A reaper is a farm implement or person that reaps (cuts and often also gathers) crops at harvest when they are ripe. Usually the crop involved is a cereal grass. The first documented reaping machines were Gallic reaper that was used in modern-day France during Roman times. The Gallic reaper involved a comb which collected the heads, with an operator knocking the grain into a box for later threshing.
Remote monitoring for detecting crop loss
A crop loss monitoring method includes detecting crop loss in a measurement area when the measurement area corresponds to an unharvested area of a field and generating pre-harvest crop loss sensor data based thereon. The method further includes detecting crop loss in the measurement area when the measurement area is behind a distal end of a header of a harvester and generating harvesting crop loss sensor data based thereon. The method further includes identifying a pre-harvest crop loss value based on the pre-harvest crop loss sensor data, identifying a harvesting crop loss value based on the harvesting crop loss sensor data and the pre-harvest crop loss value, and generating one or more control signals based on at least one of the pre-harvest crop loss value or the harvesting crop loss value.
