For every farmer, harvest time is the ultimate test of a year's hard work. But what if the data they collect during those few weeks of harvesting could make their next three years easier and more profitable?
With the latest upgrade to the FJD AYM Yield Monitoring solution, that is now a reality. By linking harvesting data directly to FieldFusion, FJD's smart farm management system, farmers can turn raw harvest numbers into a powerful plan for the future.
What Is FJD AYM?
The FJD AYM is a field-tested gold standard for yield monitoring. Whether farmers have a brand-new harvester or a trusted machine they've used for decades, AYM is designed to fit in seamlessly. In fact, this aftermarket kit can be installed on almost any combine made in the last 20 years.
How it works in 3 simple steps:
- Step1. Feed Grain: As grain enters the harvester's elevator, a high-precision moisture sensor reads the water content instantly.
- Step 2. Detect yield: As the grain passes through the elevator, the yield sensor detects it (how much grain is actually being picked up) in real time and processes the data.
- Step 3. Monitor & Record: This information is sent directly to the FJD display in the cab, giving farmers a live look at their performance.
Real-Time Visibility: Farming Data Control in the Cab
The AYM system does more than just record data for later use; it empowers farmers to make critical, informed decisions immediately. Here is how the system provides unmatched visibility during the harvest:
Live Yield Mapping and Moisture Measurement
Farmers can instantly see how field conditions—like wet low spots or dry hilltops—affect their crop yield. This allows them to analyze harvest performance immediately on the map screen.
Trustworthy Data with Easy Calibration
The system is designed for high accuracy and is very easy to set up. Farmers can produce reliable yield data they can trust with little calibration effort.
Live Grain Tank Counter
To stop the guesswork of when to call for a grain cart, the system shows exactly how much grain is in the tank at a glance. This helps operators know the perfect time to unload.
Integrated Workflow to Stay on Track
The AYM system works perfectly with the autosteering terminal, such as the FJD AT2 Auto Steer System. Guidance lines and vehicle icons stay visible in every view, so farmers never lose their path while checking harvest data.
AYM x FieldFusion: The Digital Farm Manager for Farmers
The big breakthrough for the new AYM version is its seamless connection to FieldFusion. Think of FieldFusion as the "brain" of a farm. All the yield and moisture data collected by the AYM is automatically synchronized to the cloud. This means the harvest history is safely stored and accessible from anywhere.
Why is this connection so important? Because it allows for informed decision-making. Farmers can log into FieldFusion to view and download their entire harvest history. Instead of relying on memory or handwritten notes, they can use digital maps to see exactly which parts of their field performed best.
They can then use this data to:
- Plan future planting: Identify "hot spots" that need more seeds or "weak spots" that need more fertilizer.
- Compare seasons: Query and download historical information to see if their yields are improving year over year.
- Create prescription maps: Use the harvest data to guide future variable-rate planting plans.
Farming Smarter, Not Harder
Harvesting is no longer just about getting the crop out of the field. It’s about gathering the information farmers need to grow a better crop next year. By combining the FJD AYM with FieldFusion, farmers get more than just a monitor—they get a roadmap for success.
Farerms can drive with confidence knowing that every bushel they harvest is being recorded, analyzed, and saved to help them manage their farm more effectively than ever before.
