Harvesting

If you just bought a late-model combine, give it a thorough cleaning. Used combines can carry herbicide-resistant weed seed.

It’s harvest season and there’s a lot of farm equipment on the road. Road safety is the responsibility of both the motorist and the farmer.

The purchase of a combine is not a transaction to be made lightly. Should you buy new? Used? Lease it? How are combine values holding up? Successful Farming's Jodi Henke talks with Jeff Gray from Claas about that decision. And on a side note - Gray says it's a REALLY good idea to clean out the machine after harvest is done.
