The combine concave undeniably serves as a crucial part of the harvesting process. These have been designed initially for harvesting wheat. However, with time, it also started to harvest other crops, such as corn, oats, rice, and many others. After several upgrades & improvements, this technology has become much more sophisticated than ever. And the machine has been transformed into the core of the harvesting machinery. John Deere, while celebrating more than 7+ decades of its expertise in producing self-propelled combines in 2022, the company has launched several upgrades in the S series.

Corn is a unique grain that needs warm temperatures, consistent moisture content, and adequate fertility levels to reach the optimal yield. There are several maturity stages that the corn crop undergoes, and it is been linked to the warm temperature. The seeds of this crop need a soil temperature of around 50 degrees Fahrenheit before germination. The cool weather during the initiation of the plantation season is delaying the emergency. This reduces the crop yield from the start of the growing season. Also, the timing & manner in which the corn is being harvested is a critical crop management decision for all the growers. Early harvesting reduces field losses, improves the drying cost, and may reduce grain quality and storability. After the grain reaches a certain maturity stage, this crop is harvested with the help of the corn harvester.
