  • The Best Wheat Harvest Video on CZcams
    I recently spent a weekend in Colorado filming some 2021 winter wheat harvest for my CZcams channel. Here is one of the farms I filmed at. Poss Farms is a family farm operation near Hugo Colorado. In this video I explain the entire operation.

      @robertlonsdale3826 Před 2 lety +1

      yes , the stripper headers seem to have so many advantages , particularly the fact that there is much less separation required ( much like a corn header) , higher harvesting output, I wonder what the disadvantages are?

    • @SlipShodBob
      @SlipShodBob Před 2 lety

      @@robertlonsdale3826 here a lot that tried them it was the losses, at the time they first came out the residue and either the loss of straw or another pass if you want to bale it plus it meant a second header rather than just running the reel for everything we can be rather tight when it comes to spending money here. I wonder sometimes if that is why little maize is grown here that is combined rather than chopped compared to other crops

    Inside the cab of those combines is impressively quiet. Also impressive is the accuracy of their cuts, given that the first guy into the crop is three header widths away from the last cut edge - obviously the sattelite guidance plays a big part in that.
    They can really race right along since they dont have to process the straw - should imagine they'd have a fair saving on fuel useage for the same reason ?
    I thought their leaving the straw stem intact in the ground was to prevent soil erosion ?

  • @JohnDoe-jq5wy
    @JohnDoe-jq5wy Před 2 lety +1

    Shealborne headers are a very wise investment.... Use the combine for what it is engineered for, thrash grain.
    Leave the straw in the field to protect the soil and replace carbon. More producers are "WISE" to research this header technology.

    • @AceBaracuda
      @AceBaracuda Před 2 lety +1

      It all depends on your area one technology is not the best everywhere. Or for every operation. Some guys seed two crops with the wheat then they cut the straw as low as possible to give the second crop enough sunlight to do its thing. And the straw is baled behind combines for cattle. There is more to it than any one person thinks. So unless you know the whole story I wouldn’t say one thing is any more wise than wasteful in another scenario.
