Definitions

  • This invention relates to crop input application reports, and more particularly to automatically generated crop input application reports created on the crop input applicator or created at a mapping center
  • the controllers may use application maps, remote sensing, or real time sensors to apply a desired amount of crop inputs at the desired location in the field.
  • the application of crop inputs may be based on soil or crop sampling data, agronomic data, in field data, or any data affecting plant growth
  • a controller can apply crop inputs to areas which most need fertilizer or other crop inputs, while leaving untreated those areas which do not need fertilizer or crop inputs This process is often referred to as site specific farming, and has increased the efficiency and effectiveness of fertilizer and chemical use
  • the controller can also collect data related to the application for use in further refinement of the application maps Much of this "as applied" data is the same information needed to complete the product application reports
  • the controller or on board computer collects several other types of data, such as the rate of application, machine speed, machine spread path, GPS location, per product dispense delays, product flow rates, the type of product dispensed from each storage bin, time records relating to the application job, operator overrides to the intended rate, machine constraint warnings, and spray log information Though this data is collected, it is not automatically formatted into an application report form which can be submitted to the required regulating body
  • the present invention is a method for generating a crop input application report.
  • the report is created automatically either on- site by a controller located on the vehicle or remotely by a desktop computer
  • Data for the report is collected by the controller and associated sensors and actuators, which control the crop input applicator and provide feedback.
  • Other data may be collected from the operator, either during an application job or upon initialization of the software program on the vehicle's controller Data may likewise be obtained from external databases.
  • Typical data collected for the report includes time and date data, customerdata, location data, field condition data, applicator (dealer and vehicle operator) data, weather data, vehicle configuration data, and crop input data
  • Figure 1 is an example of one embodiment of a crop product application report.
  • Figure 2 is a diagrammatic representation of the hardware architecture used in automatically creating an application report
  • Figure 3 is a flow diagram illustrating the method of creating an application report on a controller
  • Figure 4 is a flow diagram illustrating the method of creating an application report at a remote site
  • Figure 1 is a graphical representation of a product application report 10.
  • Product application reports 10 are generated at the end of a crop product application job, i.e. after an applicator applies crop products on an agricultural field.
  • the term "crop products” means, but is not limited to, seeds, fertilizers, including micronutnents, pesticides, including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, manure, biosolids, waste materials, and any other soil amendment or addition of any kind used to facilitate crop growth.
  • Product application reports 10 are often required by the local, state, or federal government to track and regulate agricultural chemical use. To meet government regulations, the reports 10 must contain certain information.
  • Figure 1 is an example of a product application report 10 which contains a variety of information typically required by regulations
  • the product application report 10 includes a dealer information field 12, an application time field 14, a customer information field 16, a vehicle information field 18, a field location information field 20, a field condition field 22, a weather information field 24, a field image field 26, an application method field 28, a product information field 30, a comment field 32, and an operator information field 34.
  • a signature block 36 is also provided.
  • the dealer information field 12 gives the name, address, and phone number of the entity who is applying a product, and thus of the entity who is responsible for submitting the report.
  • the dealer is often either a farmer, fertilizer or chemical retailer, or a commercial applicator.
  • the dealer information field 12 may optionally contain the dealer license number.
  • a governmental unit, such as the state in which the dealer is located, may require that anyone who is applying highly regulated or restricted chemicals have an appropriate license.
  • the corresponding license number may be required to appear on the application reports 10 generated as a result of applying the restricted chemicals
  • the application time field 14 shows the start and stop time as well as the start and stop date for the reported application job. The start date and time of the application corresponds to the first time the controller goes into operation after entering the field.
  • the customer information field 16 contains such information as the customer's name, address, and phone number.
  • the vehicle information field 18 shows both the type of vehicle used to apply the crop inputs, as well as a description of the vehicle. Vehicle type is typically a trade name used to identify the particular vehicle used to apply the crop products. The vehicle description may be an identifier generated by a dealer to distinguish among several vehicles in the dealership fleet which may or may not be the same vehicle type.
  • the field location information field 20 contains either a legal or a longitude/latitude description of the location of the field. The legal description portion of the field 20 contains space for denoting the county, township, range, block, lot number, or section of the field being treated. When not describing the field using a legal description, the field can be described by giving the latitude and longitude of the southwest corner of the field.
  • the field condition field 22 contains such information as the target crop, whether the crop is in the pre-emergence or post- emergence stage, the crop's stage of growth, and the field's soil conditions and texture.
  • the target crop provides a place to identify the type of crop planted on the field.
  • the growth stage of the crop refers to the maturity of the crop and whether it is in the pre-emergence or post- emergence stage.
  • Soil conditions that may be recorded include whether the soil is wet, dry, normal, cloddy, trashy, compact, or tilled. Soil texture may be described as either fine, medium, or course.
  • the weatherfield 24 contains current weather information, such as the temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and humidity.
  • the weather information is recorded when the machine is not moving or applying crop products, which results in a more accurate reading.
  • Temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and humidity all potentially have an effect on the proper application of crop inputs.
  • Certain chemicals have a temperature and humidity range in which the chemical is approved for application.
  • an operator may not choose to apply a certain chemical if the wind speed or direction is not optimal due to the potential for the chemicals to drift and be carried by the wind to areas other than those desired.
  • the field image field 26 contains a space for a graphical representation of the agricultural field (a field boundary map) and a depiction of the areas of the field to which crop products have been applied.
  • the application method field 28 shows whether the crop products were applied in a conventional manner, or whether the crop products were applied at a variable rate.
  • Conventional application refers to applying a crop product at a constant rate at all points in the field.
  • Variable rate application refers to applying crop product at varying rates and amounts at different points in the field
  • nozzle information relating to nozzle spacing and pressure.
  • the product information field 30 provides space for recording the specific types of chemicals or fertilizer applied by the vehicle, the product's EPA registration number, the maximum and minimum rate at which the product was applied, the total amount of crop product applied, and the total number of acres in the treated area.
  • the EPA registration number refers to an Environmental Protection Agency number which has been assigned to the product being applied.
  • the maximum and minimum rates of application refer to the rate at which a particular product is to be applied per unit of measurement (e g pounds per acre)
  • the job total provides a space for reporting the total amount of crop product applied (e g pounds)
  • the treated area provides a space for recording the total number of acres treated by a particular crop product
  • Reporting the total amount of product applied is important in states which require a stamped weight ticket indicating the total amount of product applied. This is also beneficial to the customer in that it provides a record of the amount of product applied and thus provides a way to more accurately charge the customer for that product
  • the comments field 32 is an empty space which allows the operator, farmer, or dealer to make any comments relating to the product application report as are necessary to clarify items Typical comments which may be recorded include whether there were wind gusts during application, or field conditions such as the fact that half of the field had been tilled, while the other half remained unworked
  • the operation information field 34 gives the name and license number of the operator who is driving the vehicle
  • the signature block 36 provides a space for the person completing the report to sign the report
  • the fields on the application report 10 must comply with various local, state, and federal regulations Since each set of regulations may differ at different locations, different fields may be necessary to ensure the report complies with the applicable regulations Thus, the application report 10 may contain more or less detailed information depending upon the regulations of the state or area in which its being used
  • the report 10 shown in Figure 1 is merely an example illustrating one type of report, other formats are available and different types of templates may be used to display similar information
  • Much of the data contained in the report 10 is "as applied" data which can be collected by a controller.
  • a product application report can be automatically created using the controller to collect most of the data necessary to complete the application report. Any other data required for the report can be obtained from either the machine, the operator, or a remote database. Once collected, this data can then be processed using software loaded onto the controller into report form so that the report contains all the required information.
  • Each report file contains a template having several empty report fields, similar to the uncompleted report shown in Figure 1.
  • Figure 2 is a diagrammatic representation of the hardware architecture used in automatically creating an application report.
  • the report can either be generated on the vehicle or off the vehicle. It follows that there are both on vehicle components 50, and off vehicle components 52.
  • the on board components 50 include a controller 54 with software 56, a display screen 58, data input device 60, and optionally a printer 62, all of which are typically located within the vehicle cab 64.
  • a desktop computer 72 with accompanying software 74 includes a display 76, a linked database 78, a data input device 80, and optionally a printer 82
  • application maps 84 and a modem 86 are also shown, which can be used to transport data between the controller 54 and the desktop computer 72
  • controller 54 Central in creating the product application report is the controller 54
  • One example of a suitable controller is the Falcon controller manufactured by AgChem Equipment Co Inc of Minnetonka, Minnesota
  • the Falcon controller includes a 133 megahertz Pentium microcomputer with a 1 3 GB hard drive and 16MB of RAM.
  • the controller 54 has a display 58, such as a computer screen, which allows the operator to view the actions of the controller 54 as well as view the report data and any queries asking for data to be entered
  • the controller 54 also has a data input device 60, such as a keyboard, keypad, or mouse, and may optionally have a printer 62
  • the display 58 and keypad and mouse 60 allow the user interface to be simple and uncomplicated, so that operators with a variety of educational backgrounds can easily use it
  • the optional printer 62 allows an operator to print a completed report from the cab 64 of the vehicle
  • the software 56 processes the data collected by the controller 54 and incorporates the data in to the appropriate report fields on the report form template
  • Part of the report making software 56 are databases for storing data which will aid in completing certain report fields on the product application reports
  • An example of a database in software 56 is a product database containing product information and EPA number information
  • the product database in software 56 can be updated from either map information, or information that is manually entered and edited by an operator
  • Such a database is advantageous because when the type of product being applied is entered the controller can automatically determine the EPA number, active ingredients, or other information that may optionally be incorporated into the report using the database Other such databases may be necessary to allow the software 56 to store data which will be used in completing the report.
  • the location system 68 is typically a GPS system which is integrated with the controller 54
  • the location system 68 provides geographic information which can be used by the controller to not only apply crop products at desired locations, but which can also be used to record the location of variable rate application of crop products
  • the sensors and actuators 66 are connected to the controller 54 to allow for instructions to be sent to the sensors/actuators 66, as well as for feedback data to be returned to the controller 54.
  • the controller 54 uses the location system 68, the actuators/sensors 66, and optional weather station 70, collects and stores data forthe product application report Specifically, the controller 54 collects and electronically stores "as applied" data As applied data is a record of what was actually applied to the field and is generated after considering several factors, including the rate of crop product actually applied on a site by site basis, machine ground speed at each site, machine spread path width, differentially corrected GPS location, loss of the GPS signal, per product dispense delays, product flow rates, whether different products are dispensed from separate bins, or the same products are dispensed from separate bins, tendering delays, weather delays, or other delays causing a job suspend, operator overrides to the intended rate machine constraint warnings, and spray log information such as wind speed, direction, temperature, and ground conditions.
  • As applied data which is collected by the controller and is used to complete an application report includes the time and date; field location data when it is recorded in the form of longitude and latitude; product information relating to the rate the product was applied, the total amount of product applied, and the total area which was covered; application rate data relating to whether the application was done at a variable rate or a constant rate; and field image data including a field boundary image with an indication of the area in the field which was treated with a crop product.
  • the software 56 may query the operator and electronically store the resulting inputs as part of the report.
  • Such queries are visually displayed on the display screen 58 and the operator can enter the requested data using the keypad/mouse 60.
  • the software 56 interface may include several drop down menus allowing an operator to easily point and click on the appropriate response
  • the options which the operator can choose from on the drop down menu are stored in an internal database as part of the software 56.
  • the software searches the saved strings and displays all those that match in a drop down menu.
  • Data which may be completed by an operator, and thus may appear in a drop down menu, includes operator data, customer data, vehicle information relating to a description of the vehicle used, field location information when given in the form of a legal description, and the field data relating to the type of crop, its stage of growth, and soil conditions and texture.
  • the operator may also enter weather information relating to wind speed and direction, the temperature, and humidity, may indicate whether the application rate is variable or constant, and may also enter information relating to the types of nozzles used by the applicator machine.
  • the operator may enter product information, such as the product name, its EPA registration number, and the maximum and minimum rate at which the product should be applied
  • product information such as the product name, its EPA registration number, and the maximum and minimum rate at which the product should be applied
  • the software can be programmed to link the EPA number to the product name, so that the operator need not separately enter the EPA number.
  • the maximum and minimum rates of application can be linked to the product name and thus be filled in automatically by the software.
  • the operator may enter comments relating to the application job.
  • the software 56 on controller 54 processes the data and formats it so that it appears in the correct report field on the report template.
  • the finished report is saved to a floppy disk by default, but may also be printed if the cab 64 contains a printer 62.
  • the report can be sent via a modem 86 to an off vehicle site, such as a mapping center, for more permanent storage.
  • the report data may be saved on the controller's 54 hard drive in an application record file. This file would input new files and delete the oldest files to maintain an acceptable file size. More specifically, there may be room for fifty files, and once a fifty-first job is performed, the data from the fifty-first job is saved over the data from the oldest file (the first file)
  • Off vehicle components 52 used in creating the report are very similar to the on board components 50.
  • Off vehicle components 52 include a desktop computer 72 with associated display 76, typically a computer monitor, and data input devices 80, typically a keyboard and mouse Unlike the cab 64, the desktop computer 72 is very likely to have an attached printer 82 Just as the controller 54 is central to creating a report on the vehicle, the desktop computer 72 is central to creating the report when done off the vehicle
  • Report making software 74 is loaded on the desktop computer 72, making it possible to process data collected by the controller 54 into report form
  • the majority of data for the report is collected on the vehicle 50 by either the controller 54 or from the operator and is saved, preferably to a floppy disk, by the controller 54
  • the data is transferred from the controller 54 to the desktop computer 72, usually by physically transporting a disk from the vehicle to an off site location with a desktop computer 72
  • Other options may include using a modem based communication link 86 to email the data from the controller 54 to the computer 72.
  • a person completing the report is able to view the report template and any data on the display screen 76 using the report software 74
  • the person can also input data using the keyboard and mouse 80.
  • Data from a remote database 78 may also be used in creating the report
  • the remote database 78 may be linked to the desktop computer 72 so that the data can be automatically linked to the correct report field in the report template.
  • the report is created using the software 74 on the desktop computer 72
  • the desktop computer 72 is located at a mapping center which creates the application maps 84 used by the controller 54
  • mapping centers are particularly convenient because the computers 72 often will already contain some of the data necessary to complete the report as well as compatible software
  • a software package available to mapping centers for creating application maps on a desktop computer 72 is SGIS, which is available from AgChem Equipment Co , Inc of Minnetonka, Minnesota.
  • Desktop computers 72 used for the SGIS mapping package are recommended to be 300 megahertz Pentium computers, running Windows 95 and having 64 megabytes of RAM, and a 3 gigabyte hard drive, at a minimum.
  • the SGIS mapping software converts agricultural data into geo-referenced maps and creates site specific product application maps for use with a Falcon control system.
  • data from a variety of sources is input through the SGIS software.
  • applied and operator data collected by the controller 54 can be input through SGIS and used in connection with the inventive software 74 to create product application reports.
  • the report can be printed on the associated printer 80 as well as stored on the desktop computer's 72 hard drive. Since the desktop computer 72 has much more memory than an on board controller 54, more data can be stored on the desktop computer 72 and there are no limits as to the number of application jobs which can be stored. For instance, one option would be to use a file in SGIS to store the completed reports for seven years, while the application data would be saved in a file with limited space.
  • the operator has the option of editing the report so that certain data appearing in the report fields is not the data collected by the controller 54. Editing can occur both when the report is created on the vehicle and when the report is created at a desktop computer 72 off the vehicle. Should the person creating the report override the data obtained by the controller 54, the report may indicate this fact by marking the affected data field with an asterisk once the report is printed.
  • Data which may need to be entered or edited by the report maker at either the Falcon controller or the mapping center includes weather information, customer information, operator information, vehicle information, nozzle information, product information, the field location information, and any comments made in the comment area.
  • Allowing the report to be made at a mapping center is desirable because it does not require the operator of the vehicle to spend time filling out reports when the operator's time is better spent applying crop products.
  • the digital copies of the report files can easily be digitally archived by storing them in a database, or even by saving the files to a floppy disk or compact disk.
  • Figures 3 and 4 illustrate methods for creating a product application report at the controller and at the mapping center, respectively.
  • Figure 3 is a flow diagram 90 illustrating a method for creating a product application report on the vehicle using the controller. The method begins with the first step 92 of loading the software onto the on board computer or controller. When the software is loaded onto the controller, it may be necessary to enter relevant data that will be required by the software to creating the report. Preferably, all vehicle information not available to be pulled up from the Falcon controller should be entered upon initial installation of the software by the customer.
  • Machine parameters may need to be inputted as the software is loaded onto the controller.
  • Machine parameters include such items as the type of vehicle used, the type of crop product applicator equipment carried or towed by the vehicle (spreaders, spray booms, planters, toolbars, etc.), information related to the dispensing points on the vehicle, such as the pressure in an air boom, nozzle size, and spacing of the dispensing points. If not entered upon the initial installation of the report making software, machine parameters may be entered by the operator at each start up of the vehicle.
  • the report is an empty template with several report fields which are ready to be filled with the appropriate data
  • the controller collects and electronically stores product application data as the vehicle applies crop products.
  • applied data including time and date data, latitude and longitude of a corner of the field, a field image, and data relating to the amount of products applied and the area to which they are applied, is collected by the controller and associated sensors and actuators and is electronically stored.
  • Data my also be collected from application maps, the locator system, an optional weather station, sensors, or a database housed in the controller (such as one containing machine parameters).
  • the third step 96 involves collecting data from the vehicle operator.
  • This data collection may be in the form of drop down menus shown on a computer screen allowing the operator to use a mouse to make selections, or by having the operator simply key in the requested information using a standard keyboard or touchpad.
  • the type of information that may be gained by querying the operator includes the operator's name and license number. Other information may be weather information, crop and soil information, a vehicle description, nozzle information, product name and optionally its EPA number, and certain location information (e.g. the type of adjoining crops, the legal description of the plot of land being spread)
  • the operator may likewise be responsible for the entering customer name and address
  • the operator may enter any comments relating to the application job
  • the fourth step 98 in completing the report is optionally to query a database for certain other data
  • the database may be a remote database accessible by modem
  • An example of data that may be collected from a remote database is certain weather information
  • Another example of data collected from a remote database may be any restrictions related to the piece of land being spread, such as the correct reentry interval, whether there is any feeding or grazing done on that property, or whether there are wetlands
  • the fifth step 100 is to process the stored data and place the data into the appropriate report fields on the report template
  • Some report fields may be filled with data which requires little or no processing, while other report fields may use information which is generated based on other collected data
  • the field image field may be completed with a map that has been generated by the controller using product application rate data and location data collected from the GPS Because the controller functions are needed when the controller is operational, i e when the vehicle is applying crop product, the report is generated only when the controller is in standby mode rather than operate mode
  • the sixth step 102 is to save the completed report to disk It may also be possible to print the report, download the report to a floppy disk or send the report to a database located off the vehicle for archival
  • the controller may have an attached printer in the cab in the vehicle When no printer is available the report can be downloaded to a disk for easy transport to a storage site, such as a mapping center, where the report can eventually be printed
  • the controller may be equipped with a modem, which allows the completed report to be e-mailed to a mapping center for printing or storage
  • the report is generated at a mapping center, or other location remote from the vehicle
  • Figure 4 is a flow diagram 105 illustrating the method of creating an application report at a remote site
  • the first step 110 is to load the necessary software onto both the vehicle s controller and a desktop computer located off the vehicle Loading the software onto the vehicle's controller may also require the operator to enter certain data relating to the vehicle, such as the type of machine, the type of applicator

  • the data may be processed at the desktop computer to allow the data to be placed in the report fields in the desired format
  • a minimal amount of data processing may also occur on the controller before the data is transported via disk
  • the completed product application report is electronically saved and preferably printed to create a hard copy
  • a major benefit of creating the product application reports using computer software is that a digital copy results Digital copies are much easier to manage and, unlike paper copies, do not require physical storage space or filing expertise
  • One option for archiving the product application reports is to save the reports in the SGIS database for as long as is practical or may be required.
