2024-10-29 | KBS | G2 | Harvest | {"John Deere 7350 Self-propelled forage harvester/chopper","GNUSE Forage Wagon"} | Harvest GLBRC main site treatment G2 (sorghum) and G6 (miscanthus) main plots. Equipment Used: All plots were harvested with the JD 7350 self-propelled forage harvester equipped with a JD 676 cutting head. Plant material was chopped into a Gnuse forage wagon that is fitted with load cells to determine weight of harvested biomass. Cutting height of remaining plant stubble was 4-6 inches in all reps. Grab samples from each rep was placed in paper bags weighed for wet weight and placed in plant dryer and reweighed to determine percent moisture for each replication. | 6434 |

2024-10-28 | KBS | G10 | Harvest | {" Kemper harvester / tractor / weigh container"} | Harvested GLBRC BCSE G4, G5, G6, G7, G9, and G10 micro-plots (fertilized and non-fertilized plots). Harvested with JD 6140 tractor using the 7.5 ft wide Kemper head and custom biomass weighing system. The middle 7.5' of each micro-plot were harvested. Plot weights were obtained from the on-board Rice lake scale. Cutting height of plant stubble was 4-6 inches. Grab samples from each rep was placed in burlap bags, weighed for wet weight and placed in plant dryer and will be reweighed to determine percent moisture for each treatment and replication. | 6442 |
2024-10-28 | KBS | G2 | Harvest | {" Kemper harvester / tractor / weigh container"} | Harvested GLBRC BCSE G2 micro-plots (fertilized and non-fertilized plots). Harvested with JD 6140 tractor using the 7.5 ft wide Kemper head and custom biomass weighing system. The middle 7.5' of each micro-plot were harvested. Plot weights were obtained from the on-board Mettler Toledo scale. Cutting height of plant stubble was 4-6 inches. Grab samples from each rep was placed in burlap bags, weighed for wet weight and placed in plant dryer and will be reweighed to determine percent moisture for each treatment and replication. | 6443 |
