Presentation Transcript

  1. Precision Ag in Hay and Forage Production John Locklear

  2. Hay Background • Cutting/Swathing • Raking/Tedding • Baling

  3. Forage Background • Swathing/Windrowing/Chopping • Crop stored to ensile (silo, pits/bunkers, piles, wrapped)

  4. Precision Ag in Cutting/Swathing • GPS Guidance • Lightbar • AutoSteer • Tractor or Self Propelled Windrower Applications

  5. Precision Ag in Forage Harvesting (Deere) • HarvestLab • Measures crop moisture on the go • Harvest Monitor • Productivity, yields, area, etc. • IntelliGaurd • Detects metal in the cutterhead • AutoLOC • Changes length of crop cut on the go; Improves bulk density • GPS Guidance

  6. Precision Ag in Forage Harvesting (Claas) • CEBIS (Data Management) • Stores info from custom jobs, yield maps, etc. • QUANTIMETER • On the go moisture measurement • AUTO FILL • Uses 3D imaging to automatically fill the transport vehicle • GPS Guidance

  7. Precision Ag in Forage Harvesting • Tractor Implement Automation • Used with a silage wagon • Senses windrow size and location • Speed and direction are automated from sensor information

  8. Precision Ag in Baling (1) • Monitoring Systems • Shows material in bale chamber • Shows bale diameter/size • LSB-Shows if knots were missed • Vermeer- Bale weight and moisture content

  9. Precision Ag in Baling (2) • Wrapping Balers • Wrap bales for silage after it is baled conventionally • More advanced monitoring systems

  10. Precision Ag in Baling (3) • Tractor-Baler Automation (Deere) • Used through ISO-BUS port, CAN communication • Automates stopping, wrapping, and ejection • Can be manually overridden, much like Autosteer

  11. Precision Ag in Baling (4) • Harvest Tec Systems • Tagging system: records weight, field, time, moisture • Adjusts amount of preservative applied depending on moisture
