摘要： A harvester with unconventional grain flow for collecting and measuring grain grown on strip test plots. A conventional harvester having a weigh bucket for measuring grain located at a high position is modified by reversing the grain flow of a lateral conveyor and locating the weigh bucket at a low position inside the vertical confines of the harvester. The modified grain path upstream of the weigh bucket reduces the time required to move harvested grain to the weigh bucket and thus the waiting time required between harvesting of successive strip plot tests.

摘要： A system for automated high throughput presentation of an ear of corn for image acquisition and evaluation is provided. The ear evaluation system may include an image acquisition system for acquiring an image of the ear of corn. An ear staging system may be configured for coordinating timing and movement of the ear of corn through the image acquisition system. The ear evaluation system may define a mobile structure. Thereby the mobile structure may be driven or towed over rows of corn in order to acquire images of the corn substantially simultaneously with picking the ears of corn. Accordingly, image data relating to ears of corn may be obtained in a rapid manner. A method for high throughput presentation of a plurality of ears of corn for image acquisition and evaluation is also provided.
