Simplifying Yield Data: Post-Harvest Calibration and Analysis

00:00:00 Johnny Burrell Extreme Ag. I'm in here today with Chad Zurich, a Tennessee tractor and you know, we're in here looking at operations center, 00:00:07 trying to see, you know, what some of these farms are making. We're about halfway through harvest now 00:00:11 and kind of had a rainy day here and we came in and we're just gonna do some basic things talking about, you know, post calibrations on the yield 00:00:17 so we can start really looking at some real accurate data and just see what some of these products were making us when 00:00:22 we added 'em to the planter. And you know, to do that we gotta have this yield, right? So that's right. Let's walk through this process here on 00:00:27 how, how simple it is really to set this data and get this, uh, yield calibration done. Alright, So we're in here, uh, 00:00:35 we're under work analyzer here in Operation Center just looking at one, one field in particular, once the corn harvest data has came in from the combines. 00:00:43 And so we're sitting here and Johnny's got his scale tickets and he's already noticed total dry yield is off 00:00:48 by a few thousand bushels. So first thing we wanna do is just get the numbers right in here. 00:00:51 And so what we're gonna do is click edit and do area and dry yield. And so right here you can actually also, uh, uh, 00:01:00 adjust the area harvested if that needed to be adjusted. But all we're gonna do is under total yield, 00:01:06 Johnny said our total bushels was actually nine, uh, 37 37, 9 20. Yep. And so once you've got that number typed in, 00:01:14 you just click review edits, click save. And so it may take you just a few minutes to actually change this number here, 00:01:21 but once you've got the numbers right under all your yield data, uh, that's, that's when we're gonna go in 00:01:26 and actually start looking at these reports and laying yield over the top of any trials we've done. And that way, once, once we dissect that data 00:01:33 and generate those reports, our true yield number is correct. Yeah. And so, you know, 00:01:38 It is a very simple process. This helps with crop insurance. This helps with anything we're doing 00:01:42 Throughout The rest of this winter on what we're gonna do for next year. That's right. So now what we'll do, uh, go in 00:01:48 and overlay this map over some trage you'll do to planting. Yeah, we'll go and do some overlays. Now 00:01:53 It's a real simple process to do. You know, we went in and we did the post calibration on the yield, you know, got the correct bushels put in. 00:01:59 So now we can go in and we can actually select individual trials we had going on in the field 00:02:03 and just kind of see how that looks and, uh, and start seeing which trials are actually giving us an ROI that we're putting out, or, you know, 00:02:09 some of 'em may not be. So it's a real, it's a real easy process here and you just do a comparison 00:02:15 map here basically is all you're Doing. So we've got yield overlay the top of an application here, and so you've got these sliders, you can turn the color 00:02:23 and contour up and down on both ones. So we're gonna turn the yield down just enough that we can see this application. 00:02:28 You can see a strip right down the middle here. And then you can actually pull this polygon tool up and just snip a polygon around that one particular area. 00:02:39 So we're gonna get that polygon snip here so we can compare what this product made versus the not applied strip. 00:02:46 So once you got your polygon snapped, we give the system just a minute and it should generate the data of, uh, what's inside 00:02:54 that polygon versus whole field. And then what we'll do is scoot this polygon over and see what those two selected 00:03:01 zones are compared to one another. So yield within that zone right here is 196 bushel one acre. So now what you can do, if, if for instance, 00:03:10 if this polygon didn't match up with this one, you can draw a new polygon, but we've got enough room right beside it, 00:03:15 we're just gonna scoot that polygon over into the non applied area and then it's now got our data for the selected zone not applied. 00:03:24 And so you'll see, uh, what do we have here? About a six bushel? Yeah, About a six bushel acre difference. 00:03:30 So, you know, that's good data to have and then, you know, you can do this over multiple times on different products inside that field. 00:03:36 So it's, it's pretty neat. And then what we also like is, is if you ran multiple combines in there, you could take off 00:03:42 that, take out that variability and make sure that you're only getting one combine's data. Yep. Versus that's 00:03:47 Actually what we got here Now. Yeah. So that just shows there. The, the yellow was the same combine on, 00:03:52 on that whole trial there. So that is a big deal. I've done several plots before and, and the combines getting the same plot 00:03:58 and really kind of skew the data a little bit if one of 'em is off a little bit. So that's, uh, that's pretty neat to see there too. 00:04:04 So you can see it's a simple process to go in. You can do this on variety trials, you know, whatever you want to do. 00:04:09 Yep. This one here was an inferred trial. We did, we've done a two by two trial. So that's just another step and, 119 00:04:15.345 --> 00:04:16.965
