• Prepare the combine, storage and drying
facilities well before harvest.
• Harvest wheat without delay after maturity
and when moisture content is low
enough to store or to dry quickly.
• Adjust the combine and pay particular
attention to the header to minimize
harvest losses.
• Set threshing characteristics of the
combine to produce the highest quality
wheat.
• Use natural air to finish drying wheat if
necessary. Use heat sparingly to improve
drying performance.
• Cool wheat as the weather permits to
improve storability. Monitor bins periodically
to catch small storage problems
before they become large problems.
