Comment:
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.
