Hello and welcome back to the show. This is episode number 178, and in this episode, we are going to talk about post-harvest calibration.

Every day, there are phenomenal advancements happening in the field of agriculture technology.

The team at Ardeo Equipment Company, along with respected, knowledgeable industry experts,

are here to bring you the latest in ag tech news, information, and products that help

today's growers solve challenges.

With that, let's dive into the show.

Like I said, we're going to talk about post-harvest calibration.

So before we dive into that, I just want to remind everybody that, of course, we have the

ability to do post-harvest calibration and we have these tools, but it's always a best

practice to make sure that we are calibrating on the front side.

Now, if we go back to, I believe it is, episode 149, yes, 149, about a year ago, a little over a year ago,

we talked about yield calibration and kind of the processes and procedures of yield calibration on combines.

So if you haven't listened to that one, I would encourage you to go back, take a listen,

but always keep in mind that we do want to do the best we can on the front side to make sure we're collecting good clean data.

Now, we know that's not always possible. Something happens. Maybe we've got a loaner combine

in the field or we just weren't able to get that one or a different machine calibrated properly, we can go back and post-calibrate.

Now, some of these tools are not new per se to the operation center, but where we can find

them and the amount of post-calibration that we can do, some of that stuff is new. So what are we doing with post-harvest

calibration? Essentially, what we're doing is we're able to take all of those harvested

weights and we're able to put that into the John Deere Operation Center and it will recalculate

everything to make sure we have the proper average yields across the field.

Our maps, our yield maps look appropriate to where the variability lies. Now, of course,
