Combining forage maize



Roy Prouse Contractors combining Ixxes forage maize at Launceston, at about 53% MC and 3.5t/ac on the combine, far from ideal, but the field needed clearing for the following winter wheat crop that was being drilled right behind.







What happens when you combine maize when it isn't ready, blocked seives! Because of the variability in ripening, some grain was fit, other still milky resulting in this lovely porridge mix at the back end of the machine. Cleaning this will be a nightmare!
