CROP TEST-WEIGHT SYSTEM

Abstract:

Technologies for determining test weight of a crop (such as technologies for determining test weight of corn) can be more accurate. The technologies can include a computing device configured to determine dimensions of kernels of a harvested crop in a combine harvester as well determine test weight of the crop based on the determined dimensions of the kernels. The determination can include deriving the test weight from a table including correlations between kernel dimensions and test weights. The table can be enhanced by a feedback loop, and the technologies can include a computing device that is configured to communicate test weights to an operator of a combine harvester during or after processing of the crop by the harvester. The technologies can also include a device that can generate a test-weight map based on determined test weights and locations of a crop field associated with the determined test weights.
