    Beautiful I'd love to visit when they harvest. But It would take to long from Pensacola Florida on my 1972 John Deere 4230 . It would make it I'm not sure I would.

    I swath every single acre of crop I have with a 25' swather. Grow wheat, canola, barley, flax, oats, and fallow a little too with a cultivation and spray it a few times after. Also have a 25' pull type swather for a spare/backup. Can honestly say I never swathed anything at a 45 degree angle. I always go the same way I seeded it which is usually north and south. That angle swathing seems like a lot more turning than needed when your swaths get shorter. Bad enough for me with the sloughs I have, I couldn't imagine my combine turning around that much more going empty.

      Ludwig van Beethoven, it all depends on the particular farm. With a few headlands he may be able to make it back and forth before he needs to unload. Might not have a wagon to carry his crop to the truck. There are a lot of one person operations out there.

      I am a macdon fan. Their Draper headers are the leader in the canola market in my opinion. Buy as big as you can afford and adjust your combine speed to the size of swath. If your crop is thin, buy big. If your crop is heavy I personally would be concerned if my combine was old. No reason to buy a 40’ header if your combine is from the 1980s.
      My factor on buying whatever brand you pick would be parts availability. You could have the best header built but if it has no infrastructure to back it then it will eventually be worthless.

    Risky to not roll a canola swath

      We don't get the high gusts of winds or super wide open 1500 ac fields so actually almost no one out here bothers rolling

      the seed is the desired product the crop is grown for. It is swathed to let the plant dry off and get a consistent drying off of the seeds. Within a plant the seeds do not developed entirely at the same time, hence the attempt to control that. Another way it is achieved by killing off chemically using spray. With that method, a combine harvests it some weeks later. After swathing, same thing some 6 weeks later, but a draper head must be used to pick up the swath. By this time the crop is crispy and extremely brittle and much yield is lost at the front. Once through the combine, especially modern ones, there is little left to bale and aside from that has no more feeding value than a piece of string, so why would you want to bale it.
