What happens to a crop quality when it over winters in the swath?
Straw deteriorates from microbial activity. The straw turns grey from weathering, bacterial and fungal growth, and spores formation. If the cereal grain or oilseeds sprout, starch is converted to sugar, and bushel weights drop. In canola and flax, the free fatty acid content of the seed increases due to oxidation and rancidity can be a problem.
