Recognizing the enormous value of getting stalks, straw and chaff across the full width of the combine header, we asked readers in the No-Till Farmer email discussion group — how are you getting the job done with today’s extra-wide 40 to 60-foot headers? Check out the responses here.

The originator of the stripper-header was Shelbourne-Reynolds (S-R), based in Suffolk, England. The grain stripper was borne from the picking head on the manufacturer’s self-propelled green-pea harvester.  The No-Till History series is made possible by Calmer Corn Heads.
