| Summary: | Precision farming describes the process of measuring and mapping land crop characteristics and then using these measurements to develop precise and intelligent application strategies that improve overall farm production. Yield monitoring is the phase of precision farming in which the crop yield variation within a field is measured and mapped. Yield maps from previous seasons can be used to determine the needed inputs in the field, whereas post harvest yield maps can be used to evaluate the implemented methods and make adjustments for the next season. Grain yield monitors are available, however there are few if any monitors for other crops. This paper examines the use of strain gauge load cells in a yield monitor for peanut combines and the development of methods for minimizing measurement noises thereby increasing reliability. |
