The actual yield of the field is the total result of all operations carried out during the production season. Using yield mapping systems you will receive the actual indicators of the harvested crop across the field.
There are many options for equipping harvesters with mapping systems varying from standardized systems of machinery producers to specialized solutions. State-of-the-art systems are more difficult to use and require constant calibration to obtain correct yield indicators — the variety and hybrid of the crop, weather conditions and even the technical condition of the combine affect the interpretation of the data.
Installation of yield mapping system by Precision Planting allows you to record the amount of harvested crop, identify areas of yield heterogeneity, operational errors, and problem areas that require deeper analysis. SmartFarming is an official Precision Planting dealer, and our engineering department is ready to implement solutions of any complexity for your farm.
YieldSense yield mapping system with high spatial resolution and simple calibration provides comprehensive information for well-informed decision making. Only one calibration for the crop per season is enough, and the parameters are automatically adjusted when changing hybrids, varieties, moving to areas with different humidity or another fields.
Having compared yield indicators across fields, crops and a range of other parameters, you will be able to evaluate the economic effect of the application of precision farming technologies. The analysis of yield maps allows you to identify operational errors and areas that require additional examination.

Yield maps will visually show you high and low yield zones in your fields. Based on this information, you will be able to conduct a deeper analysis of the problems and implement differentiated fertilization or variable-rate sowing to unlock the potential of the plots and increase the yield across the fields.
A yield mapping system is a combination of hardware and software that records the amount of crop harvested in each area of the field. During the operation, the on-board computer records crop yield and moisture, total harvested area and harvesting speed.
The use of rubberized vanes and impact sensor eliminates the need for additional calibration, which is one of the main sources of yield mapping errors. Thus, the accuracy of the results increases to 97%, while the error in optical systems reaches more than 10%.
When using yield mapping systems pre-installed by a manufacturer, the accuracy of data is affected by many factors: time of day, humidity, weediness of the field, speed of machinery movement, etc. By installing sensors at the top of the elevator, YieldSense system measures the indicators of a harvested crop with high accuracy.
We install a yield mapping system on combines of different manufacturers and different types. To assess the feasibility of modernizing your combine, please contact our consultants.
A sensor in the mapping system measures the weight of the “wet” grain during harvest. To estimate the actual mass, it is necessary to recalculate the results taking into account the moisture.
