Harvested LTER Interaction switchgrass plots. Harvested with JD 7330 tractor using the 7.5 ft wide Kemper head and Wintersteiger biomass harvester weighing system. Harvested a 7.5 ft strip 51 ft in from the west on every plot except plot 9 (plot 9 the harvest strip is at 31ft in from the west). Plot weights were obtained from the on-board Mirus computer weighing system, by Juniper Systems. Cutting height of plant stubble was 4 - 6 inches. Grab samples from each rep was placed in paper bags weighed for wet weight and placed in plant dryer and reweighed to determine percent moisture for each treatment and replication.
