Part 4/8:
As the harvest progressed into the second day, the team experienced a mix of efficiency and frustration. While transporting corn to the co-op was relatively smooth, challenges arose when transitioning from Gary’s drier corn to the new farm's more stubborn and challenging crops. The worn-out components of the combine raised concerns as they began to struggle with tougher stocks.
It wasn't long before the team realized that they needed to adjust their methods. Increasing the header speed helped eliminate some plugging issues, but it also introduced header loss. The unexpected variability in yield also added an interesting twist as they measured performance across different areas of the field.
