Der Milchpreis befindet sich auf dem niedrigsten Stand seit 2009. Auf der Agritechnica 2015 wurden vielfältige Neuheiten, wie beispielsweise ein elektrisch angetriebener Schwa- der, vorgestellt. Aktuell wird maschinenseitig in großem Umfang an Detaillösungen gearbei- tet. Die Verwertung von Feld-Reststoffen und sowie das Strohmanagement ist weiterhin von großer Bedeutung.

Schlüsselwörter Mähwerke, Wender, Schwader Mowing and Treatment of Hay Steffen Hanke, Johannes Bührke Institute of Mobile Machines and Commercial Vehicles, Technische Universität Braun- schweig Abstract Sales of mowers, tedders and swathers in germany are still declining. The milk price is at its lowest level since 2009. Nevertheless innovations such as an electric driven swather are presented at Agritechnica 2015. Further innovations in this sector of agricultural engineering are detailed improvements. The recycling of leftover biomass is indicated as an important process step. In this context two alternative processes have been suggested and investigated.
