John Deere John Deere Constituent Sensing

The system offers continuous real-time forage analysis, enhancing silage preservation and controlling feed cost. With integrated machine control, it optimizes milk and energy production while reducing cattle illnesses, ensuring fine-tuned forage quality through length and inoculant adjustments.

Precise nutrient measurements are taken in real-time for corn, alfalfa, and small-grain silage using HarvestLab™ for over 4000 per second readings. This facilitates real-time forage monitoring and machine adjustments to maintain optimal feed ration balance, leading to improved crop outputs.

John Deere Forage Constituent Sensing allows for precise application of silage inoculants using the HarvestLab™ 3000 sensor. This ensures insertion rates adjust according to moisture and nutrient levels, maximizing silage quality and minimizing spoilage across the 8000 and 9000 Series Self-Propelled Forage Harvesters.
