Forage quality analysis and weighing

Forage harvesting is a critical phase in dairy and livestock farming, yet forage quality is often unknown until after storage, when decisions can no longer be optimized.

By integrating EVONIR sensor and weighing systems on forage wagons, it is possible to monitor both crop composition and harvested weight in real time, transforming forage collection into a data-driven and traceable process.

Why install NIR and weighing on a forage wagon?

Why install NIR and weighing on a forage wagon?

When forage quality and weight are not measured during harvesting, variability in dry matter, fiber and protein content becomes visible only after ensiling, when corrective actions are no longer possible. The combination of NIR analysis and weighing systems allows operators to:

  • Measure forage quality in real time during loading
  • Record exact harvested weight per load and per field
  • Improve logistics between field, wagon and storage
  • Enable full traceability of harvested material
  • Support data-driven feeding and agronomic decisions

Mobile Apps

FIELD scale

FIELD scale

FIELD scale is a tablet- and smartphone-based app designed to record and track the weighing of harvested forage directly from the field. Installed in the tractor cab, it connects wirelessly to the DG400-BT and integrates with FIELD trace cloud software.

Key features

  • Real-time weight recording of harvested forage for each load
  • Automatic data capture: weight, date and time logged without manual input
  • Wireless connection to DG400-BT
  • Complete load traceability from field to storage or feeding destination
  • Seamless integration with FIELD trace cloud platform
  • Automatic report generation for harvest documentation and forage management analysis

Weight Indicator for Forage Wagon

Weight Indicator for Forage Wagon

DG4000-BT is one of the most versatile weight indicators on the market, designed to seamlessly integrate with forage wagon weighing systems and digital farming applications. It can be connected directly to the tractor’s Virtual Terminal for real-time weight monitoring during loading and unloading operations, to the FIELD scale app for mobile data collection, and to remote displays for continuous weight visibility from the cab or around the machine.

Economic Impact of Forage Wagon Weighing

Economic Impact of Forage Wagon Weighing

A forage wagon weighing system with real-time data does more than measure harvested quantities; it improves harvesting efficiency and forage management, two key cost drivers in dairy and livestock farming.

Feed represents around 50-60% of total production costs (FAO, 2018; USDA ERS), while dry matter losses during harvest and storage can range from 5% to over 15% (Holmes & Muck, University of Wisconsin Extension). Accurate load measurement helps reduce losses, improve bunker management and support more efficient feeding decisions.

NIR & Imaging

EVONIR

EVONIR

EVONIR is an on-board NIR analyzer installed along the crop flow of the forage wagon to continuously scan forage during harvesting and loading.

The system measures key parameters such as dry matter, crude protein, fiber (ADF/NDF), starch and ash directly in real time, providing immediate visibility of crop quality.

Key advantages for forage wagon

  • Compatible with all forage wagon brands (OEM and retrofit)
  • Suitable for hay, grass silage, corn silage and TMR materials
  • Real-time data visualization on Virtual Terminal (ISOBUS / CAN J1939)
  • Continuous monitoring during loading and transport

Data Management · Software

FIELD trace

FIELD trace

FIELD trace collects and organizes all data generated during harvesting, transforming forage wagon operations into a structured and traceable data flow.

By integrating EVONIR and weighing data, the platform enables:

  • Field-by-field analysis of harvested forage
  • Quality variability mapping
  • Full traceability of loads and operations
  • Historical data analysis for future decisions
