Abstract
A harvesting system includes a crop unloading machine having a volume measurement device configured to measure a volume of harvested crops, and a crop transport vehicle including a weight sensor configured to sense a weight of the harvested crops. The crop transport vehicle can receive crops from the crop unloading machine. The crop transport vehicle communicates the sensed weight to the crop unloading machine and the crop unloading machine calculates a crop yield based upon the sensed weight, the volume and a state of the crop unloading machine.
