No swather so waiting will be the choice. I live east of Calgary and will be trying for gradable wheat and malt barley.
I think a lot of the green kernels will shrivel up and come out as dockage.
When I first started straight cutting the green kernels would heat on me, but I had no aeration then. Thinking of trying a little bit, because if preharvest roundup disappears then I will have to either harvest immature grain with a few green kernels or go back to swathing. Expect moisture to average 14.5 on wheat and 13.5 on barley once the green ones are added.
Never have pushed the window on aeration, usually just cool grain for storage. Grain almost always comes off dry here.
