Yeah usually just used for seed.... seed has to be MUCH cleaner so it doesn't plug up or otherwise impede the meters on the drill or planter so it can plant accurately. Technically you can re-screen the screenings and shake the remaining grain out, and then dispose of the screenings as trash/debris... helps to have livestock to feed it to though because you NEVER get 100% of the grain out of the screenings, but you CAN get awfully close, so much so it doesn't really matter!

Make it happening!!!!!

That and just driving a little slower to give the combine more time to clean... lot more stuff going down to the cleaning shoe takes time to clean it... but your advice on the settings is spot on... OL J R :)

@@lukestrawwalker Luke your right on the keeping the speed down that really helps especially when all that trash is going threw!

Yes we can all hope for them

I asked too, She said it was to keep the boys away. I told her she is in a MAN's World Now.

@@RKHarm24 I don't think she has anything to worry about.

@@anderleof where do you hail from?

And the fanning mill did a much better job I'm sure... partially because of the "fanning" part (cleaning fan) which this rig didn't have. This is basically just a powered sifting screen. Later! OL J R : )

Supposedly it's to scare the boys away while she is out on her own.

@@Blazer02LS Hmmm... Dad always told me, "All is fair in love and war" and so long as it ain't a WEDDING BAND, they're "still on the market" LOL:) Later! OL J R :)

@@Blazer02LS Don't think she has anything to worry about.

Yeah, that's called a "fanning mill" because it fans the grain to blow out the dust and fines... OL J R :)

Yeah, that's what I thought too.. or a flatter angle so it moves back more slowly... Later! OL J R :)

Doubt they'd care... they eat around stuff all the time. I read a study they did one time feeding cattle a low-phosphorus diet... the pasture the cattle were on was extremely depleted in soil phosphorus, and so they could feed them phosphorus deficient feeds in which the phosphorus content was carefully measured and monitored, to see what would happen physiologically to the cattle and their health and body processes... Well, partway into the study, they started finding badly mauled and partially eaten rabbits and rats and other vermin/wildlife in the pasture, and were confused by this, thinking it was a problem with some sort of local predators, but it didn't match predation patterns... Turns out on closer observation that the cattle were actually chasing down and stomping wild rabbits and stuff to death, and then eating them as best they could (with their limited herbivorous teeth ill-suited for carnivory) in order to get the phosphorus the couldn't get from the available grass and the phosphate deficient diet they were being fed in the study... The cattle's bodies were short on phosphorus and they were "craving" phosphorus they could get in no other way so they turned carnivorous... which was TOTALLY unexpected by the researchers! Later! OL J R :)

luke strawwalker Thanks for the lecture professor but. I’m pretty sure it’s a joke

@@jedimasterjoe5386 yeah well even a joke is an opportunity to learn the the wise... OL J R

Not particularly for corn... mainly for crops that are docked MUCH harder for foreign matter content, like small grains such as wheat, barley, oats, rye, and oilseeds like canola... Later! OL J R :)

You could, but for the amount of corn you lost vs debris, it increases the quality of the corn tremendously. Even a 1 to 1 ratio of corn and debris will increase the quality of the grain without adding up to much loss.

He’s feeling much better!

@@HowFarmsWork that good to hear :)

@@HowFarmsWork I’ve seen rocket a million times, but what breed is he? Glad to hear he’s doing well

@@diarmuid858 yeh i want to know aswell

@@diarmuid858 looks like irish setter to me.

Without air it doesn't... Takes moving air blowing through the grain to "fan" it and clean it out... Later! OL J R :)

You can't be serious.

Theoretically yes BUT the combine technically doesn't use a screen, it uses an airfoil chaffer, which is basically meant to separate out the grain from the bits of stalk, leaves, chaff, cobs, pods, heads, etc ("material other than grain" or "MOG" as it's called in engineering parlance), so the shape of the chaffer and sieve airfoils are basically overlapping shutters, like a venetian blind over a window-- when you pull the cord the blinds open up wide so you can see through them, and when you pull the cord the other way they close down to overlapping, to block excess light from entering the room and block the view from outside. Standard combine chaffers and sieves operate EXACTLY the same way-- thus the opening between the individual foils is a long slit; the main difference is the top edge of the foils has a "sawtooth" pattern of fingers cut into the edge when they're stamped out of steel sheet at the factory, to create fingers to stir, sift, and agitate the material as it shakes over the chaffer and sieve in the combine, so the heavier grain can fall out. Plus, basically if the stuff that's made it to the grain tank has already gone through the chaffer and sieve ONCE, it is pretty likely that it will AGAIN and thus end up right back in the "clean" grain as it did the first time. Plus, to feed the material through the combine cleaning shoe a second time, basically you'd have to run the ENTIRE combine, and auger the threshed grain into the header, which would feed it into the feederhouse and through the threshing cylinder and concave AGAIN, which would inevitably crack and break some of the grain (rethreshing is the main source of cracked grain in the sample, usually from excessive tailings being returned to the threshing cylinder, which is why a lot of the new combines all use "rethreshers" instead of returning the grain to the main threshing cylinder or rotor where it's more likely to be cracked. IOW, it would cause as many problems as it solved and wouldn't do a very good job anyway. Later! OL J R :)

@@lukestrawwalker Holy smokes! "Shut up, that's stupid talk" would've worked with me.

@@stevenhorne5089 LOL:) Well maybe someone else is interested in the "why" or "why not" of it LOL:) Have a good one! OL J R: ) PS... I hate the response people give today when you ask something and they're too lazy or to ignorant to respond and go "because, REASONS!" LOL:)

@@lukestrawwalker Thank You very much my friend. Have a safe holiday season.

asked to soon

Downed corn. Stalks rip out of the ground and go through resulting in more debris

Dabree.......haha! Words are hard.

Trash holds moisture and can make the corn hard to store, causing more spoilage, and can create problems later from the moisture causing moldy clumps to form which don't want to flow down into augers and traps making a lot of work/problems later on... Plus they were willing to bring him the thing to use free of charge for some YT exposure, so why not?? Not like he was doing a million bushels LOL:) OL J R :)

@@lukestrawwalker I trash holds Moisture, I was raised on a farm and Milked cows , We did all the things that Ryan's family does and we never had an issue with Trash in our corn grain, Had very little mold in our corn And yes Ryan's Dad had an expense, That is Electric that he paid for even though the Cleaner was free, And as the saying goes, Nothing is ever free in this world and going to get a lot more expensive. So I appreciate your humor, But it was not needed. Thanks

@@richdillon2157 Oh I agree... I was just giving SOME reason why they might do this... basically they had a company offer them a free demo of this screening unit and so they took them up on it. Free advertising for the company's products and another video for Ryan... more vids= more money, so a couple wasted hours... good ROI. As for the practical use of this thing-- well, maybe if you're producing a small grain crop that is heavily discounted for foreign matter it might pay, say for South Sask Farmer, but otherwise-- not so much... Later! OL J R :)
