Description
Presents the results of a 1997 examination of harvest methods to assess their suitability for whole-crop harvesting. The project examined the performance of a relatively new harvest technique known as the stripper header. Five methods of harvesting, including the stripper header, were then examined for their ability to efficiently collect and process grain, chaff and straw. Costs and revenues for each method were determined, and a net harvest product value was determined for each system by subtracting the total operating costs from the value of the commodities produced. In general, it appears that the economics of the system improves as the amount of processing in the field is reduced.
