Comment:
Harvested soybeans on the LTER Main Site on October 20, 2021, treatment T4, all replications. T4R2 was harvested on October 19, 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 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.
