Drowning in data at harvest time? Here are some approaches that will help you make sense of the masses of numbers and find the biggest potential for yield increases
by KEITH REID
With more and more combines in the field having yield monitors, I get the sense that many farmers feel they are “drowning in data” at harvest time.
In the worst cases, growers may be completely overwhelmed and give up trying to sort through the masses of numbers. They may actually end up with less useful information than their neighbour who keeps track of the loads coming out of each field with a pencil and notebook.
