What part of Nebraska are you in? Eastern is a lot wetter than western in that state. We combined weedy organic wheat in dry Colorado and the owner didn't seem concerned about the green weed sileage in the tank and it was going into bins without air at 100+ degrees.
If it's swathed and allowed to dry the weedy matter mostly blows out the back but the wheat will be so dry you will have to be careful not to over-thresh and overload the chaffer with ground up straw.
It also depends on where he markets the grain. If it's going straight to the dealer he might not want all that green stuff in the wheat. If he stores it at home and doesn't have air on the bin it might heat. Then you'll have to swath it. But then again, if the weeds aren't too bad and the wheat is real dry, like 9 or 10% the moisture from the green stuff won't bother. It's kind of a call you'll have to make at harvest.
What size head do you have on the 9400? I wouldn't go into weedy wheat with anything bigger than 15' on a combine that size. Unslugging a combine when it's 100 degrees is not fun at all. Jim
