cotton • Potato and Sugar Beets • Beans • Rice • Specialty Crops • Grapes, Tomatoes, Carrots, etc.

  32. Yield Mapping Trailer(Sugar Beet Harvest)

  33. Yield Mapping Trailer • Measures change in weight in the trailer while allowing for comparison at different times. • Can be used for any crop that is loaded into a trailer continuously while harvested.

  34. Conveyor Yield Monitor

  35. Corn Silage • The drive shaft of the base unit powering the cutterhead, feedrolls, and front attachment, are instrumented with strain gauge torque transducers. • Cutting power is linearly related to material feedrate. • Material flow can be expressed as: • Fr(t)=Yi(t)Sp(t)W
