Harvest may be wrapping up, but that doesn’t mean that this year’s growing season is completely over. When the combines are stored in the shed, there is still one step left. This step involves making decisions for next year’s growing season based on the data that has been collected in the current growing season.  

Yield maps are a valuable agronomic decision making tool. Unfortunately, they are rarely perfect straight out of the combine. By understanding common problems and their symptoms, many of these issues can be avoided during harvest or repaired in the John Deere Operations Center with a few simple steps.

Combines are incredibly complicated machines, with multiple systems that need to be adjusted independently for the best performance. By better understanding these systems and through our free Guide to Successful Combine Adjustments, you can experience a successful harvest this season.

The John Deere HarvestLab 3000 is one of the most versatile and impressive sensors on the market. With one sensor you can measure forage quality during harvest, use it as a benchtop laboratory analysis tool for measuring stored feed, and even use it as a liquid manure constituent sensor. This enables real-time decision making that improves animal health, feed management decisions, and applications of liquid manure to crop ground.
