| bleedred - 10/18/2025 12:07 The thought that somehow crop insurance accepts yield monitor data is insane. If so they need extremely strict calibration verification. But they won’t allow me to use grain cart scales… ridiculous. We constantly watch our grain cart scale for accuracy versus local certified scales during soybean harvest. Once calibrated I haven’t adjusted it more then once in 10+ years. We use this information to check our truck scale at our bin site as well. If you want accurate data it has to be physically weighed, not implied weight.
Imaginary measurements on the sidewall of a bin, or estimates of how many wagon loads of corn got ground and fed to your cattle, are obviously much more accurate and valid for crop insurance purposes than a written record that 724,380 pounds of corn was weighed leaving that field. ************* |
Yield monitors. Chicken or the egg?
