Documentation
Documentation applications allow you to collect field data and upload it
into Apex Farm Management Software to compile reports and produce maps
to help with decision making.
Field Doc™
Field Documentation is part of the Basics package and comes as
standard equipment on the GreenStar™ 2 (GS2) Display. It records
planting/seeding, product application or tillage operations. This data
is collected on the data card and can later be unloaded into the Apex
Farm Management Software where it can be shown in the form of maps and
reports.
Links the SeedStar™ controller with the GS2 System
When connected to a SeedStar™ planter, the GS2 will automatically
create a planting operation to make setup that much easier.
When using the GS2 with a John Deere air cart, you have the
ability to record both seeding and fertiliser operations. When connected
to the air cart, the GS2 will automatically populate an operation for
each tank of the cart.
Links the GS2 System to third-party controllers
Documentation of field operations remains important regardless of
controller brand. That’s why the GS2 is capable of communicating with
selected third-party controllers. Collectively, the system supplies you
with instantaneous data while logging it to a data card. This
information can be downloaded into Apex for further analysis and
reporting.
Field Documentation data can include:
-
Application / Seeding rates

-
Variety
-
Crop Type
-
Machine
-
Implement
-
Weather conditions
-
Soil Temperature
-
Field boundaries
Harvest Documentation for Combines
Harvest Documentation comes as standard equipment on the
GreenStar™ 2 (GS2) Display. It displays and records on-the-go yield
information for combines. All data is collected on the data card, and
can later be unloaded in the Apex Farm Management Software where it can
be shown in the form of maps and reports.
GreenStar™ Harvest Monitor™ System
GreenStar™ Harvest Monitor™ allows you to view measurements of
yield and moisture of crop as it is harvested. Either the original
GreenStar™ display or the GreenStar™ GS2 display can be used to display
Harvest Monitor™ information, leaving the CommandCenter™ to be used for
other critical combine functions.
The Harvest Monitor™ system can easily be upgraded to a GreenStar™

Harvest Doc™ system at any time with the GreenStar™ GS2 display or the
original GreenStar™ display and mobile processor.
Harvest Doc™ Combine
Harvest Doc™ Combine is an expansion of the earlier yield mapping
system. While Harvest Monitor™ allows you to monitor yield and moisture
measurements while the crop is being harvested, Harvest Doc™ takes the
next step and enables you to gather this data and record it to the data
card for downloading into Apex. The data can then be viewed as maps
and/or reports and used to make more informed management decisions.
Harvest Documentation for Self Propelled Forage Harvesters
Harvest Documentation comes as standard equipment on the
GreenStar™ 2 (GS2) Display. It displays and records on-the-go yield
information for Self Propelled Forage Harvesters. All data is collected
on the data card, and can later be unloaded in the Apex Farm Management
Software where it can be shown in the form of maps and reports.
GreenStar™ Harvest Monitor™ System
Harvest Monitor™ uses the GreenStar™ 2 (GS2) Display which allows
you to view a wide variety of information, including productivity,
throughput, total area harvested, total crop mass harvested, yield, and
moisture.
The Harvest Monitor™ system calculates tonnage harvested through
the use of a mass-flow sensor that measures the amount of material
passing through the feedrolls. Moisture information from the
HarvestLab™ sensor
is then used to determine the actual tonnage of material processed by
the harvester, in both actual tonnage and dry matter tonnage. Field
tests have shown this system to be extremely accurate.
Harvest Doc™ for Self Propelled Forage Harvesters
Harvest Doc™ is an expansion of the earlier yield mapping system.
While Harvest Monitor™ allows you to monitor yield and moisture
measurements while the crop is being harvested, Harvest Doc™ takes the
next step and enables you to gather this data and record it to the data
card for downloading into Apex. The data can then be viewed as maps
and/or reports and used to make more informed management decisions.
