Combine Camera Helps Stop Grain Loss

Combine Camera Helps Stop Grain Loss COMBINES Accessories 32-1-43 European farmers will be able to equip their 2008 New Holland CR combines with a Grain Cam. The device monitors broken kernels and non-grain material. Grain flowing past the camera lens is stopped briefly for an image to be captured. It is then analyzed electronically for broken faces and non-grain material and shown on the combine monitor as a graph or visual image, along with suggestions for the operator. Eventually, the combine automatically adjusts operation based on the analysis. Introduction to the North American market will depend on market response in European countries.
