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 and 2024 were the first two years 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.
Biomass was chopped in to the GNUSE 12 ton forage wagon. The GNUSE wagon is equipped with load cells so that it can weigh biomass in the field directly on the wagon.
