Post Combining Shots!!

- After the seed was combined, the lower 3.5 - 4 feet of the stalk remained standing. This was lated mowed and left to ret on the field. The cut stalk was turned several times to ensure even retting. After two weeks the retted stalk was baled and stored.
- The toughness of the stalk is apparent by the way the stalk has split and in some cases frayed (see below) when being cut by the combine.

- A small portion of the plants were very immature, even after close to four months of growth. These shorter plants in some cases were below the cutting bar of the combine and were left standing in the field.
