When you combine wheat, dryland, you only cut low enought to get all the heads. There is very little "long straw" after it is threshed. Just scatter it with a spreader. No need to run all that hp with a chopper. Now with irrigated or if you cut low to rid the field of straw, its a diferent matter. Long straw left on the ground can give you problems later by plugging the cultivator/summer fallow machine. Hardly ever needed with dry land wheat. Course if you want to bale the straw, you want the spreeder or chopper off. Yea, they used to burn field off to get rig of the straw. I've never sold straw off of my farm, felt the soil needed it for fertilizer.
Make sure he gives it to you, but don't put it on.
Besides, the Wife will want the straw for the horse.
