How to use the Harvest Loss Calculator

  1. Enter the requested field, crop, animal, equipment, or cost information.
  2. Keep every value in the unit shown beside its field.
  3. Select Calculate and review each result and assumption.
  4. Verify important decisions with local records, labels, extension guidance, or a qualified adviser.

Formula and method

Loss (kg/ha) = sample loss (g) ÷ sample area (m²) × 10. Total field loss = kg/ha × field hectares.

Grams per square metre are converted directly to kilograms per hectare, then extended across the field.

Worked example

An 80 g loss from 10 m² equals 80 kg/ha, or 1,600 kg over 20 hectares.

Understanding the result

Treat the calculated values as a planning estimate. Compare them with your field records, product information, local conditions and operational capacity before acting.

Important: Results depend on the accuracy of your inputs and the assumptions shown. Local soil, weather, crop, animal and market conditions can change the appropriate decision.
