Abstract
In some instances, stalk conditioners for conditioning stalk stubble present in a field after harvesting of a crop may include a bracket configured to be secured to a piece of agricultural equipment, such as an implement; an arm pivotably coupled to the bracket; and a blade that is disposed in a slot formed in the arm. The blade may be rotatable relative to the arm. The blade and arm may be configured to engage stalks stubble within a field following harvesting of crops, including during the course of a harvesting operation, to break and cut the stalks so as to promote decomposition of the stalk stubble.
