KY | Been around wheat all my life, and raised and cut a whole bunch of it for hay over the years, but we never have threshed it. Many folks do on a limited scale around here, always double-cropped with beans drilled into the stubble. A lot of folks square the straw, but I won't have the time, manpower or desire to fool with that, and would like to just harvest and no till into it with soys. My old 14 series IH has the standard spreaders, and they're not going to throw it 40 feet or so like a vittetoe or similar would, so it will probably be fairly thick. I'm afraid of pinning in the seed trench a little I guess. Do I cut it just below the head, thereby reducing the chaff by a large amount? I could round bale it, as it's only going to be 30 or 40 acres this time, but there's very little market for rolls of straw around here, as only the coal mines have processors that will handle rounds and there's not much reclaiming going on these days. | |
