Yield Monitoring
Ag Leader provides the most widely used grain yield monitoring technology in the world. Create and view yield and moisture maps while harvesting and instantly observe how field conditions affect yield.
Field-Proven Accuracy
Instantly see yields as you go across the field!
Yield monitoring can also help you:
- Improve understanding of seed types and other field activities on yield.
- Gather more reliable yield data.
- Make real-time yield comparisons.
- View moisture maps in real-time for instant feedback on performance.
- Improve seed selections based on yield data over multiple years.
- Decide how to store your grain based on moisture readings in the field.
Variety Map Integration
Yield monitoring with the Ag Leader® Integra display now allows an operator to load crop variety maps recorded by another Ag Leader Integra, Versa™, or other brand of planter display. Data can be read into the software to create a reference file that can be then loaded onto the Ag Leader Integra display. This allows the operator to view variety performance in real-time during harvest.
AutoSwath for Harvest
Harvest data is recorded based on the number of rows being harvested, providing accurate data when harvesting point rows or partial swaths.
Yield and Moisture Mapping
View yield and moisture maps in real-time for instant feedback on yield performance across the field.
Summary Screen
Harvest summary screen provides at-a-glance information about number of acres harvested, total and average bushels harvested and more.
Hybrid/Variety Yield Mapping
Overlay planting maps with real-time harvest maps to view instant yield and moisture variations by hybrid/variety in the field. This provides better seed selection data for next planting season.
The Value of Data
Data from your field is an invaluable resource to help you make better management decisions.
- Overlay hybrid/variety maps with harvest maps to determine yield performance.
- Since SMS™ Software stores every year of information, you can see the history of yield trends.
- SMS turns your data into a "Report Card" evaluating your performance in the past year. Use the reports to provide the totals and averages for each field, while using the query tools to analyze specific areas.

How A Yield Monitor Works
Grain is fed into the harvester's elevator where sensors read the moisture content of the grain.
As the grain is delivered to the holding tank, the mass flow sensor monitors yield.
Information on both yield and moisture from the sensors is recorded by the Ag Leader Integra or Versa display mounted in the cab.
