Department of Agriculture and Fisheries applied to purchase a set of 4 drive-on load cells that would enable the department to weigh the departments existing 2 row basket picker, commercial picking equipment (basket pickers and boll buggies) and round plastic wrapped modules. These load cells would allow the assessment of trial plot yields from small to large scale experiments and cater for any style of picking both with small in-house or commercial scale farm equipment. Portable load cells have the advantage of being easily transported to any trial site and allow the quick and efficient weighing of seed cotton on farm without causing significant disruption to a growers picking operation. This would enable research staff to measure the yield of individual field plots for all manner of experiments with a high degree of accuracy.
