Abstract
Methods and systems utilize multiple components to improve the threshing operation within an agricultural combine. The methods and systems include a unique concave design, open valley rasp bars, and restrictor plates. Application of the methods and systems' components allows more efficient threshing operations for large grains such as corn and, also, for small grains such as soybeans resulting in an increased capture and retention of seed from the threshing operation.
