The effect of different climatic conditions on wheat harvesting strategy and return

摘要: A Wheat Harvest System Simulation Model (WHSSM) was developed and used to study the effect of different climatic conditions on returns in three main wheat growing regions Australia. The carried out using 15 years (1991–2005) historical weather data for Goondiwindi, Scaddan Tamworth. It is found that during harvest period could have a significant influence predicted returns. For given farm setups, optimum moisture contents were quite different. control parameters, Tamworth 14, 17%, respectively. Growers dry warm location (e.g. Goondiwindi) would be able delay their harvests later date. They also gain better return than growers wet cool or Scaddan). This paper highlights importance optimising integration between agricultural machinery used, crop performance perceived risk.
