rest assured the bushels are not placed in the correct location in the field as well if you did the calibration process correctly.
softtail - can you elaborate? Maybe I'm missing your point, but placing bushels in the field is a function of the flow delay
(how long it takes for crop to get from the cutterbar to the flow sensor
), which is completely different from the yield monitor calibration. Calibration is about measurement accuracy, flow delay is about placement/mapping accuracy. Put the two together, done right, and you get the correct yield measurement at the correct spot in the field. You could have a terrible calibration and still get yield properly placed in the field. It will just be the wrong yield. Doing a calibration by the book won't improve placement, just measurement accuracy.
