Weed control is vital to agriculture, because weeds decrease yields, increase production costs, interfere with harvest, and lower product quality. Weeds also impede irrigation water-flow, interfere with pesticide application, and harbour disease organisms.
However, if the weather is bad and the quality of the grain is in danger, it may be more economical to protect quality by harvesting early (before ripeness) even if an increased post-harvest drying cost is incurred. Due to the timeliness factor, machinery of a somewhat higher capacity is often employed to avoid timeliness penalties that may accrue due to the use of a contractor, machine breakdown and repair, bad weather or operator illness.
