Combine adjustment yields high returns in wheat harvest
Taking time to tune the combine can cut losses that reach up to 10 bushels per acre under good conditions. Ground checks and 20 kernels per square foot estimate a bushel per acre, with a target of no more than 2 percent machine loss. Key checks include engine speed cylinder fan and chaffer openings. Regular tuning and checks boost efficiency. Grasshoppers appear in gardens. Sevin, diazinon, and malathion help control in noncrop areas and some crops. Potatoes mature fast but beetles threaten yields. apply labeled controls early. Peach trees show borer damage signs as heat continues.
