Punjab farms two intensive crops a year and generates residue after both. What happens to that residue has become one of the most consequential questions in Indian farming.
Residue management here is not a side issue. It is the issue.
Punjab’s paddy–wheat rotation leaves a short turnaround between harvest and the next sowing, and an enormous quantity of residue in that window. Burning has been the traditional answer, and the costs of that — legal, agronomic and public — are now well understood by the farmers doing it.
A straw loader offers a different answer: collect the residue, chop it in the same pass, and end up with fine bhusa that is fodder or a saleable product rather than a disposal problem. It also clears the field faster than burning-and-waiting, which on this rotation is worth real money. Our bhusa business case covers the working numbers.
Cutting height directly determines how much straw there is to collect. The difference between a 4 cm and a 15 cm stubble, across a large holding, is a substantial quantity of fodder.
Cut low, collect the residue, and turn a disposal problem into fodder.
The alternative to burning — collects and chops in one pass, a trolley in 20–25 minutes.
Cuts as low as 4 cm with crop loss under half a percent, so more straw survives to collect.
Processes green fodder at the shed — 600-800 kg an hour, adjustable cut length.
