Page 29: Loss Calculation
Loss Calculation “Quick check” for combine grain loss Spreading discharge Grain loss calculated per square foot across the entire field. To perform a quick estimate for total grain loss from the combine, count the number of seeds found in a square foot behind the combine. Determine the quantity of loss in at least three places throughout the field to arrive at an average. -
