Next steps for better silage yield maps

Abstract

With yield monitor technology, silage growers can see the impact of management changes in every field section over time. Unfortunately, even with calibrated equipment and best operator practices, yield maps can look pretty confusing without some post-harvest processing. Worse, maps that have not been properly cleaned can be misleading. Using a strategy called “yield data cleaning,” growers can make decisions using yield data with more confidence and little added effort or cost.
