Is anyone else having issues with yield sense yield data not transferring correctly?

Question

Our soybean yield data has a tendency to transfer higher than actual yields and our corn transfers lower than actual yields. This is an ongoing issue across different platforms.

Answer

Transferring to where? Fieldview?

Answer

We run two case combines with yield sense installed on both. We’ve always struggled to keep them calibrated from field to field.  I’ll have to check and see if maybe that’s our problem. I’m not normally running the combines but always refer to FieldView for the yields.  Never been satisfied with yield sense honestly.  Thought maybe it was one machine. Then we added the second in 2018 and have had the same problem with both for 2 years now.  Frustrations.  We’re young guys that know tech and have had many of phone conversations to try to remedy the situation with no success.

Answer

Building a new Precision planter this winter with a Gen 3....  that doesn’t make me feel real good now.  Hmmm.

Answer

We run two combines with yield sense. One with a gen 1, one with a gen 3. This year the gen 3 was adding 40 bushels per acre to the iPad, but the monitor was correct. Harvested acres also added 1.5 acres per acre harvested. Precision says it’s not their problem, it’s climates problem. Climate says they’ll have a fix by next year. In the mean time we had to pull all data off the 20/20’s, and had climate delete all 19’ harvest data, then reload it

Answer

That looked like a lot of work so I just did a post harvest calibration for each field.

Answer

Haven't had issue with that myself. FarmersEdge and FBN do some yield data cleaning but that's more to eliminate zero readings on edges of passes and overlap issues.

FarmersEdge for us has produced yield maps but they were significantly elevated compared to actual scale tickets.  FBN matched up pretty close to what our actual weights were from field.  It's a lot easier to post calibrate FBN vs FarmersEdge IMO.

Any way for you to check harvested acres vs acres in field boundaries? With more prevent plant aces this year those are not taken out in those platforms so your measured lbs may be right but acres are higher in platform than what you planted/harvested so field avg can get messed up pretty easily that way.

Answer

Greenstar and FV drive. The file format between yieldsense and fv drive is the same though so it's same file type.

I'm a precision planting dealer though so I'm quite familiar with the YS.  I'd recommend trying to upload the field map data from the 2020 to each platform rather than go through fv and see what you get. There have been numerous issues within my customer base in getting acres between YS and FV to match up this year. The 2020 is the master controller so I'd take the data from that device as most reliable
