my combines Do Not leave 2-3% in the field and Never have, if I left that much in my fields they would look like I planted them again in the spring, now a custom cutter my Dad used Always left at least that much in the field and also cracked Wheat so bad he had a lot of dockage,, that custom cutter wanted acres and never gave a darn about Dads losses,, the year I took over running the farm the custom cutter was in a real hurry, he sped up the cylinder when I left the field due to a issue I had at home for the afternoon he finished,, there was grain Every where, he ran over it he cracked it and threw it on the ground,, cost me one dollar a bushel in dockage,, you have to keep in mind wheat here that year brought $ 1 .92 a bushel I had 32,000 bushels that year so you can do the math what it cost me plus paying the cutter over 8000.00 to do the job,, that was the last time he ever was on the farm, I bought a couple more Case combines that fall and have cut my own since,, dockage has never exceeded 1% with my machines since,, I understand the machines of today sacrifice quality and some grain savings for quantity,, jut the way it is, I also hold the cleanest and lest dockage sample here at the elevator, I have since 1999, I understand you guys in the Corn belt need huge capacity and need the big units of today, glad I do not have to for my small grains and grass and alfalfa seed I do custom here, and by the way if I had let 2-3% go on the ground my Dad would have kicked my butt but good, he taught me if you get it in the header you keep it in the bin as well, a bushel a acre on 2000 acres of Wheat like I used to grow was a unacceptable loss to me and still is to me cnt
