Harvesting

- Early swathing can reduce yields.

- If flowering well, delay swathing.

- When flowering is complete, swath when 75% of seeds are brown.

- Swath immediately after killing frost.

- Swath while plants are damp, this reduces shattering.

- Combine at less than 16% moisture.

- Cylinder speed 600-800 rpm.
