OREGON GRASS SEED HARVEST in the Willamette Valley
Video I shot near Jefferson Oregon as a local farm is busy harvesting their 2020 grass seed crop. In the Video is several New Holland CX Series combines with pickup header harvesting the windrows of grass. In the field with the Combines is a John Deere 9460R tractor pulling a Crustbuster 1075 grain cart.
After the combines are done harvesting the rake and bale the grass straw. You will see a Versatile 315 tractor pulling a Krone 1290 HDP big square baler and two Case IH tractors also pulling Krone Balers.

So few videos of grass seed production. Thank you for bringing this to the world of youtube :).

@scottpykare801 3 года назад

Never really thought of where grass seed came from. Now I know. Thanks Mike for the footage including your drone. Spot on as always. Looking forward to more videos from ya!!👍👍

@markmortensen4341 3 года назад

Glad you got to come out to Oregon‼️ Just so know it's pronounced Will-am-met valley. It was named but the Indians here. I know the spelling (Willamette) throws everyone off🤣‼️ Thanks a again for sharing👍‼️❤️

I'm an old city boy from Detroit but I love machines of all kinds and the big Combines are my all time favorites , ps now living in the North Carolina countryside

@randycorreia349 2 года назад

I’m a corn & wheat farmer. I wondered if they used a combine to harvest seed. A harvester separates by rubbing the straw & blowing waste out the back. Corn being heavier falls to the shaker. Now grass seed being so light must be a very accurate setting. It’s much easier than I thought thanks for the video.

Pretty interesting! Never thought of it before !

Mike, Thanks for the video of this unique operation and thanks for all the time you put into these. My favorite part was the Versatile !!

Glad you took some great footage of this little known plant harvest, Mike, very interesting and good to see different New Holland combines in the same field, thanks again

Welcome back Mike! You did a fabulous video on the grass seed. Would love if you could get a video of them cleaning the grass seed and screening out any weed seeds at the processing center. They are very careful and meticulous when they clean the seeds.

The guy who cut the field certainly made things harder than they needed to be, great video Mike

@thebigkahuna2753 3 года назад

Darren Kayes, I was thinking exactly the same thing myself. He certainly made it difficult for the baler as well.

@robertlonsdale3826 3 года назад

thats exactly what i thought- what an absolute cock up with all those corners and short rows not to mention the difficulty unloading on the go

@nwpioneer2551 3 года назад

I was only trying to help. Indan names everywhere are a mystery. I love your videos and the nice music that you add. Thanks for all your great drone shots. I've been here all my life and I didn't know that was how the seed was harvested. I think they still have to burn the fields with a propane burner. At one time they just set the field on fire but not anymore because of the smoke. When they burned them it would sound like a tornado. I'm an NW pioneer (86 ) because my great grandparents came here in a wagon train. Loggers, loggers, not farmers.

@Snowtruckdriver 3 года назад

Excellent video Mike. I grew up north of there in Eastern Washington on an irrigated farm. We used to buy our grass seed from down there in the Willamette Valley. (pronounced with the accent on the "lam"). Keep it up. Love your travels around the country. I have a sister in law in Portland area north of here.

Mark Reetz new guy did the install didn’t know they had a direction . Just kidding some run them backwards in hopes they don’t tear the field as much

@johnlekkerkerker9978 3 года назад

Also better life out of the tires. They run in very dry conditions and are only 2wd

@nwpioneer2551 3 года назад

The largest area for grass is south of Albany. 30 miles from Jefferson.

@davidrichard2761 11 месяцев назад

How do you winnow grass seed as it is so much lighter than corn seed?

@waynehilderbrand820 3 года назад

I heard they take the square bales and press him down to the fourth or fifth the size and ship them overseas for mixture and make pallets for cattle feed I’d like to see a video on the press that reduces the size of these large bales

@davidziebell1693 3 года назад

I noticed on some of the baling tractors in the video have pipes/hoses going up the back of the cab to the roof from the baler what are they used for just curious

Yes, perennial replants after 7 to 8 years where annual replants every year.

Perennial rye grass? And why dus he have his tires on backward on that combine?

Mike said in the video, there is very little nutrition in the straw. Used for bedding or compost for growing mushrooms.

@justinhamilton5389 3 года назад

Yield can run any where from 1,000 pounds per acre which is on the lower side to 2,200 pounds per acre which is higher yield. Average is usually 1,700 - 1,800 pounds per acre.
