GPS Yield Mapping & Data Processing for usable Yield Maps - Case Study

GPS yield data at harvest made into maps Farmer in Essex farmer already has 5 years of GPS yield mapping but he wants to more from his data.
He wanted to have his GPS yield data processed to highlight the important differences that his data shows, to better understand how the data can be used in field management.
 

What information could GPS data processing of yield data provide?

gps yield data processing GPS yield  mapping produces a massive amount of data. Most yield mapping software turns yield data into 'pretty' maps but not always maps that are immediately usable for farm management.
W i l l i n g t o n  C r o p  S e r v i c e s Larger farm acreages means less office time. It is important that GPS yield maps show the yield data as useful GPS yield maps.
W i l l i n g t o n  C r o p  S e r v i c e s Lack of time means that many farmer and farm managers are unable to spent time on GPS yield data processing.
W i l l i n g t o n  C r o p  S e r v i c e s GPS yield maps can highlight important differences within fields which can aid field management.

GPS yield processing uncovered the following details:

W i l l i n g t o n  C r o p  S e r v i c e s Exact and useful differences between field cultivations, non inversion cultivations versus plough within the same field.
W i l l i n g t o n  C r o p  S e r v i c e sField areas around southern edges rabbit & duck grazed, reducing yields by >3t/ha. A loss in excess of £180 per acre versus the cost of preventing this damage.
W i l l i n g t o n  C r o p  S e r v i c e sLower yielding area in peninsular of north west field: rabbit damage. Evaluate lost yield versus cost of prevention.
W i l l i n g t o n  C r o p  S e r v i c e s Heaviest yielding areas identified. Suggest GPS soil sampling to identify fertility of high yielding areas of fields versus low yielding areas.
W i l l i n g t o n  C r o p  S e r v i c e sCompile several years yield maps to identify field areas that consistently produce heavier yields, medium yields or lower yields. For example map to right shows a single years data versus average for 3 years data

Summary: GPS yield mapping data can be processed to ease farm work load and create more easily understood and useable maps. GPS yield data processing to produce GPS yield maps. An issue with GPS yield data can be the time required for GPS yield processing into easily understood, simplified maps.
