Our goal is to start with computerized record keeping, GPS based sampling systems, and the creation of yield maps. Once this has been done various forms of computer assisted management become possible.
Objectives:
- Convert a working but still cumbersome prototype yield monitoring system on a bean harvester to a commercially viable unit.
- Develop a prototype yield monitoring system that can be use on any harvesting system where harvested crops are placed on a trailer that moves through a field.
