Farmers should calibrate yield monitors once at the start or end of season, not repeatedly during harvest. Use the resulting yield maps to apply fertilizer only where it will pay off, avoiding waste on low-producing areas.

Don't over complicate things. Pay attention to getting yield data. Don't be absolutely hell bent on having the yield monitor dead accurate. If you're going to calibrate, either calibrate right at the very beginning or at the end, don't play with it through the season. Because as soon as you start calibrating through the season, what happens is you're going to shift all your yield data. The yield data is very important because ultimately that's what you get paid for. So you want to know what's going on. If we've got the information, well, why.
Not target it?
I look at it as an opportunity.
To say, push.
Our country.
Better, look after it better, try and maintain our nutrient rates and we're not wasting it on the poorer areas.
So just.
Makes sense to be able to try and do it. If we can measure it, why not do it.
