Here you have to harvest oats like that to get ahead of the weeds.  I 
combined 220 acres of oats that a guy had cut and windrowed.  He cut 
them when it was wet and they stuck to the ground.,  I had a good pickup 
but the would shatter out when it went to pick them up.  It made 30 
bushel to the acre and he did not pay me because he thought there should 
be 60 bushel to the acre.  We went to court and the attorney lost my 
right to file a lien because he did not know about a combine & thrashers 
lien.  Attorney now is a state representative.  I worked 2 weeks on that 
one field and lost other work at harvest in addition to buying the 
combine to do that work...  that was the end of my custom harvesting days. 
That summer will always stick in my memory.
