Part 3/5:
As they move through the field, they meticulously count kernels in designated areas, both on the Harvest Sweep side and the adjacent conventional side. Initial results indicate that the Harvest Sweep system results in remarkably lower loss rates. For example, on one test, the Harvest Sweep side recorded only four kernels, suggesting a loss rate of two bushels per acre, while the stock deck plates averaged 10 to 14 kernels, equating to a loss of between five to seven bushels.
Following several checks, it's evident that the Harvest Sweep is significantly outperforming the traditional harvesting method, boasting about a 92% reduction in losses under the conditions reported. For the farmer, these findings translate to enhanced profitability and resource preservation.
