Doing some research on growing Canola to make Biodiesel out of. From what I've read they use a “swather” to cut it. Let it dry, then combine it. What exactly is a swather? I've never heard of one around here. (Central NY). Looks like a haybine but I assume there is no conditioning rollers/ crimpers in it?? Could I just cut it with a sickle bar cutter, let it dry and then combine it?
Also what should I look for in a combine for Canola? Anything special you need? Don’t know much about combines either.
I’m assuming I can grow it. It sounds very similar to the brassica I plant for deer food plots and that does real well. I just never tried harvesting any of it.
