A cleaning system includes cleaning sieves for separating grain kernels from grain chaff, clean grain collectors arranged below respective ones of the at least two cleaning sieves for receiving the separated grain kernels therefrom, and a clean grain transporter coupled to the grain collectors and arranged to receive the separated grain kernels from the grain collectors and transport the grain kernels towards a grain storage. The clean grain transporter is configured to simultaneously facilitate a first crop stream including primarily grain kernels coming from a first one of the clean grain collectors and a second crop stream including primarily grain kernels coming from another one of the clean grain collectors. A camera system captures an image of a sample of the grain kernels in the first crop stream and an image of a sample of the grain kernels in the second crop stream.
