Abstract: A method for evaluating post emergence crops, comprising: capturing images of an area of interest at a first point in time; geo-referencing the images with as-planted data; processing the images to isolate individual plants with the images; modeling the surface of the individual plants; generating at least one crop characteristic for each individual plant; identifying a location for each individual plant; and comparing the locations with as-planted data of expected plant locations.

Abstract: An agricultural data system comprising at least one stalk sensor disposed on a harvester configured to sense incoming crop stalks, at least one processor in communication with the at least one stalk sensor, and a display in communication with the at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to align as-planted data with as-harvested data from the at least one stalk sensor.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems providing enhanced feed rate control of tubing and conduit feeds by a powered feeder to an in-ground placement device moved across the ground by a steerable vehicle. In one aspect, ground speed of the vehicle is sensed. Feed motor speed is correlated to length of tubing or conduit estimated to be fed per feed wheel revolution by the feed motor. A controller adjusts feed motor speed to match ground speed to feed rate. In another aspect, instead of estimating feed rate by feed wheel rotation, actual speed of movement of the tubing or conduit is sensed. Feed motor speed is automatically and dynamically adjusted to match ground speed to tubing or conduit speed. In either embodiment, sensing of ground speed can be used to sense starting and stopping of the vehicle. This can be used to turn the feed motor on or off. In either embodiment, integration with a precision agriculture intelligent controller can allow operator control right from the precision ag display.

Abstract: A computerized graphical user interface is provided for temporal manipulation of spatial operations and information. The interface comprising a general-purpose computer adapted for execution of instructions, wherein the instructions include a graphical user interface, and data for use by the general-purpose computer and adapted to be acted upon by the executable instructions, wherein the data comprises a representation of spatial operations and information. The interface displays with the graphical user interface a plurality of temporal cells, associates the spatial data with the temporal cells for display on the graphical user interface, and manipulates the spatial data through the temporal cells.
