Abstract
The present invention is a method of measuring and reporting a product application rate for a mobile product applicator. Machine parameter data, such as the speed of the applicator and a measurement of an amount of crop product applied by the mobile product applicator, is collected. Based on the collected machine parameter data, an application rate is determined. The application rate is displayed on a visual display device, such as a computer screen, on-the-go in near real time.
