Abstract
A method for operating a root crop conveying machine is provided, as well as a root crop conveying machine. Sensor data are recorded by at least one optical sensor. The optical sensor is directed to a measurement region of a flow of harvested material conveyed by at least one conveying element in a conveying direction. On the basis of the sensor data, mass data characterizing at least a mass of at least a part of the harvested material are calculated by an evaluation device. Yield data are calculated and provided by the evaluation device at least on the basis of the mass data. The yield data reflect at least the mass and/or a value calculated on the basis of the mass.
