Two Crops In One Trip: Modifications join combine and baler for complete harvest

摘要

Hoping to reduce the amount of crop residue left in the fields after wheat harvest, Washington state farmers Curtis Coombs and Steve Shoun developed a system that also saves them a field pass. By fusing a combine and a baler, the pair was able to channel all the straw, chaff and fines from the combine directly into the baler. The result: A one-pass system that harvests grain and makes bales, leaving very little crop residue behind.
