I got to watch Red and Green working while I eat supper. Didn't take them long to get it done.

I'm surprised wheat is ready in Indiana this early. Would be tempting to double crop soybeans if there's moisture in the ground.
 
No rain, but in the past he double crops and beans will be in tomorrow if not the next day. He used to bail the straw, but last few years he leaves the straw.

Corn goes in next year and as soon as it's out, in goes the wheat. The wheat he's harvesting now was planted last fall.
 
Around here it would be a green combine. I do some custom harvesting​ because the red machine chews up the straw real bad. We plant wheat ever 3 years so we have straw and always double crop beans.
 
I don't understand that chewing up straw thing at all. I've baled 1000s bales of straw behind my axial combines and them bales look the same as from my Massey combine. Back the concaves out of the chopper and slow it way down and it does not chew the straw up.
 
I think rotary combined straw spreads better than conventional. The bales explode when you cut then open, but everyone says they do not absorb as much and the horse people say it dusty. I don't care either way but having older Deere combines makes me some extra money!
 
My haying operation tractors and cutters are red mostly with 2 blues. Rake and rollers are green. They do just fine even with the rake towed by blue and roller towed by red. I shop and buy what I think is best for my pocket and my application. I am color blind and have been all my farming life. Found it pays off! Nobody "earns" my blind, color allegiance.....their choice, not mine.
