Timothy James Kraus is an accomplished inventor from Blakesburg, IA, USA, with an impressive portfolio of 99 patents. His latest patents showcase his expertise in the agricultural field, particularly in feed preparation and agricultural operations.

One of his recent patents, titled "Setting degree of maceration based on forage nutritive values," presents a method for preparing a feed ration for animals. The patent outlines the process of storing cut crop material in an oxygen barrier, fermenting it to form silage material, and determining the nutritive value of the silage using a nutrition sensor. Based on this analysis, an optimal level of maceration is determined and achieved using a mechanical macerator. The macerated silage material is then combined with other feed materials to define the feed ration for animals.

Another notable patent by Timothy James Kraus is the "System and method for suggesting an optimal time for performing an agricultural operation." This invention aims to generate suggestions for the optimal timing of agricultural operations in a given field. The method involves receiving data about the current condition of the crop, calculating a predicted optimal time to execute the agricultural operation using an agricultural model, and incorporating crowdsourcing data related to similar operations in the area. By adjusting the predicted timing with crowdsourced information, the invention generates a suggested optimal time for the agricultural operation. This information is then communicated and displayed remotely on a communicator.
