Swathing Services
Swathing is a critical first step in preserving forage quality. Proper timing, cutting height, and windrow placement help promote uniform dry-down and set the foundation for efficient harvest and feed preparation.
Swathing Done Right Starts the Harvest Strong
Swathing is more than cutting a crop—it determines how evenly forage dries, how well nutrients are preserved, and how smoothly the rest of the harvest progresses. When crops are swathed at the right stage and laid out correctly, moisture loss is more uniform, leaf loss is reduced, and downstream operations like chopping or pickup become more consistent and efficient.
Cuate provides professionally managed swathing services focused on crop maturity, cutting height, and windrow consistency. Our crews pay close attention to field conditions, weather patterns, and harvest timing to help protect forage quality and maintain steady progress. By coordinating swathing with the overall harvest plan, we help operations avoid bottlenecks, reduce rework, and keep feed quality intact from the field forward.
Planned Swathing Execution
Effective swathing starts with timing and control. We approach each job with a clear plan, focusing on proper cutting height, consistent windrow placement, and field efficiency. Our crews coordinate equipment and pace to support uniform dry-down and smooth downstream operations.
Crop Quality Focus
Swathing plays a critical role in preserving forage quality. We pay close attention to crop maturity, moisture conditions, and field layout to help promote even drying, reduce leaf loss, and protect nutrient value. Proper swathing sets the foundation for consistent chopping, baling, or pickup.
Dependable Swathing Support
Swathing often dictates the pace of the entire harvest. We stay in communication, adapt to weather and field conditions, and keep crews moving to maintain momentum. Our goal is to provide dependable swathing support that helps your harvest stay on schedule and your feed quality intact.
