Farmers can lose up to $32,000 per 1,000 acres of soybeans from rotor issues. The industry sets a 3% standard for combine loss, yet many farmers go beyond this limit because their combine concaves aren’t managed properly. You’ll notice significant losses when you spot 6 kernels of corn or 12 soybeans per square foot – this needs quick action. Time spent on concave maintenance brings excellent returns. The industry standard 3% loss rate becomes achievable when you upgrade worn parts and keep adjustments precise. This detailed focus protects grain quality, keeps market value high, and ends up improving profits.
