Sell More Corn
80-85% Reduced Shatter Loss. By reducing shatter loss 80-85%, Operation Harvest Sweep puts more corn in your hopper so you leave less money on the ground.
Lower Chemical Costs
Higher shatter loss means more volunteer corn appearing in your corn/soybean rotations. That volunteer corn requires expensive chemicals to manage. In fact, it may require one or two applications per year, at $7-9 per acre, to kill it. By using Operation Harvest Sweep, you can reduce your shatter loss, resulting in less volunteer corn and lower chemical costs.
Higher Yielding Crop Rotations
Volunteer corn takes precious water and nutrients away from your soybeans, and it can actually reduce soybean yield by one or two bushels per acre. With Operation Harvest Sweep, you can significantly lower shatter loss, helping to keep volunteer corn at bay.
