Soybean growers can reduce harvest losses due to lodging by carefully adjusting and operating their combines, says Michigan State University Extension.
It’s possible to reduce field losses from the combine to just 1 bushel per acre or less if the crop is standing reasonably well, says Iowa State University Extension.
Farmers can readily see the negative impact of adverse weather, plant disease and pests on their yields. As its name implies, “invisible loss” can’t be observed but can be prevented by harvesting early and drying their grain
While harvest efficiency will never be 100% and it's critical to get harvest completed, paying attention to details during harvest could increase profitability, says Kansas State University Extension.
Researchers consistently found that Fusarium virguliforme on corn kernels at average harvest loss resulted in the most sudden death syndrome, says a University of Nebraska Extension Educator.
The new corn head features integrated "ear shocks" under deck plates that work to reduce ear "butt shelling," a significant source of yield loss at harvest.
