Reduced Harvest Loss Can Save $6 Per Acre
Farm management specialist Dale Schwarre notes six dollars per acre can be saved by timely harvest and proper combine adjustments. Ohio and extension experts emphasize harvesting at 10 to 13 percent moisture to minimize losses from shattering, reel settings, cutter bar height, and cylinder speed, with adjustments based on field conditions to protect bean yield and profit.
