Harvesting wheat at the correct time is critical for high grain and high-quality grain. The ideal moisture level for harvesting wheat is 13-15% in order not to have any spoilage. Wheat is mature when moisture in grain is below 30%, and it must have at least 58 lbs per bushel for high quality. As moisture level reaches 15%, yield loss increases 1% for each additional point due to shrinking and drying expenses. Cropler's NDVI and RGB monitoring monitor moisture levels, ensuring farmers act at the correct time. Wheat is mature for harvesting when 85-90% of the field turns yellow, and stems yellow, generally 35-45 days post flowering. The weather plays a critical role, too. Harving early, when 0.5 inches of rain puts an end to germination, can drop falling number values below 300 seconds, impacting milling quality. One rain can boost DON (deoxynivalenol) 25%, and grain will become inedible. Delaying drying of wheat can cause shattering, and over 5% loss can occur. Delaying 10 days post-optimum harvesting can drop test weight 2-4%. Diseases impact timing, too. Fusarium head blight forms best when humidity is over 90% for 24-48 hours during grain development. With over 10% of Fusarium, fields can lose 25% of value in the marketplace. AI-powered field scoring identifies early symptoms of issue, and yield loss can fall to 30%. Preparation matters. Well-maintained combines reduce grain loss by 1-3%. Harvesting in dry conditions (below 60% relative humidity) minimizes kernel damage. Storage at 60degF with 12% moisture preserves grain for over six months. If moisture exceeds 14%, spoilage risk increases significantly, requiring aeration.
