2015-09-30 Harvest Harvested soybeans on the LTER Main Site between September 30, and October 2, 2015, treatments T1, T2, and T3; all replications. Please notes below for specific dates for individual harvest dates for each specific plot. Number of soybean rows harvested from both east and west sides were counted and recorded to determine total area harvested. Plot weight was determined by unloading soybeans from the combine to a Brent Weigh Wagon, by Unverferth Co. At harvest each plots were divided into two distinct sides, the west side and the east side. With 15' of the north and south ends 'headland passes of each plot being included in the west side data. The west side of each plot contained a headland pass across the entire width of the plot on the north and south end of each plot and ~ 107-110 rows of soybeans for T1-T3 and 54 rows for T4 located on the west side of each plot. The created headland was one pass across both north and south headland with the JD 9410 combine with a grain head (15 feet wide). The reason that we need to create an artificial headland was because we needed more room to turn the combine around. Grain yield and moisture from treatments 1-4 across all six replications were recorded. However, the standard agronomic yields recorded on the web page were taken only from the east side of the plots. The decision to post the yield from only the east side of the plots stems from the fact that on the west side of the plot contains a micro plot area and headland passes. In northwest corner of treatments 1 and 2 are the micro plots that did not receive any weed control, cultivation or herbicides. Because of the competition from the weed in the micro plots the decision was made to record the official yields from the east side of the plots. The micro plot area measures 50 ft (15 meters) from the north edge of the plots towards to south and 133.3 ft (40 meters) from the west edge of the plots towards the east. The micro plot area in treatments 1 and 2 that did not receive any weed control was mowed down before harvest. Harvest dates for specific plots: T1R1: West and East side Oct. 1, 2015; T1R2: West and East side Sept. 30, 2015; T1R3: West and East side Sept. 30, 2015; T1R4: West and East side Oct. 2, 2015; T1R5: West and East side Oct. 1, 2015; T1R6: West and East side Sept. 30, 2015; T2R1: West and East side Sept. 30, 2015; T2R2: West and East side Oct. 1, 2015; T2R3: West and East side Oct. 1, 2015; T2R4: West and East side Oct. 1, 2015; T2R5: West and East side Oct. 1, 2015; T2R6: West and East side Sept. 30, 2015; T3R1: West and East side Sept. 30, 2015; T3R2: West and East side Oct. 1, 2015; T3R3: West and East side Oct. 2, 2015; T3R4: West and East side Oct. 1, 2015; T3R5: West and East side Oct. 1, 2015; T3R6: West and East side Sept. 30, 2015; T4: west side all reps were harvested on Oct. 19, 2015; east side all reps were harvested on Oct. 20, 2015

The grain harvested from the 'headland pass' was not recorded as weight of grain removed from each plot. The reason for the 15' headland pass on both end of each plot was so that we would have room to turn the combine around in the alleyway. We record a weight from all the east and west sides of all the plots however all the plot weights were joined and one weight was recorded from each plot. 2016 was the first year that the harvest plot weight was from the entire plot area not just the weight from the east side of each plot. 2017 was the second year (first year for corn) that the weight from each plot was from the entire plot area not just the weight from the east side of each plot. Total number of corn rows were determined prior to harvesting the corn to determine the width of the area harvested. At planting time in spring of 2017 we made 19 passes with a 15' JD 1730 corn planter (30 inch rows). 19 * 6 rows/pass = 114 rows. Corn was harvested with a John Deere 9410 combine. Plot weight was determined by unloading corn from the combine in to a Brent Weigh Wagon, by Unverferth Co., equipped with three load (weigh) cells. The three load cells are located on the axle and tow tongue (hitch) of the wagon. Moisture and test weights were determined using a portable Dicky-john GAC500 XT grain analysis moisture tester. Corn variety harvested was (Dekalb DKC52-84 RIB) corn hybrid in T1, T2, and T3 plots. Corn variety harvested was ? in T4 plots. Estimated harvest time was from 8:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. (this estimate is just harvest time it does not include equipment set up and equipment clean up time).
2017-10-20 Harvest Harvested corn in the GLBRC G1, G2, and G4 plots, all reps on October 20, 2017. Entire plot weight was determined by unloading corn from the combine to a Brent Weigh Wagon, by Unverferth Co. Number of corn rows harvested from each plot were counted and recorded to determine total area harvested. Each plot had 24 rows of corn harvested has the main plot harvest data. Six rows on each side of each plot were harvested with the Kincaid plot combine and was not included in the total plot weight. Moisture and test weights were determined using a portable Dicky-john GAC500 XT grain analysis moisture tester. Corn harvested was G1 (Dekalb DKC52-84 RIB) corn hybrid and G2 and G4 (Pioneer P9188AMX) corn hybrid. Estimated harvest time was from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. (this estimate is just harvest time it does not include equipment set up and equipment clean up time).

2018-10-09 Harvest Harvested soybeans on the LTER Main Site between October 9, and October 10, 2018, treatments T1, T2, and T3; all replications. Please notes below for specific dates for individual harvest dates for each specific plot. Number of soybean rows harvested from each plot were counted and recorded to determine total area harvested. Plot weight was determined by unloading soybeans from the combine to a Brent Weigh Wagon, by Unverferth Co. At harvest each plot was harvested as one plot area (was not harvested with the west side and the east side). Before harvesting the plot area we harvested a 15' 'headland pass' on the north and south end of each plot. The 'headland pass' area was not included in the harvested data area. The west side of each plot contained a headland pass across the entire width of the plot on the north and south end of each plot and ~ 107-110 rows of soybeans for T1-T3 and 54 rows for T4 located on the west side of each plot. The created headland was one pass across both north and south headland with the JD 9410 combine with a grain head (15 feet wide). The reason that we need to create an artificial headland was because we needed more room to turn the combine around. Grain yield and moisture from treatments 1-4 across all six replications were recorded. The micro plot area measures 50 ft (15 meters) from the north edge of the plots towards to south and 133.3 ft (40 meters) from the west edge of the plots towards the east. The micro plot area in treatments 1 and 2 that did not receive any weed control was mowed down before harvest. Harvest dates for specific plots: October 9, 2018: T1R1, T1R2, T1R3, T1R4; T2R1, T2R2, T2R3, T2R4, T2R5, and T2R6; T3R1, T3R2, T3R3, T3R4. October 10, 2018: T1R5 and 7 passes on the west side of T3R5. October 16, 2018: The remaining east side of T3R5, T3R6, and T1R6. T4: October ?, 2018.
2018-11-20 Harvest Harvested corn in the LTER Biodiversity Study treatments B3: (111, 203, 306, 403), B6: (107, 207, 317, 406), B9: (119, 205, 314, 409), B12: (109, 202, 313, 412), B15: (112, 213, 301, 415), B18: (108, 208, 311, 418). Harvested rows 9 and 10 from the east side of each plot (each plot was 12 rows wide and we harvest the middle of the 'east half' of each plot). Plot weight and moisture content were obtained from the on-board Mirus software by Harvest Master. Harvested with Kincaid 8XP Plot Combine.
2020-10-29 Harvest Harvested the LTER T1, T2, T3, and T4 plots.
2020-11-13 Harvest Harvested corn in the Lysimeter field. Cleaned up (harvested) the remaining rows of corn in the N-rate Study and CE Study.
2021-09-30 Harvest Harvested soybeans on the LTER Main Site on September 30, 2021, treatments T1, and T2; all replications. T1R6 was harvested on September 29, 2021. Number of soybean rows harvested from each plot were counted and recorded to determine total area harvested. Plot weight was determined by unloading soybeans from the combine to a Brent Weigh Wagon, by Unverferth Co. At harvest each plot was harvested as one plot area (plots were NOT harvested with the 'west' side and the 'east' side). Before harvesting the plot area we harvested a 15' 'headland pass' on the north and south end of each plot. The 'headland pass' area was NOT included in the harvested data area. The reason that we need to create an 'artificial' headland was because we needed more room to turn the combine around. The current 30 ft grass alleyway is not enough room to turn the combine around. Yes, we harvested a 15' 'headland pass' in the T1 and T2 plots however we harvested a 20' 'headland pass' in the T3 and T4 plots. Grain yield and moisture from treatments across all six replications were recorded. Moisture and test weights were determined using a portable Dicky-john GAC500 XT grain analysis moisture tester. KBS Dairy Staff helped unload soybeans from trucks.
2021-10-19 Harvest Harvested soybeans on the LTER Main Site on October 19, 2021, treatment T3, all replications. Because T3 plots were 'replanted or inter-seeded' in June because of a poor stand due to seed corn maggot eating the soybeans. We did not count number of rows harvested for the width of harvested area. In 2021 in T3 plots we measured the area (in ft) away from the plot corner post to determine the area harvested. Seed corn maggot was eating the soybean seed so we had a poor stand of beans. We inter-seed more soybeans in between the existing rows of soybeans. So counting rows was impractical because of the number of rows planted was hard to see because of the inter-seeded rows from the second planting date. Plot weight was determined by unloading soybeans from the combine to a Brent Weigh Wagon, by Unverferth Co. At harvest each plot was harvested as one plot area (plots were NOT harvested with the west side and the east side). Before harvesting the plot area we harvested a 20' 'headland pass' on the north and south end of each plot. The 'headland pass' area was NOT included in the harvested data area. The reason that we need to create an 'artificial' headland was because we needed more room to turn the combine around. The current 30 ft grass alleyway is not enough room to turn the combine around. Yes, we harvested a 20' 'headland pass' not a 15' headland pass as was the case with T1 and T2 plots in 2021. The new grain head is 20' wide not 15' wide so the 'headland pass' harvested was 20' NOT 15'. Grain yield and moisture from treatments across all six replications were recorded. Moisture and test weights were determined using a portable Dicky-john GAC500 XT grain analysis moisture tester. Kellogg Dairy Staff help move and unload soybeans form trucks and wagons.
2019-07-24 Harvest Harvested LTER Main Site Treatment T1 and T2 Winter Wheat.
2019-07-25 Harvest Harvested LTER Main Site Treatment T3 and T4 Winter Wheat.
2023-11-14 Harvest Harvested corn in the main plot area of G1 plots, reps: 5, 4, 3, 2, & 1.
2023-11-09 Harvest Harvested corn in T1, T2, and T3 plots. T1: harvest notes: All reps of T1 plots were harvested on November 9, 2023. T2: harvest notes: T2R1, T2R2, T2R3, and T2R6 were harvested on November 7, 2023. T2R4 and T2R5 were harvested on November 8, 2023. T3: harvest notes: T3R1 was harvested on November 9, 2023. All other T3 plots, T3R2, T3R3, T3R4, T3R5, and T3R6 were harvested on November 10, 2023. Harvested with the JD S660 combine with a 6 row corn head. Plots were unloaded into the weigh wagon to determine plot weight for each plot.
2023-11-20 Harvest Harvested corn in T4 plots, all reps. Harvested with the JD S660 combine with a 6 row corn head. Plots were unloaded into the weigh wagon to determine plot weight for each plot.
2023-11-30 Harvest Harvested corn in the CE study. CE1 plots (108, 202, 304, 401) and CE3 plots (105, 207, 301, 403). For each plot two rows of corn (5' wide) per pass was harvested for yield using the Kincaid plot combine. Total number of rows harvested in each plot was 4. Weight of plots was determined by using the on-board Mirus system, and moisture was taken with the FSC Dickey John. Remaining of corn in plots was harvested the same day. Equipment Used: Kincaid plot combine and white/green grain truck. Equipment Used: JD S660 combine and white/green grain truck.
