Harvesting and Residue Management - Swathing still dominates the landscape of Alberta withapproximately 69% of respondents to the survey reporting this as a dominant harvest method,with the AP and BT responding near 80% of total cropland (Dey 2000). Only in the MG and thePL did the percentage of total cropland straightcut increase to levels near that of the swathing,with each region and type reporting close to 50% of the total cropland area employing thatpractice. The lowest percent of area straightcut in Alberta occurred in the AP and BT ecoregions,likely due to wetter conditions and the need for the crop to dry to appropriate moisture levelsprior to harvest.
