Always make only one adjustment at a time. Then check the combine performance under normal load. Count losses in the field, evaluate the bin sample and monitor the tailings throughout the harvest day. Back to top Yield Monitors Yield monitors basically provide actual dry weight yield, based on a moisture sensor and a grain flow sensor that are electronically calibrated to estimate yield at every point in the field. The bushel per acre information they provide has been helpful to growers to identify the benefits of good drainage, various fertility treatments or pesticide applications.
New uses continue to develop.
Yield monitors have been very accurate and trouble-free in standing wheat. This is the only source of error that should exceed 1 or 2 percent. Occasionally, light rain or heavy dew on the surface of the kernel will bias the actual average moisture content and consequently the field yield. Back to top Residue Management Soybeans are typically seeded after wheat. They can be no-tilled immediately behind the combine if the combine discharge isn t concentrated.
