Depends if you are in the dry western/ northern area, or the humid parts of MN.
Lasy year for the first time ever I straigh cut 5 acres of oats. It was so so terrible dry, there was nothing green in the field. But any low spot, would just plug up the combine, a few green alfalfa's would get it.
Typically with the weeds and cover crops, it is far too green to put through a combine straight. You need very clean fields to think of straight combining. In this part of the state anyhow. Need a good spray program to keep the weed flush away.
It's best to cut it just a bit of green left in the field. You lose a bit of test weight, so not good to cut too early, but if you cut too late it shatters a bit, and as you say falls over.
I should be cutting mine, but have other things to deal with the next 2 days. see what the weekend brings. So very very humid today, and storms north of us this morning. Getting to be a scary year, don't know what the weather brings next.
