1. Optimization of Forage Harvesting By Automatic Speed Control and Additive Application Efficient use of machines is especially important in forage harvesting due to the short harvesting period and expensive machinery. To achieve the best efficiency, a harvesting machine, such as a loader wagon, should be used with optimal loading. Whereas overloading the machine can cause blockages in the cut-and-feed unit, underloading consumes more time and reduces the quality of the resulting silage. In addition, the quality can be improved by optimizing the dosage of the additive. Since the... A. Suokannas, J. Backman, A. Visala, A. Kunnas Download paper
2. Capturing, Demonstrating And Delivering Value From Integrating Real-Time On-Farm Sensing With External Information Flows The requirement for significant productivity gains in the agricultural sector is undeniable. Sustainable, viable industries must be capable of consistently producing a margin above the base costs of production. This is particularly challenging for the extensive grazing enterprises in Australia as the operating environment has become increasingly complex, dynamic and challenging and there is a continual and increasing need to demonstrate improved efficiency to the wider community...
