Harvesting snaplage successfully

摘要

Custom operators harvesting snaplage for clients should "err on the wet side rather than on the dry," says Bill Mahanna, nutritional sciences manager at Pioneer. "We want to start harvesting right when the kernels are physiologically mature, when theyhit black layer. With most hybrids that will mean kernel moistures at about 34-36%," he says. Optimal harvest moisture for the entire ear should be 36-42%.
