Harvesting Equipment

The following equipment is required to harvest sorghum in FS22:

• Combine harvester. A combine harvester is a self-propelled machine that combines the harvesting, threshing, and cleaning of grain crops. Combine harvesters are typically used to harvest cereals such as wheat, corn, and sorghum.
• Pickup truck. A pickup truck is used to transport grain from the combine harvester to the grain cart.
• Grain cart. A grain cart is a trailer that is used to transport grain from the pickup truck to the silo.
• Baler. A baler is used to bale hay or straw. Bales can be used as animal feed or for bedding.

Harvesting Process

The harvesting process for sorghum in FS22 is as follows:

1. Adjust header. The header is the part of the combine harvester that cuts the grain. The header must be adjusted to the correct width for the crop being harvested.
2. Operate combine. The combine harvester is operated by a farmer or operator. The operator controls the speed of the combine and the height of the header. The operator also controls the grain auger, which moves the grain from the header to the threshing drum.
3. Clean grain. The threshing drum separates the grain from the chaff. The chaff is blown out of the combine harvester, and the grain is sent to the grain tank.
4. Load grain into truck. The grain tank on the combine harvester is emptied by a grain auger. The grain auger lifts the grain out of the tank and into the pickup truck.
5. Transport grain to grain cart. The pickup truck transports the grain to the grain cart. The grain cart is a trailer that is used to store grain.
6. Unload grain into grain cart. The grain cart is unloaded by a grain auger. The grain auger lifts the grain out of the pickup truck and into the grain cart.
7. Transport grain to silo. The grain cart transports the grain to the silo. The silo is a structure that is used to store grain.
8. Bale grain. A baler is used to bale hay or straw. Bales can be used as animal feed or for bedding.
9. Transport bales to storage. The bales are transported to a storage facility. The storage facility can be a barn, a shed, or a silo.

Harvesting sorghum in FS22 is a complex process that requires careful planning and execution. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can successfully harvest sorghum and store it for future use.

Storage

Once you have harvested your sorghum, you will need to store it until you are ready to sell it. There are a few different ways to store sorghum, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Silo

A silo is a cylindrical structure that is used to store grain. Silos are typically made of concrete or metal, and they can be either above-ground or below-ground. Silos are a good option for storing sorghum because they are airtight, which helps to protect the grain from pests and moisture. However, silos can be expensive to build and maintain.

Grain bin

A grain bin is a large, rectangular structure that is used to store grain. Grain bins are typically made of metal, and they can be either above-ground or below-ground. Grain bins are a good option for storing sorghum because they are relatively inexpensive to build and maintain. However, grain bins are not as airtight as silos, which means that they are not as well-protected from pests and moisture.

Barn

A barn is a multipurpose structure that can be used to store sorghum, as well as other types of livestock and equipment. Barns are typically made of wood or metal, and they can be either free-standing or attached to a house or other structure. Barns are a good option for storing sorghum because they are relatively inexpensive to build and maintain. However, barns are not as airtight as silos or grain bins, which means that they are not as well-protected from pests and moisture.

Marketing

Once you have harvested and stored your sorghum, you will need to market it in order to sell it. There are a few different ways to market sorghum, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Sell grain to grain elevator

The most common way to market sorghum is to sell it to a grain elevator. Grain elevators are businesses that purchase grain from farmers and then sell it to other businesses, such as livestock feedlots and ethanol plants. Grain elevators are a good option for selling sorghum because they are typically located in rural areas, which means that they are convenient for farmers to access. However, grain elevators typically offer lower prices for sorghum than other marketing options.

Sell grain to livestock feedlot

Another way to market sorghum is to sell it to a livestock feedlot. Livestock feedlots are businesses that raise livestock, such as cattle and hogs, for slaughter. Livestock feedlots purchase grain to feed their animals, and they are often willing to pay higher prices for sorghum than grain elevators. However, livestock feedlots are typically located further away from farms than grain elevators, which means that it can be more expensive to transport sorghum to them.

Sell grain to ethanol plant

Ethanol plants are businesses that produce ethanol, a type of biofuel that is made from corn and other types of grain. Ethanol plants purchase grain to use as a feedstock for their production process. Ethanol plants typically offer higher prices for sorghum than grain elevators or livestock feedlots. However, ethanol plants are typically located further away from farms than grain elevators or livestock feedlots, which means that it can be more expensive to transport sorghum to them.

Sorghum is a versatile crop that can be used for a variety of purposes, including food, feed, and biofuel. Harvesting, storing, and marketing sorghum can be a complex process, but it is important to understand the different steps involved in order to get the best possible results.
