A new yield monitoring option is available for LEXION combines built in 2007.  The factory-installed Ag Leader Technology® yield mapping system includes a 10.4-inch color touch-screen INSIGHTTM display, GPS 1100 antenna and receiver, grain yield and moisture sensors, and SMSTM Basic mapping software.

According to Bob Armstrong, LEXION product marketing manager, Ag Leader Technology is one of the most widely-used yield monitoring technologies in North America.  Produced by Ag Leader Technology, Inc., of Ames, Iowa, the Ag Leader system monitors a wide range of crops, including corn, soybeans, wheat, rice and small grains.

"With the INSIGHT yield monitor, growers can monitor yield and moisture during harvest and see maps being generated in real-time," Armstrong says.  "This option is intended to provide an additional choice to growers who wish to remain consistent with data and other precision farming practices already being used in their operation."
LEXION will continue to offer its Quantimeter yield and moisture reading system.  The Quantimeter is available with the option of being upgraded to an integrated yield mapping system using LEXION's CEBIS in-cab display and the LEXION Yield Tools mapping software by Farm Works®.
