For eight years, the Mullewa community has been putting in 245 ha of crops to fund the town's sporting groups and any other club that would benefit the town.
You are lucky. I imagine your country is highly fertile, and your headers would need to crawl along. Some of these farmers are putting in 20,000ha and can make it work with scale of economy. This season was below average, and most farmers nowadays would budget 1.5 2.00ha.
It looked very dry there and the crops thin. The farmers must be concerned about weeds. What would they be trying to control and I understand how funneling the chaff to the center of the windrows works but could you explain how the seed destructors work. Thanks.
The destructors are like little hammer mills grinding up the weed seeds. Farmers in WA have gone from having a problem with weeds, but with the destructors, the issue is much easier to beat with chemicals. Soaks a lot of HP on the header.
Gread idea. Haven’t seen this before.
It looks a dry dusty area Ben, great pictures as always, well done to everyone taking part in the harvest.
Those harvestors (or combines as we call them in this part of the world....Ireland) are harvesting at enormous speeds!!

In this case Brett it is to raise money for sporting clubs and any other group of people to help make Mullewa a better town to live in.
