Claim 18:
19. A method for growing crops in a growth medium comprising:
on a harvesting machine harvesting elements from crops in the growth medium;
causing relative movement between the growth medium and the harvesting machine;
wherein there is provided a device for singulating the harvested elements into a singulated stream of the harvested elements so that each harvested element is singulated from the other harvested elements into a singulated stream of the harvested elements for measurement,
using a sensing system to measure at least one property of each the signulated elements independently of the other harvested elements while in the singulated stream;
dividing some of the singulated elements from others of the singulated elements into a separate path based on the property sensed;
and planting seeds from at least some of the collected elements in said growth medium;
wherein there is provided an input by which end users communicate qauality requirements and the singulated elements are divided into the separate paths using said least one property from each singulated element by changing classification criteria of said at least one property dedicated to the communicate quality requirements of the end user.
