Conveyor augers under the rotor grates of a combine harvester, at Schirmer Farms in Batesville, TX, on October 29, 2020.
Sesame seeds from a test harvest is seen on the frame for the cover.
The augers take the plant aerial with seeds to a cleaning shoe deck, and then on to two air chaffers, one of them handling threshing and additional separation; finally, the clean raw sesame seeds are angered to the hopper on top of the harvester, at Schirmer Farms in Batesville, TX, on October 29, 2020.
