Put me down as dubious at best. Destroying 95% of the weed seed coming out of a huge modern combine is a tall order. I think the Aussie previously had some chaff catchers that they used to catch the chaff and then burn or destroy the piles after combining. Redekop, the straw chopper outfit in Canada, used to make a rig for catching the chaff off of the shoe and then blowing it into a towed cart behind the combine.

As a kid I can remember my dad catching weed seed out of the Scour Kleen attachment on an old 6' pt combine when cutting soybeans, but the weeds did not go away. Reminds me of "shoveling water."
