Too dry and it becomes brittle resulting in mechanical damage from machinery/augers etc.

There is a sweet spot 12-15%. Some folks like to take it a lil wet and forced air dry in the bin. This also cools it down overnight/nights

Yep, COOP starts docking use real hard above 13.5% moisture. They have to keep air to it so it doesn’t heat up, and they don’t want to buy water. Plus the higher the moisture the lower the test weight per bushel.

Pawnee you guys must have a pretty big operation running three combines. Glad the weather is cooperating and your getting to cut. I’d say they will be starting here within the next week

pulled in across the road from my house last night - by the time I get home likely soybeans will be planted - they don't mess around, take the wheat off and plant directly behind the combine


wheat down the road has clover under it - combining it Friday and baling the straw off it

What’s better the Draper head or the stripper head? Those stripper heads look fast

I can’t answer that honestly. This is the first year with a flex Draper, and he has the spreaders off making windrows for cattle bedding this coming winter. I think he could run with them if he wasn’t. I’ll know more in a few days

I am curious as well, I have never seen anything except a reel, can u harvest faster with the drapers or does it prevent ground loss, not being nosy just curious as to the benefit. I know practices are different in different areas, and I have never been to Kansas.
