SORTING OUT A CHANGE OF SIDE-KNIVES

摘要

Although oilseed rape has the potential to be one of the most profitable break crops around, it can also produce some serious headaches at harvest. Even those crops which stand tall and proud can be a nightmare to cajole into the combine. And once youare into those laid, tangled patches, the four-letter words can really begin to fly. That's why the invention of the side-knife was such a brilliant idea. These wondrous devices can allow you to sail seamlessly through the most interwoven, awkward crops, but when they break, you can end up shunting backwards and forwards like the roof on Centre Court.
