[QUOTE="tinman, post: 3508274, member: 11821"] ill put my hands up immediately and say that i know little to nothing about combines or growing grain but im friendly with a few lads that do grow it. dannewhouse put a point forward in his post that ive heard the lads talk about. they say the straw helps with the income so altho your machine is a damn good idea is there not a loss there for the farmer. i know you say that the straw lower to the ground will be damper and not what you want in a bale but id guess that if your harvesting to a acceptable moisture percentage then its going to be fairly dry and an extra day to dry it wouldn't be the end of the world to dry it out and you'd benefit from the extra bales. now maybe straw is so low in price in the uk that the fertilizer benefits outweigh the loss or there is that much of it not many want it for all i know but id say someone will put me straight on that. like i say, im working off limited knowledge here.
