Checking Conditioning Effect
Grass Crops
The heads should not be separated from the stems. The stems should show impact and rubbing marks but must not be slashed.
Mixed Grass, Clover or Alfalfa
Blossoms and leaves should not be lost or scattered. The blossoms, leaves and stems should show impact and rubbing marks.
NOTE:
Conditioning consists of crushing the stems as well as disturbing the waxy outer layer of the plant stem to speed up moisture evaporation.
