Farm project aims for real-time grain insight by Gemma Mackenzie
TECHNOLOGY: John Deere is working with researchers from Reading University.
New sensors to provide real-time data on grain quality are being developed by Reading University and John Deere.
The project, funded by European food innovation body EIT Food, aims to give growers real-time grain quality data in the combine at harvest.
Researchers have developed smart sensors, using a technique often found in medical sensory devices, to provide instant feedback on the quality of grains such as wheat, barley and oilseed rape.
“Our project is using near-infrared spectroscopy (nirs) to measure the quality of the grain samples being harvested from the field,” said John Hammond, professor of crop science at Reading University.
