1-2 speakers
Full day (4-5 hours not including lunch break)

- Talk about all aspects of header set up, maintenance, how to better feed a combine, and watch outs.
Issue resolution:
- Angle of the header
- Change the speed
- Change height settings so it separates instead of bunching
- Fall in the optimal direction
- Shatter-loss prevention by changing the angles of the cutter

“Many people are amazed to learn from us that the combine is not a set it and forget it piece of equipment during harvest – that there are a number of tips to consider and important metrics that can be set up – and even before harvest starts,” said Marcel Kringe, Bushel Plus founder and CEO. “Simply driving your combine slowly is a waste of time. The combine is one of the most fascinating, important and complex machines on the farm.. The season and even subtle straw conditions can influence performance, which in turn can affect yields. We are bringing Bushel Plus Harvest Academy to North America so farmers and Ag Professionals can learn more details about different settings that can be calibrated so they can achieve optimal combine efficiency.”
