Seems like almost every year I see a few really green fields after corn and soybean harvest but this year seems worse. We had about 3.5 inches of rain a couple weeks ago after our month+ of hot and dry so the soil is still damp enough to support germination. The last couple of days when I have been out and about I have passed several fields that have a nice green carpet of either corn or soybean plants. I can't imagine that much grain passing through a combine if the operator is checking behind it. Some of the fields I know have had green machines harvesting. A couple others I know had red combines. Don't know of much else around here. Anyone else see something like this? Are the newer rotary type machines worse about this?

I see the same in our areas. Some soybeans may be existing the back of combines? But with current drought conditions, it’s likely variety seed shattering &/or header losses?? Lower set pods can get cut by the sickle. Also no matter how gentle the cutter bar & reel, seed is being dropped from dry/cracked/loose pods.

Crop condition, growing conditions, plane old luck some days. As much else as is different out here on the left coast this cannot be that different.
Having only cut barley, oats, wheat, and safflower, but again different but not that much. How much of a of a not properly filled seed do you want. Barley here was a real pain at times. If the bushel weight was to low, it was docked, and beyond a point it was rejected. In many cases it was harvest it just because it looked better on rented land. A new variety of barley showed up, yielded fabulously. Bushel weight was always questionable. The first field of it we tried double the normal yield, looked good in the hopper. Filled a truck load, then looked on the ground, gosh there was lot on the ground. Maybe under irrigation it would of been alright. Buyers where not wanting light bushel weight, so the end of that variety here. So as I started how much do you want the unfilled seeds in the bin? But yes adjustment dose matter.
