ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided which analyzes spatially-variable harvest data for one of the passes made by an agricultural harvesting vehicle through an agricultural field. The harvesting vehicle supports an implement for harvesting crop during each pass through the field. The apparatus includes a digital memory, an electronic display, a processor circuit and an operator-actuatable input device. The digital memory stores a geo-referenced map of the field including harvest data representative of at least one sensed parameter of the harvested crop and pass data representative of the plurality of passes of the harvesting vehicle through the field. The processor circuit is configured to read the geo-referenced map of the field from the memory and to generate a display signal therefrom which, when applied to the electronic display, generates visible indicia of at least a portion of the field and at least one sensed parameter of the harvested crop. The operator-actuatable input device is coupled to the processor circuit and configured to generate an input signal which identifies one of the passes of the harvesting vehicle. The processor circuit analyzes the harvest data representative of the at least one sensed parameter of the harvested crop that was harvested by the implement during the identified pass of the vehicle, and generates the display signal to cause the electronic display to display a result of the analysis in association with the identified pass of the vehicle.
