I was planning to NOT do a blogpost today..........thus, this is not really a blogpost. Its just something cool and interesting that I wanted to show you.

Below is a printout of our 15-acre soybean field that was combined last Thursday. North is at the top; click the photo to read the yield chart below the map to understand what the colors denote. Each color represents a range of yield----in bushels per acre.
Its amazing to me how this information can be so precisely recorded! The GPS system in the combine interacts with a satellite miles above the earth to produce this data. Kind of scary, eh? Truthfully, Husband could get along just fine NOT having these precise yield details to look at, but modern ag technology provides it, regardless.

Ok......that's it for this "not-really-a-blogpost".........HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

That is pretty cool. I like the colors. (Totally not the point, I know, but I do.)
That is very cool! I will send hubby over here to check this out...he loves to read your farming posts.

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea you could track this kind of thing. Amazing.
It's been awhile since I got to take the time and really enjoy your informative blog and today it was a such a pleasure to read new and old posts. our husbands would so enjoy each other. Mine is fretting over buying a GPS system for his tractor and is currently doing research for the best brand.
this is totally awesome!
Interesing what modern technology can do....a bit scary as well!
Love the colors on the chart too.....

I like the colors in the printout, too! That's one reason I decided to post it on the blog.
Thanks for stopping by!
