Sammanfattning
The main findings obtained by simulation and valid for regions with similar climate and agricultural conditions to the studied region were that: (a) available combining time was highly dependent on grain moisture ceiling, which showed large annual variation, e.g. a moisture ceiling of 21% (w.b.) was related to a potential harvesting time of 65% and a standard deviation of 24% (n = 30 years); (b) in order to complete harvesting operations in most years, it was necessary to operate at a moisture ceiling of 22-24% (w.b.), however, the average moisture content of the harvested grain was much lower, about 17-18%; (c) overall harvesting costs were estimated at approx. (sic)140 ha(-1) for those systems performing relatively well, i.e. with a daily harvesting capacity of 4-5% of the cereal area and operating at a moisture ceiling of 22-24% (w.b.); and (d) the main sources of annual cost variation were firstly the timeliness costs and secondly the drying costs.
