Abstract

Yield monitors provide information that is valuable for a multitude of management purposes, including estimating the amount of nutrients removed by the harvested crop, estimating profitability, developing management zones, and analyzing impacts of treatments used in on‐farm studies. However, proper yield monitor calibration and maintenance is necessary to ensure that production and farm business assessments based on yield data are accurate and reliable. This article provides guidance on preparing to harvest a field, improving accuracy, cleaning and identifying potential errors in yield monitor data, and using the data to improve field understanding.
