Threshing Unit Losses

Threshing unit losses are those grains which leave the rear end of the machine in partially threshed ears.

Determining Losses

Pick up ten threshed ears behind the combine and count the number of grains still on the ears. If three grains are found, this corresponds to a loss of 1% (based on an average yield of 30 grains per ear).
