Combine Clinics held at New Holland Rochester, Rodkey New Holland and New Holland Tri-County the week of Aug. 17th provided over 100 New Holland combine owners who attended information to make the 2015 harvest more profitable. Attendees included folks from New Holland Centerville, New Holland Logansport and New Holland Greentown.
The difficult conditions that the record-setting rains have cause in 2015 were addressed and owners were told what to do about varying moistures, yields and grain conditions. Grain quality matters were stressed. While the twin-rotor combines from New Holland have earned a reputation for providing better quality grain – and we expect that to be amplified this year – proper combine settings are still required to get the best performance owners were told.
A Purdue study on the value of higher grain quality was used to show attendees how a mere 15% improvement in grain quality is worth about $26.00 per acre in 200 bu/acre corn at $3.50/bushel. Attendees were shown how to do an iodine test to check grain quality. “Getting the best from the best” was the theme of the clinics that were provided courtesy of the New Holland Rochester group of dealership.
We appreciate the great turnout at all 3 events, and were glad to hear the positive feedback from attendees on how the information provided at the clinic will be helpful for them during the upcoming harvest.
