Machine Harvest Trial Methodology Current Machine Harvest Trials • Randomised complete block design • Five replicates where possible Challenges • Variability in paddock soil type/water application across trial • Weed pressure • Adverse weather events • Sourcing new cultivars – increasing seed testing costs
