The main aim of this research was to evaluate two possibilities for creating forage yield maps under real field conditions. The measurement method was based on the mowing machine conditioner’s power requirement measured by a torque-meter or on material change in momentum measured by a curved impact plate. A field of 0.54 ha area was harvested during our measurement. The measurement method allowed comparison of data from the torque-meter and impact plate with data from hand measurement by means of geostatistical analysis. The results showed that conditioner power input measurement as well as material change in momentum measurement can be used for grass yield map creation.
