It's worth what your paying. But what I did to set and adjust.
* Good grain is real hard to blow out the back. So lots of wind top of book or a little more.
*Not enough wind lets straw lay as a mat, harder for grain to fall throw it,so can ride out on top of straw.
*I like to start with chaffer in a open setting as per the book(some times needs more,but generally not),then start closing to make what is in the bin look better.
*A little straw in the grain is not as bad as grain on the ground. But needs to be balanced against the dockage and grade the buyer is giving it.(never stored any always from field to commercial warehouse with a test weight from returning truck.)
As others stated light kernels generally don't pay as they lower test weight,so you need to be critical of what you find on the ground. But always nice to have a good looking sample
especially when other see it at the warehouse. I have cut grain for growers that where unhappy with a real clean sample,thought you had to be leaving some behind and thought chaff was pounds (west coast always used pounds not bushels) in the truck.
