In the old days, grain was cut, shocked and allowed to dry before thrashing. Grain was cut a little green, before the weeds had as much of an advantage. When the thrashing actually happened a week or two later, the weeds had dried down, and the thrashing machine did a good job of cleaning the grain. We grow a field of oats each year to provide oats for the local steam show thrashing demonstrations. So I know it works - we get nice clean grain. If you have the optiion of cutting and drying in the windrows, it might be to your advantage. However, you will probably suffer losses, especially if it doesn't dry down well in the windrows.
