[AT] Harvest video

[Ralph Goff]

Mattias, Charlie, in fact most cereal grain is now cut straight here too but 
at the time of the video (1987) swathing was more the rule. It helped to 
even out the ripening of the crop. Otherwise the hilltops would be dead ripe 
while the low land and sloughs would stilll have green kernels. Also weed 
control used to be a problem and could really delay harvest while waiting 
for the weeds to dry up. Once we got into chemical weed control there was no 
problem that way.
