Breakeven Analysis for a Cotton Yield Monitor Information System

J.A. Larson, R.K. Roberts, B.C. English, and R.L. Cochran

ABSTRACT

Cotton yield monitors are a relatively new technology and their cost of ownership has not been thoroughly evaluated. This research evaluated the breakeven yield gains and input savings required to cover the cost of a yield monitoring information system. Results suggest that for a farm with 528 cotton acres, a yield gain of 19 lb/acre was required to pay for the yield monitoring information system if it was used for making variable rate nitrogen input decisions.
