USDA TOOL HELPS FARMERS CLEAN YIELD DATA

While yield monitors provide on-the-go information throughout each field, farmers should make sure they obtain “clean” data before using it to make application decisions for subsequent crops, according to Scott Drummond, of USDA’s cropping systems and water quality research. USDA’s free Yield Editor software allows users to select, apply and analyze a variety of automated filters and editing technologies to clean yield data. (FarmWeekNow)
