Calculating dry matter yield. 

To the untrained eye this wheat sample looks mostly green and healthy albeit short but reality is that it has run out of moisture and the heads won’t fill for grain. We need to know if the crops are worth cutting for hay so we dry it down in the microwave to work out the dry matter yield.

    Good luck. I do hope you can at least salvage some hay from it.
