Next Instruments CropScan 3000H On Combine Analyser

Next Instruments CropScan 3000H On Combine Analyser measures protein, oil and moisture during harvest of grains and oil seeds. The data is collected every 7 - 11 s in the paddock, and then allows the farmer to view a real-time paddock map for protein and oil in the cabin.

The data generated by the system is stored in the onboard PC as well as being sent to the cloud. A record of each bin load is sent to the CropNet website where the farmer can access and see the data in tabular and plot formats.

The farmer can also allow access to buyers and grain traders who can then buy parcels of grain stored on-farm.

The paddock maps allow farmers to blend for protein as they strip the grain. By identifying the sections of the paddock that produce >14% protein versus 11% protein, the farmer can combine both sections within the one bin load, enabling them to blend the wheat to meet prime hard grade consistently.
