Although soybeans is one of the leading cash crops in the United Staes, it has only been recently that combines have been designed specifically for the crop. When soybeans wejre introduced to the Midwest in 1927, the combine designed for wheat and oats was used for harvesting -soybeans. Combines were adapted to harvest corn in the 1960's, but very little was done to improve the combine for harvesting soybeans.

With the older combines, 80 percent of the losses occurred at the header. Newer combines are equipped with headers specifically designed for harvesting soybeans. The cut­ ter bar "floats" on the ground, and the platform runs very close to the ground, giving a smoother, level transition between the cutter bar and the platform. In addition, the distance betweien the cutter bar and the platform or auger has been increased. All of -these features have resulted in a signifi­ cant reduction in soybean harvest losses. With the new combines, farmers can harvest soybeans with losses of less than four percent of the yield. In addition, harvesting with a row-crop head for soybeans reduces losses to less than two percent. Of course, the key to low harvest losses is an operator who knows the combine adjustments available and when to make them In preparation for this year's harvest, producers should consult their operator's manuals for the adjustments avai lable and become familiar with them. In ad- is important to check the make sure everything top condition. The engine speed, belts, chains, slip clutches, and cutter bar should be checked in particular. It is best to adjust the combine according to the operator's manual for harvesting soybeans. These adjustments usually in- oecome iarr dition, If is i combine to is in top c elude cylinder speed, concave clearance, sieve settings, air from the fan, and reel speed and posi­ tion. A ground speed of no more than three miles per hour is recom­ mended. To determine ground speed, have someone count the number of three-foot steps he or she takes in 20 seconds while walk­ ing beside the combine. Divide that number by 10 to get the ground speed in miles per hour. For additional information, con­ tact the McHenry County Exten­ sion office at 789 McHenry Ave., P.O. Box 431, Woodstock, 60098.

On level ground, the combines were able to cut soybeans only as low as three to four inches from the ground and one or two pods we usually left on much of the Stub­ ble. The high cutting height in­ creased losses when lodged beans were harvested. Shatter and stalk losses due to the action of the sickle, auger, and reel also con­ tributed to the eight to 10 percent harvest loss. The main problem with harvesting soybeans is getting the Marriage licenses: Applications for marriage licenses were recentlu made at McHenry County Clerk's office by: Jeffrey W. Meyers and Loraine S.
