An agricultural combine having at least one loss sensor associated with a threshing and separating system, a processing device, and a user interface. The processor is configured to collect geographical position readings, operating parameter settings, and loss data readings. The operating parameter settings and loss data readings are associated with the position readings. The processor generates a display at the user interface illustrating a geographical map including at least a portion of the plurality of position readings. The geographical map graphically indicates each loss data reading associated with each position reading illustrated on the geographical map at that position reading's respective location on the geographical map. A system and method for evaluating the performance of an agricultural combine are also provided.

A crop loss correction system receives one or more crop loss sensor signals that are indicative of crop lost by a harvesting machine. A correction component receives context information from a set of context sensing components to identify a context of the harvesting machine. The correction component corrects the crop loss sensor signals, based upon the context information, to obtain a corrected loss signal indicative of the sensed crop loss, corrected based on the mobile machine context. The corrected loss signal is output to an output device.

A harvesting method includes the steps of operating a moveable harvesting machine in one or more fields to harvest plant matter and produce a secondarily processable harvest product for subsequent processing using secondary processing machinery; and while operating the harvesting machine to produce the secondarily processable harvest product, recording data that includes information on one or more characteristics of the secondarily processable harvest product. The method further includes transferring the recorded data from the harvesting machine to an external data store; causing moveable secondary processing machinery to retrieve at least some data on the secondarily processable harvest product from the data store; and controlling one or more controllable parameters of the secondary processing machinery based on the retrieved data during operation of the secondary processing machinery to process the secondarily processable harvest product.

A grain loss gauging system for a combine harvester uses a collection pan for releasable attachment to a combine harvester in which the collection pan defines a receptacle having an open top for receiving material blown out of the combine harvester when deposited on the ground. A pair of electromagnets and a controller for selectively supplying electrical power to the electromagnets from a battery are supported on the collection pan to electromagnetically retain pan on a vehicle body of the combine harvester. A remote used remotely from the collection pan can be triggered to generate a wireless trigger signal received by the controller to interrupt the electrical power to the electromagnets and release the electromagnets, the controller, and the battery together with the collection pan from the body of the combine harvester. The combine harvester is adjusted to reduce the amount of grain collected in the pan.

One or more information maps are obtained by an agricultural work machine. The one or more information maps map one or more agricultural characteristic values at different geographic locations of a field. An in-situ sensor on the agricultural work machine senses an agricultural characteristic as the agricultural work machine moves through the field. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that predicts a predictive agricultural characteristic at different locations in the field based on a relationship between the values in the one or more information maps and the agricultural characteristic sensed by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.

Apparatus, systems and methods for monitoring one or more agricultural implements during agricultural operations and for monitoring operator performance criterion. In some embodiment, the operator performance criterion may be reported to a monitor on the agricultural implement as well as a remote fleet monitor.

In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method comprises causing a camera to continuously capture surroundings to generate multiple images and causing a display device to continuously display the multiple images as the multiple images are generated. In addition, the method comprises processing each of one or more of the multiple images. The processing comprises identifying at least one of a plurality of diseases and calculating at least one disease score associated with the at least one disease for a particular image; causing the display device to display information regarding the at least one disease and the at least one disease score in association with a currently displayed image; receiving input specifying one or more of the at least one disease; and causing the display device to show additional data regarding the one or more diseases, including a remedial measure for the one or more diseases.

A grain harvesting vehicle is configured to harvest a grain. A chaffer is configured to separate grain from material other than grain (MOG). A grate is positioned rearward of the chaffer. The grate includes a grate panel having an upper surface and a lower surface and an aperture in the grate panel extending between the upper surface and the lower surface. The aperture has a first end nearer the chaffer and a second end opposite the first end. The grate further includes a ramp portion extending above the grate panel from adjacent the first end of the aperture toward the second end of the aperture. A grain sensor has a sensing location positioned at a height below the grate.

Apparatus, systems and methods for monitoring one or more agricultural implements during agricultural operations and for monitoring operator performance criterion. In some embodiment, the operator performance criterion may be reported to a monitor on the agricultural implement as well as a remote fleet monitor.
