Part 2/5:
Implementing Harvest Sweep Technology
The focus of the day's work is on the Harvest Sweep system, which has been in use for many years. Despite its advantages, the farm has often missed the opportunity to conduct real-time square count assessments during harvest. This time, the operation is set to analyze both the Harvest Sweep side and the standard stock deck plates by marking off sections of four rows to provide a clear comparison.
Equipped with a 12x12 square, the technicians begin their detailed evaluations right behind the header of the combine, ensuring that the combine itself does not influence the counts of corn kernels collected. By harvesting real-time data, the team aims to understand better how much corn is lost during the harvesting process.
