ABSTRACT:
An agricultural system for acquiring grain samples from a field includes a combine, a grain sample acquiring apparatus for acquiring a grain sample at a plurality of locations within the field, a location signal generating circuit, and a data recorder which communicates with the location signal generating circuit and records the sample site locations. A method of determining and recording locational variations in characteristics of a crop being harvested includes (a) obtaining a sample of the crop at each of a plurality of locations within the field and uniquely identifying each sample; (b) obtaining a locational description of each sample site; (c) correlating the sample identifications and corresponding locational descriptions into first data pairs; (d) recording the first data pairs in a first data file; (e) analyzing the samples to generate location-specific crop data; (f) correlating the location-specific crop data and the corresponding locational descriptions into second data pairs; and (g) recording the second data pairs in a second data file.
