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. Micro-plots were harvested previously. The edge of the plots were the micro-plots were located were removed so that the area harvested was just the main plot area. Biomass was mowed with the JD discbine and chopped with the JD self-propelled chopper equipped with a 'hay (biomass) pick-up head'. The 7350 self-propelled forage harvester/chopper is equipped with 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.
