Prepare for the wheat harvest by performing
routine maintenance early and then equipping
and adjusting the combine according
to the operator’s manual. Most modern combines
will perform adequately simply by setting them
according to the operator’s manual. Develop a
harvest plan based on the quality of the wheat and
weed control. Harvest high-quality wheat first.
Schedule weedy fields last because yield and quality
are likely to be poorer as well. Harvest the
weediest areas of those fields using a pattern that
minimizes the chances of spreading weed seed to
clean areas of the field.
