===Yield monitoring===
'''Yield monitoring''' is increasingly critical in modern agriculture, especially with the integration of real-time data. This system measures the amount of grain harvested and calculates the '''yield per unit area''' (e.g., bushels per acre or tonnes per hectare). By utilizing '''sensors''' that measure the amount of grain passing through the combine, yield monitoring systems provide real-time data, allowing farmers to identify areas within the field that are more or less productive. These variations in yield can be addressed with '''variable crop inputs''', such as fertilizers or irrigation, tailored to the specific needs of different areas of the field. Yield is typically determined by comparing the amount of grain harvested with the area covered, offering valuable insights into field performance and allowing for more precise agricultural practices.
