Subject: RE: Yield Monitor Calibration and Accuracy


So totals don t matter? You calibrate loads and then fields how do you go wrong. Conditions were horrible for us this year you could be in 180 bu corn and 30 ft later it would be 0 pushed to the limit then back to low flow. 20 fields very little error. What is the point if you have 5% error. Is it comming from the high or the low or the middle. When you run totals over many fields you are throwing tons of different flow rates at the monitor and hitting them within 1%. I would say its accurately calibrated high low middle. Even in a poorly calibrated monitor you can see highs and lows but that's all you know. Lets say you fertilize for 160 (we are far north) you hit 140 well you over fertilized right. No there were tons of 200+ so if your totals are wrong where do you assign the error. Those areas are going to run out of steam. So they are of equal importance and I would bet 10% high on low and 10% low on high won't give you good totals anyway over numerous fields.
