[QUOTE="beardface, post: 995528, member: 16222"] Think there's only 3 real uses for it 1. RTK to reduce fuel, chemical and fert and get trams in the right place, 2. Vari seed rate (crops look far more even and consistent for it), 3. Vari rate fert (surely placing more in places that need it and less in areas that done must reduce tonnes used and inevitably cost?). As for yield mapping think it's a waste of time, only takes mapping equipment to bugger up one year or a couple of extreme weather events to make it look like complete nonsense. Only farmer we cut for that used it was using it for making irrigation maps and seeing how water rates affected yield. So unless there's someway of yield mapping potatoes or veg then I can't see it being much use here. Also any farmer worth his salt knows the areas that produce more than others on his farm, and in our experience it's usually large variation in soil type. So a dig with a spade and soil testing would be far mor useful in this instance. [/QUOTE]
