A system for weighing containers includes: a weighing station and a conveying path extending from an upstream infeed section to a downstream outfeed section. The conveying path includes a gripping stretch for gripping the containers and a release stretch for releasing the containers, disposed between the infeed section and the outfeed section; and a conveying device for conveying the containers from the infeed section to the gripping stretch, and the weighed containers from the release stretch to the outfeed section. The conveying device includes first and second groups of housings for receiving the containers and moving them from the infeed section to the gripping stretch. A gripping and transferring device transfers the containers from the gripping stretch to the weighing station and from the weighing station to the release stretch. The first and second groups are movable independently of each other from the infeed section to the gripping stretch.

A method for facilitating calibration of a yield monitor, including receiving, via a controller of a yield monitor calibration system, a first signal indicative of a first weight value from a scale of the yield monitor calibration system, wherein the scale is configured to monitor weight of harvested crops in a mobile storage compartment configured to receive the harvested crops from a harvester during an unloading operation. The method also includes receiving, via the controller, a second signal indicative of a second weight value from the scale in response to receiving a third signal indicative of the harvester completing the unloading operation, comparing, via the controller, the first weight value to the second weight value to determine a difference value, as well as outputting, via the controller, the difference value to the yield monitor to enable the yield monitor to perform a calibration process.
