How does a harvester work? We went under the new John Deere so that the expert Federico Sánchez explains it to us.

Although there has been growth in companies that produce and sell balanced feed primarily for intensive production, the majority of animal feed is still produced within the fields. In the case of pastures, what is done is a cutting and drying process to then assemble bales and rolls, but to preserve grains as fodder, a much larger infrastructure and cutting-edge technology are required. Although they may look similar, the forage harvester and the combine harvester are machines that operate very differently. What is clear, a priori, is that where one enters, the other does not, since the first one only separates the grain and discards the rest as chaff, while the second one keeps the entire plant to process it and produce the feed. And how is that done? To learn in detail about this activity, Bichos de Campo consulted Federico Sánchez, a machinery technician who worked at INTA Manfredi and now works at John Deere. It is always talked about how livestock and dairy farming convert ...
