Harvest is about to kick into high gear for many Prairie farmers as the race begins to get crops off of fields and into bins. But in that flurry of activity of operating equipment, co-ordinating people – and trying to hit that optimal weather window – are you taking time to minimize harvest loss?
“One of the biggest mistakes guys make is they get in a rush at harvest and they just get in their combine and they just do what they did last year,” says Trevor Scherman of ScherGain.
But Scherman says the key to keeping harvest loss at a minimum is to calibrate your combine to the crop conditions in your field.
In this video, Scherman talks about what farmers can do to measure grain loss and why relying on your combine’s factory settings may not offer you the best result for your hard work.
