Abstract:
Some illustrative embodiments of a system for estimating forage growth at an area of interest may include a mobile support, a laser sensor, and an ultrasonic sensor. The laser sensor and the ultrasonic sensor may each be supported by the mobile support, and may each be configured to sense the forage growth at the area of interest. The laser sensor may generate laser forage data corresponding to the forage growth, and the ultrasonic sensor may generate ultrasonic forage data corresponding to the forage growth. A measured forage growth value may be determined as a function of the laser forage data and the ultrasonic forage data.
