"You Want Me to Harvest 20% Moisture Wheat?".

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] following winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most prevalent double cropping system in the United States. Double cropping may increase profit, spread out cash flow, ensure global food security by increasing food production, and provide environmental benefits via continuous land cover. However, soybean yields less in double-cropping than full-season production systems due to delayed planting. Harvesting wheat at high moisture (e.g., 20%) may allow 7 to 10 d early soybean planting, hence greater yield, without affecting wheat yield and quality. In addition, wheat yield and quality is better than waiting to harvest at 13% moisture.
