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.

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.
