On November 4th, I got to tag along for the last active day of harvest with the NEXAT system in North America. This machine is still in testing and validation phases and not commercially produced. While the only activity covered in this video is corn harvest, I am hopeful to return to show you guys more of what the NEXAT can do next year.
I'm not sure how long (or if) this concept will become commonplace in North America, but I have great admiration for those who think outside the box (and did they ever). They've invested a lot into this, and I wish them all the best. Great video Emma!
I always understood the name "combine" to be short for "combined header and harvester". Back in the day, the wheat was harvested and stacked into stooks. Then a machine came along to head the stalks, removing the stalk and husks. This used to be two distinct operations. Now, the operations (plus others) are "combined" into a single process
Despite having seen other videos of the nexat previously Emma, your presentation and interviewing skils were proffesional, informative and entertaining, well done on securing this exciting opportunity to help publicise this fascinating new tech.
Oh wow, that was an awesome experience! I've seen these Nexat machines pop up in some of the recommended videos here on YT, but they were always of the ones over in Ukraine. Heard in one of them that they were doing testing in the US, but never thought I'd see a video of it (let alone from Ag with Emma!) :D This was really fun to watch! So thanks to you and the Nexat crew for letting you tag along and show all this off :) Can't wait to see what the next decade brings for these
