Abstract

A modification of an 8-ft, self-propelled combine for harvesting research plots of soybeans (Glycine max L.), sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], and small grains is described. The combine facilitates efficient and precise harvesting of yield plots with considerable savings in time and labor.
