NW IL | This came up in a post below but I thought it was worth it's own post.
We run probably 8+ corn hybrids each year. Often with check strips or a split planter. I don't always have the chance to calibrate each hybrid like I should, but thought it's worth sharing this for others to be aware of.
"Total percent error of all the weights in the plot was right at 1%, which Ferrie considers accurate.
“Anything under 3% I would consider to be excellent,” he says.
But when Ferrie looked at the individual hybrid weights, the monitor ranged from 10% higher than the scale for hybrid A to 6% under the scale for hybrid B. By monitor weights, hybrid A was 15 bushels better in yield than hybrid B. But when he scaled the weights, hybrid B was 18 bushels better than hybrid A."

Yield monitor vs weigh wagon when comparing hybrids
