Yield monitor accuracy continues to improve, partly due to better installation. An increasing percentage of yield monitor installations are being done before combines leave the factory, and after-market installers are becoming more and more experienced. Manufacturers are also learning more about the potential sources of yield monitor error and are developing creative solutions to these problems. This Crop Insights will review current guidelines for insuring the quality and accuracy of yield monitor data for Pioneer trials this fall. Additional discussion on the effect of sloping fields on yield monitor accuracy is also included.
