Harvest Technology for Grain Crops

Author: Timothy Stombaugh

Planning Unit: Biosystems & Agr Engineering

Major Program: Grain Crops

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Harvesting is a critical part of grain production. Timely and efficient harvest can greatly increase the amount and quality of grain harvest from the field. There are many new technology advances in modern grain combines, but operators still need to have a fundamental understanding of the harvesting process to optimally utilize modern machinery. A workshop was developed and offered to farmers to help them gain a deeper understanding of combine functionality and adjustments. The farmers that participated could easily increase the amount of grain recovered by 1% of the total grain yield.
