Method for recalibrating a material attribute monitor for a mobile vehicle

A method for recalibrating a material attribute monitor for a mobile vehicle, comprising:

• accumulating an aggregate amount of material from a plurality of material transfers;
• accumulating a plurality of material attribute data sets via a series of data transfers from at least one vehicle to another vehicle, wherein each material attribute data set of said plurality of material attribute data sets is associated with a corresponding material transfer of said plurality of material transfers;
• measuring aggregate material attributes of said aggregate amount of material;
• and
• generating material attribute calibration data from the accumulated plurality of material attribute data sets and the measured aggregate material attributes for use in recalibrating the material attribute monitor,
• wherein said plurality of material transfers includes a plurality of initial material transfers from at least one material harvesting vehicle to a first material transfer vehicle, and at least one supplemental material transfer by said first material transfer vehicle to a second material transfer vehicle.

A method for recalibrating a material attribute monitor for a mobile vehicle, comprising:

• accumulating an aggregate amount of material from a plurality of material transfers;
• accumulating a plurality of material attribute data sets via a series of data transfers from at least one vehicle to another vehicle, wherein each material attribute data set of said plurality of material attribute data sets is associated with a corresponding material transfer of said plurality of material transfers;
• measuring aggregate material attributes of said aggregate amount of material;
• and
• generating material attribute calibration data from the accumulated plurality of material attribute data sets and the measured aggregate material attributes for use in recalibrating the material attribute monitor,
• wherein each receiver of a material transfer contributing to said plurality of material transfers includes a data transfer module, wherein with each successive material transfer of said plurality of material transfers each previously generated material attribute data set of said plurality of material attribute data sets associated with said each successive material transfer is transferred in a cascading fashion to a next data transfer module on a material transfer vehicle that receives said material transfer.

A method for recalibrating a grain attribute monitor for a combine, comprising:

• monitoring grain attributes of harvested grain;
• monitoring each transfer of said harvested grain that contributes to an aggregate amount of grain loaded into a grain transfer vehicle;
• generating a grain attribute data set associated with said each transfer of said harvested grain;
• accumulating a plurality of grain attribute data sets via a series of data transfers, said plurality of grain attribute data sets corresponding to said harvested grain and said each transfer of said harvested grain;
• measuring aggregate grain attributes of said aggregate amount of grain;
• and
• generating grain attribute calibration data from the accumulated plurality of grain attribute data sets and the measured aggregate grain attributes for use in recalibrating the grain attribute monitor,
• wherein each receiver of a grain transfer of at least a portion said harvested grain includes a respective data transfer module, wherein with each grain transfer of said plurality of grain transfers each previously generated grain attribute data set of said plurality of grain attribute data sets is transferred in a cascading fashion to the data transfer module on a corresponding grain transfer vehicle that receives said grain transfer.
