Can you swath buckwheat and let it dry in the windrow successfully?

That"s how I harvest it. if you"re worried about loss of seed when swathing you can swath while dew is still on the plants. I heard that will help keep down the loss. usually just wait for a good frost, swath and within a few days is should be ready. seed is set high enough you shouldn"t have to swath too low. the stubble should help it dry down a little faster.

Hi Steve, That is the way I do my clover seed, cut in the morning.
