Comment:
Harvested biomass in G4, G5, G7, G9, and G10 plots, all reps. Harvested the main-plot area. Wet grab samples were collected and placed in the Grieve plant drier to determine percent moisture in the biomass. 2023 was the first year that all the biomass was mowed with the JD discbine and chopped with the JD self-propelled chopper equipped with a 'hay (biomass) pick-up head'. In past years the biomass was 'direct' cut with the JD selp-propelled chopper equipped with 'kemper' direct harvesting head. See notes relating to the harvesting equipment heads under the JD 7350 sel-propelled harvester 'chopper'. The 7350 self-propelled forage harvester/chopper is equipped with a JD 676 Rotary Rowless Header, (Kemper Harvesting Head), 15 ft (4.57 meter) wide, or a JD 630B Windrow Pickup Head with Finger Auger, 3.0 Meter (9.8 ft) Wide.
