Claim 3:
4. The baler implement set forth in claim 1, further comprising a bale sensor for sensing a property of the bale, and a baler implement controller having a processor and a memory having a bale identification algorithm stored thereon, wherein the processor is operable to execute the bale identification algorithm to:
receive data related to the bale from the bale sensor;
receive the knotter engagement signal from the knotter sensor;
control the reader to emit the interrogation signal in response to receiving the knotter engagement signal;
receive the identification signal from the identification tag in response to the interrogation signal, wherein the identification signal includes identification data related to the identification tag;
associate the data related to the bale with the identification data related to the identification tag of the bale;
communicate the associated data related to the bale and the identification data related to the identification tag to a remote memory.
