But you get into small grains, you have to change concaves. Okay, you do. Even with aftermarket, most of them, you have to put bands on, you have to take out half the concaves, put in a different concave. What we design, what I engineered, is good across all crops. You don't have to change concaves.
Ladies and gentlemen, farmers, ranchers, and distinguished guests, thank you for listening to the Farm for Profit podcast, where we discuss the latest ideas, methods, trends, and techniques available to help your farm achieve higher levels of farm profitability. Remember, if you aren't farming for profit, you won't be farming for long.
Well, Corey, we had Todd Dale on here from Estes Concaves to talk to us about getting our combine set for soybean. But now let's jump into those that are starting corn harvest.
Well, corn's kind of, I mean, it's the same type of thing because a lot of the time you're killing the plant by running the combine through it. One thing we might be looking at is there might be a basis opportunity to get started really early this fall with not good crop prices and all that, but yet wanting to get the corn moving. And people might want to start a little wetter than they're used to. Is there anything different we should be thinking about on the wet corn side of things? No, not really. I mean, you've got to be able to get it through. The less trash you can bring in with corn, especially at high moistures, also incredibly key. So when you're talking about what are we looking for on the combines, I'd add the headers to that too, especially corn heads.
You know, you want your stripper plates, your deck plates, your chains, all of that stuff in as good of shape as it can be in. Especially if you know you're going to push the limits a little bit more with moisture because you don't want to bring in, and even your rolls, probably your stalk rolls more than anything. You want to bring in air and that's it. When it's wetter, you tend to get more plant in the combine too. So that's going to, slow your ground speed down, take more power. And that's also typically going to add some more rotor speed to it to help. It doesn't only have to thresh the corn from the cob. It's got to get that separated from all the other additional trash, the green leaves, the fodder that's really tough.
Increasing your rotor speed in those conditions is going to be your best solution to limiting loss. But at the same time, it's going to, I mean, That's going to cause damage. You're going to have to find a damaged amount of grain that you're willing to live with in those high moisture, those 27, 28 plus situations of moisture. As it's a little bit wetter, it's just going to take a little bit more rotor speed to make sure you're at least getting all the grain in the combine and not losing any.
If our listeners want to learn more about the XPR-3s and what you guys have in store, how best do they look you up?
Just probably Google Estes Concaves. I mean, it's going to be, it'll pop up and everything. Our website's estesperformanceconcaves.com. All the information that you should, I mean, a lot that you need to get started on the investigation process, if it's something you want to move forward with, and then give one of us a call. We've got phone numbers listed on there. We'd be happy to talk with you.
Awesome. Well, thank you much for your time.
All right, it is Corey here with Farm for Profit, and I'm solo today. We actually divided and conquered. We're here at the 2024 Farm for Profit show, and we're here with TerraClear. We have Devin, Brent, and Travis here. Thank you for having us here. Guys, introduce yourself.
Tell us who you are. Great. Well, thanks for coming over and chatting with us. My name's Devin. I joined TerraClear just about a couple weeks ago, and so I'm the new CEO. The new CEO. Super excited to talk to you guys. Yeah.
