monitor reads meter shaft
speeds and can report kg/ha (or pounds/acre) planted.
In order to report accurately, the monitor requires several
inputs. Inputs that rarely change were entered during drill
setup. Inputs specific to particular materials (seed or
fertilizer) need to be entered when those materials are
first used, and when changed.
