Y
YIELD CALIBRATION. Procedures used to calibrate a yield monitor for specific harvest conditions such as grain type, grain flow, and grain moisture.
YIELD MAPPING. It is a yield monitor coupled with a GPS. Each yield reading is tagged with a latitude and longitude coordinate, which is then used to produce a yield map. Refers to the process of collecting georeferenced data on crop yield and characteristics, such as moisture content, while the crop is being harvested.
YIELD MONITOR. A yield-measuring device installed on harvest machines. Yield monitors measure grain flow, grain moisture, and other parameters for real-time information relating to field productivity.
