Harvest is a good time to assess crop performance as well as crop management because producers have greater access to all areas of the field, and a unique visual perspective of the plants that have survived to maturity and are contributing to yield. While swathing, try to capture additional clues about why there may be underperforming acres and learn from that knowledge to make changes in the future.
