Abstract
A method of mapping a moisture level of a cut crop in a field includes identifying a cut time at which the cut crop was cut in the field. Elevation data, soil data, and weather data of the field are retrieved. A soil moisture map is then created to define a respective soil moisture level of the soil for each of a plurality of elevation zones in the field. The soil moisture map is based on a cut time, the elevation data, the soil data, and the weather data. A crop moisture map is then created to define a crop moisture level of the cut crop in each of the plurality of elevation zones in the field. The crop moisture map is based on the soil moisture map. By using the soil moisture map, the crop moisture map correlates the elevation data to the moisture levels of the cut crop.
