Todd Kimbrel, extreme Ag, A little sesame post harvest wrap up video. Uh, sesame Harvest is over. Been over a little bit.
00:00:08
We've been busy. Uh, super easy harvest. We're a little concerned with combine settings and operations of the field and all that.
00:00:17
Super easy. Uh, didn't even have to use any duct tape to tape anything up on these machines. Uh, we blew right through it.
00:00:24
Harvest speed was fast, six to seven miles an hour. Uh, a little head loss, but with the, with shattering, but it wasn't bad.
00:00:32
Worked, worked just fine. Uh, yield was good between four 50 and 500 pounds. Uh, going in. I thought if we made 500, I would celebrate.
00:00:42
So we were close enough. I thought it was great. I guess the one point that everybody wants to know, we do it again, we'll definitely do it again
00:00:49
and it'll probably become part of our wheat plan. So if we plant wheat, we'll just intend on planting sesame, double crop.
00:00:58
Another little takeaway is yield was good, and I have had a lot of people tell me, man, if you didn't get all that summer rain,
00:01:06
you wouldn't have made as good. Well, I think it's the opposite of that. I think we had too much rain this summer
00:01:11
because the low spots didn't yield as good as the high spots. Typically not the case here where we farm Central Texas,
00:01:18
but that's exactly what happened this year. So maybe a little more normal-ish summer with a couple of timely rains.
00:01:25
I think the yield could be a lot better. Management, super easy. Uh, even, you know, one
00:01:30
of my big concerns going in was wheat control. Super easy. We did a real good burn, ju burn down shot at planning, which we were a little late.
00:01:40
Uh, I think we were around the 20th of June before we got it in. Normally we'd like to be a little bit ahead of that.
00:01:47
Uh, and that did cause us to come off a little later than we'd typically like to. It was, you know, early, mid-December
00:01:53
before we got in there to get it out. So, uh, lots of things to take away. Overall, very pleased, would definitely do it again.
00:02:01
Uh, highly recommend. Just takes a little more open-mindedness to manage it, but great crop, neat crop fun to look at.
