Windrowers/swathers are often used in haying operation. There is a crimper attachment added to the windrower. After the hay dumps off the canvas it goes through the crimper rollers then drops on the ground. The purpose of the crimper is to crush and break the alfalfa stems so they dry faster to proper moisture content for baling. I just heard the other day that certain parts of the country do not crimp hay becuase of a certain insect also gets crushed releasing toxins that contaminate the hay. Is that true or did I get things mixed up?
