Peas straight cut vs swath.

[blackpowder]

My limited experience tells me I would hate to run my D60 on the ground in a mud bog.
Never thought of swathing em with a roller.
My hired man from Europe had never seena swather. But I think as long as we are trying to harvest just before winter we will need them around. Fall seeding everything?

Hmmm klause you have yellow peas. Sometimes I wonder about you. You just straight cut 2 quarters of yellow peas in I dont know how many days it took. So why worry about yellows bleaching they dont where did you get that from? The locals here have greens. They bleach. And one other thing to tell everyone before is you are and did straight cut one quarter south of carmel no nothing to dry it down. Now tell everyone that that field was taken off as soon as possible. I dont care what you say your going around sloughs completely drown out and I seen a sample that had not much green in it obviously picked out. Yellows need straight cutting. Where the hell did you learn that yellows should be swathed. I dont know of any yellow fields swathed around here.

And another thing your getting 30 dollars per acre back on the viper that did not work. Then the heatdid not work on killing the wild oats and wheat for the pre harvest. All good in theory. Practical doing another story. Swathing may have helped in your this year case. Straight cutting a field where the viper did not work and then the heat pre burn did not work is and was a challenge. Klause people around here were not born yesterday. I am done.

Hopper,

Just like Klause... we finished and delivered all our 2 quarters of yellow peas. Bleaching is not part of the grading recorded on any of our delivery graded grain receipts. Our Viper herb wasn't perfect on some of the wild oats... but otherwise did a wonderful job. The yield was outstanding... all straight cut.
