Could a Protein Map affect your Fertility Management Program?
Papé Machinery is interested in finding out! The increasing push to produce more per acre has many asking the question if grain segregation and fertility management should be a focus for these small grain operations. With over a decade of yield mapping capabilities, we have had the ability to tie fertility management decisions to net yields produced on a per acre basis. John Deere continues to produce precision technology with productivity goals in mind including the recent refocused engineering on the HarvestLab 3000 technology to the Small Grain Production Systems. Having a Near-Infrared Sensor (NIR) installed on the clean grain elevator of the combine with unlock for Grain Sensing Constituents allows us to utilize the Operation Center to analyze Protein, Starch, and Oil Content map layers.
