Using the wheat plant to the fullest!

Take a moment and check out the view!

Lots going on in this photo!

Combines have just cut the wheat, and got the seed from the head of the plant and then the seed goes into the tank of combine! While this is happening all the other parts of the plant are being thrown out into a windrow (if you are planning to bale behind) if not you can cut the wheat and put a chopper on back of combine, where it distributes the remaining parts of the plant all around (no windrows)

The Howton’s have been coming behind combines and baling the windrows(what’s left of the wheat) for straw!

After that,the bales of straw are hauled off and the planter comes back into the field, to plant double crop beans.

I love how mostly all parts of wheat plant are used!
