Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to automated systems and methods for capturing, processing and sharing farming data, and more particularly to systems and methods for capturing farming operation data in real time using passive data collection devices attached to farming equipment while the farming equipment is used to perform the farming operations, and then processing and sharing the farming operation data via an online farming data exchange system or server.
  • Contemporary farming machines such as tractors and planters, include computer systems and controllers capable of permitting farmers and farming business to exercise extremely precise control over almost every aspect of a farming operation, such as fertilizing, planting, spraying or harvesting crops in a field.
  • a technique known as precision farming the computer systems and related technology available today permits farming businesses to program the farming equipment to carry out farming operations almost entirely under automated control of software programs that can automatically activate and deactivate the machines, and even particular sections, row units, nozzles or blades on the implement at precisely the right time and place in order to optimize inputs such as seed, pesticide and fertilizer, and thereby achieve greater yields.
  • the computer systems and technology onboard the farming vehicles and farming implements typically transmit, receive and respond to electronic messages containing an enormous amount of very detailed operational data that describes almost every aspect of the farming operation.
  • the farming vehicle and the farming implement used during a farming operation are a tractor and a sprayer, respectively
  • the tractor and the sprayer will use the onboard computer systems and computer network to exchange and respond to a large number of messages that include critical operating parameters for the sprayer, such as, among other things, the sprayer's on/off status, working width, x-offset (i.e., driving direction), y-offset, target rate, application rate, master valve on/off status, total volume of spray applied, total area sprayed, total distance driven and total time used.
  • critical operating parameters for the sprayer such as, among other things, the sprayer's on/off status, working width, x-offset (i.e., driving direction), y-offset, target rate, application rate, master valve on/off status, total volume of spray applied, total area sprayed
  • critically important farming operation data such as how much seed, fertilizer, water, and pesticide were used on a particular field, how often the field was treated with a particular chemical, which parts of the field were left untreated for some reason, what were the weather conditions during the farming operation, what kind of equipment was used to perform the farming operation, which settings were activated during the farming operation, and which field was treated during the farming operation often goes uncollected and, therefore, remains unavailable for study and analysis to the farmers and other interested parties in the agricultural industry.
  • the Farms Services Agency (FSA) of the USDA is currently in the process of developing and implementing a common land unit (CLU) data layer (or database) to provide farm agency programs with a mapping of all of the farm fields in the United States, or at least all of those farm fields involved, or likely to be involved, in FSA programs.
  • CLU common land unit
  • the FSA defines a common land unit (CLU) as a unit of agricultural land associated with United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) farm programs and that has a permanent, contiguous boundary, a common land cover and land management, a common owner and a common producer.
  • CLU boundaries are usually delineated by relatively permanent features such as fence lines, roads, and/or waterways.
  • the official CLU data layer is intended to provide an accurate description of the locations, shapes and sizes of the fields where farming operations are taking place.
  • CLUs are mainly created by the tedious process of manual inspections conducted on the land, or viewing satellite-generated images of the land and drawing boundaries on maps that match landmarks and demarcations (such as fence lines, roads and/or waterways) as observed by the humans viewing the satellite images. Both of these methods for creating CLUs are labor-intensive and error-prone, and typically result in extremely inaccurate and unreliable CLU boundaries.
  • Another problem associated with the CLU data layer is that the process of manually drawing boundaries around landmarks to create the CLUs does not account for sections of farming land that, for one reason or another, are not currently being used for farming operations.
  • CLUs merely describe field perimeters, and fail to account for, or even identify, potentially large sections of infertile or otherwise non-arable land that may be wholly encompassed by those perimeters, which are not being used for farming operations. These areas may exist, for example, because they cover a part of a field that is too wet, or too rocky, or too steep to plant.
  • the current process for creating and defining CLUs also does not account very well for ownership changes on the land, or agreements between owners to merge tracts of land for joint farming operations.
  • Embodiments of the current invention address the above-described problems by providing a relay device, a farming data exchange system and computer-implemented methods for tracking, collecting, storing and sharing farming operation data for farming businesses. Accordingly, one embodiment of the present invention provides a relay device for collecting, interpreting, storing and transmitting data associated with farming operations that take place at a farming business.
  • a farming business is any area of land or water (for aquaculture) that is devoted primarily to producing and managing food (i.e. produce, grains, or livestock), fibers, and increasingly fuel.
  • a farming business may be owned and operated by a single individual, a family, a community, a corporation or a company, and can be a holding of any size.
  • a farming business may comprise, without limitation, a dairy farm, an orchard, a vineyard, a stable, a ranch, a garden, a fish farm, a feedlot, a farmstead or a plantation.
  • a farming operation for a farming business is any farming job, task, chore, assignment or activity performed on or over land or water at the farming business, including without limitation, activities such as clearing land, tilling soil, mowing grass, irrigating or crop-dusting a field, feeding, herding or transporting animals, or fertilizing, planting, spraying or harvesting a crop.
  • Farming vehicles may include, without limitation, tractors, trucks, automobiles, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), or any other self-propelled vehicle or machine typically used to carry out farming operations.
  • Farming implements may include, without limitation, cultivators, pickers, harrows, plows, rotators, rollers, mowers, seeders, feeders, planters, drills, spreaders, fertilizers, sprayers, sorters, harvesters, conveyors, carts, wagons, threshers, pickers, reapers, transporters, loaders, balers, milking machine, grinder, splitter or trailer, to name a few examples.
  • the relay device includes a microprocessor, a bus connector, a global positioning receiver, a memory storage area, a cellular radio and an application program.
  • the bus connector connects the relay device to a message bus on a farming vehicle or farming implement, the message bus being configured to carry messages generated by the farming vehicle or the farming implement while the farming vehicle and the farming implement are used to perform the farming operation.
  • the global positioning system (GPS) receiver receives position and time signals from space-based satellites while the farming operation is performed.
  • the memory storage area in the relay device stores (i) an electronic farm record for the farming business, (ii) descriptive information about one or more farming operation land segments associated with the farming business, and (iii) a collection of implement profiles defining, for a collection of known farming implements, a known manufacturer code, a known device class, a known version and a known communication protocol.
  • the electronic farm record for the farming business includes general information about the farming business, as well as detailed descriptions for each farming operation carried out at the farming business, including, for example, information indicating the date, time and location of each farming operation, the type of farming operation (e.g., fertilizing, planting or spraying operations) and certain operating events that occurred during the performance of each farming operation.
  • the electronic farming record also includes precision farming data for each farming operation carried out at the farming business, including, for instance, the volume and type of fertilizer, pesticide, feed or seed used during the farming operation, the weather conditions during the farming operation, as well as all of the operating states, modes and operating parameters used by the farming implement during the farming operation, as reflected in the messages transmitted over the message bus by the farming implement and the farming vehicle while the farming operation is performed.
  • the memory storage area on the relay device includes descriptive information about one or more farming operation land segments, or “FOLS,” associated with the farming business.
  • a FOLS is a contiguous or non-contiguous parcel of land on the earth where a farming operation takes place, and as such, may comprise a farm, field, lot or pasture, or a combination of two or more farms, fields, lots or pastures.
  • the descriptive information about one or more FOLS may be recorded in the memory in a variety of different ways, including without limitation, a latitude coordinate, a longitude coordinate, a perimeter or boundary for a farm, field or lot, a shape file for a farm, field or lot, a surface area measurement for a farm, field or lot, or a length for a perimeter for a farm, field or lot, to name but a few examples.
  • a FOLS may or may not correspond with an official government-sponsored zone or other designation for a farm, field or lot.
  • a FOLS may also comprise any identifiable parcel of land associated with the farming business, taking into account the local or national system for naming parcels of farming land in the area of interest.
  • each FOLS in the collection of FOLS described in the memory storage area of the relay device might be defined to be coextensive with a CLU.
  • a FOLs could also be defined by the system operator as encompassing two or more CLUs, partially traversing one or more CLUs (not coextensive with them), entirely encompassed by a CLU, or something altogether different from a CLU, as may be desirable or necessary under the circumstances.
  • a FOLS may include land that is not actually treated by a farming implement during a particular farming operation.
  • a farming operation such as planting corn, may only cover a portion of an entire FOLS (e.g., the northernmost end of a designated FOLS).
  • descriptive information about a collection of designated FOLS associated with the farming business is stored in the memory of the relay device so that the application program may subsequently use the stored FOLS descriptions to determine and report, based on GPS signals and operating events, which FOLS hosted the farming operation, as will be described in more detail below.
  • the application program comprises programming instructions that, when executed by the microprocessor, will cause the microprocessor to automatically extract content from one or more messages transmitted on the message bus, and then use the extracted content to automatically determine that there is a match between the farming implement used to perform the farming operation and the known farming implement in the implement profile. Because of this match, the system now “knows” which farming implement is being used, and because of the known communication protocol for the known farming implement, the system now “knows” the “language” that the farming implement uses to communicate with the farming vehicle over the message bus.
  • an operating event may include, for instance, events associated with the farming implement, such as activating and deactivating the implement, activating and/or deactivating certain sections or row units on the implement, receiving a signal or instruction from the farming vehicle, a transmission by the implement of a signal representing a low-feed, low-fuel or power-fail condition, an increase or decrease in volume or pressure readings, etc.
  • the application program is configured to derive operative events based on changes in operating parameters for the farming implement or farming vehicle that occur while the farming operation is being performed. For example, if the application program of the relay device interprets a message (in accordance with the communication protocol) to indicate that a “flow rate” operating parameter associated with a particular nozzle on a sprayer implement has dropped to zero, then the application program may be configured to record the change in the flow rate operating parameter as a “deactivation” operating event for the nozzle.
  • the boundaries and surface areas for the land subjected to the planting and harvesting operations may be somewhat smaller than (or different from) the boundaries and surface areas covered by the land clearing, soil tilling and fertilizing operations.
  • it may be important, for farming data collection and sharing purposes, to keep track of, not only the FOLS where a farming operation took place, but also the travel path for the farming operation that takes place on the FOLS.
  • the application program of the present invention also uses the extracted content, the position and time signals from the GPS receiver and the known communication protocol defined by the implement profile for the known farming implement to determine a “travel path” for the farming operation.
  • a travel path for a farming operation is a specific area of land on the earth (or in a FOLS) where a farming operation (e.g., planting corn) is performed by the farming vehicle and farming implement.
  • a farming operation e.g., planting corn
  • the travel path does not include any areas of land on the FOLS where the farming operation (planting corn) was not performed during the farming operation.
  • the travel path for that farming operation is the entire surface area of the field (or FOLS) EXCEPT for the area of land sitting underneath or surrounding the cellphone tower.
  • a map representing the travel path for the corn planting farming operation would have a hole (or gap) in it corresponding to the portion of the field sitting underneath or surrounding the cellphone tower.
  • examples of row units may include, without limitation, a disc for turning the ground, a plow for rolling the ground, a harrow for breaking up the ground, a tine for smoothing out the ground, a seed-dropping mechanism for dropping seed in the ground, a spray nozzle for spraying pesticide or fertilizer, a spout for spreading a pesticide or fertilizer, a mechanism for cutting or harvesting a crop, or a combination of two of such devices.
  • the application program in the relay device uses the set of operating events, the travel path and the descriptive information about the FOLS stored in the memory to identify the FOLS where the farming operation occurred. In some embodiments, the application will further determine the type of farming operation that occurred. Non-limiting examples of farming operation types include planting, spraying, fertilizing, feeding and harvesting.
  • the application program records the details of the farming operation, including the farming operation type, date and time, as well as the appropriate descriptive information for the FOLS where the farming operation occurred, in the electronic farm record for the farming business.
  • a farming data exchange system comprising a microprocessor, a first data store for storing a user account and an electronic farming record for the farming business, a second data store for storing descriptive information about a farming operation land segment associated with the farming business, and a third data store for storing an implement profile defining, for a known farming implement, a known manufacturer code, a known device class, a known version and a known communication protocol.
  • the farming data exchange system further comprises a network interface configured to receive message data, position data and time data acquired by a remote relay device connected to a farming vehicle or farming implement while the farming vehicle or farming implement are used to perform a farming operation at the farming business.

  • the application will then use the extracted content, the position data, the time data and the known communication protocol defined by the implement profile for the known farming implement to determine a set of operating events and a travel path for the farming operation.
  • the application program will then use the set of operating events, the travel path and the descriptive information stored in the database to determine that the farming operation occurred on the farming operation land segment, and to record the farming operation and the descriptive information for the farming operation land segment in the electronic farm record.

  • ISO 11783 defines a virtual terminal (VT) as a means of providing a graphical display and input functions for an operator to interact with an implement or group of implements.
  • An ISOBUS compliant implement defines what will be displayed, how the display will look, and how the operator may interact by providing an object pool to the terminal.

ECUs attached to the ISOBUS are detected and identified from the information presented in the ISO 11783 NAME field of the ECU's address claim message and the version field of the Get Version messages exchanged between the virtual terminal and the ECU for the farming implement. The data in the ECU NAME field is used to identify the ECU as belonging to a particular implement manufactured by a particular manufacturer.

Accordingly, the system can now use the implement profile (specifically, the mapping of object numbers to operating parameters) to extract operating parameter values from every subsequent message transmitted by the current implement.
