Abstract
A prototype peanut yield monitoring system based on load cell transducers was evaluated for use in precision farming applications. Noise characteristics under simulated field conditions were examined, and the effect of mixing within the peanut combine during harvest was also investigated. Evaluation results showed that the system has potential for providing limited quality site-specific yield measurements for yield mapping applications.
