Rice Harvest Systems Audit

Loss happens at every stage. Cutting, threshing, drying, storage and milling all take a percentage, and the cumulative figure is much larger than any single stage suggests.

Calculating the cumulative loss is the moment the sheet lands. A few percent five times over is not a few percent.

The page has the audit stages, loss estimation methods, a cumulative calculation and an improvement analysis. It also asks which stage is cheapest to improve, which is usually drying and storage rather than the machinery everyone thinks of first.
