How do you get a clean sample of grain sorghum

Using a 9670 corn , bean combine and 30 foot flex head with air reel. Also have tried filler plates which seemed to help but am looking for cleaner sample. Because I am in minnesota , moisture is typically around 20% or more. Any ideas?

We use Estes concaves down here in Texas they work really well for us

We use the wheat convenes you can't separate the grain with round corn concaves. We tried when I first bought the 9760 and had to put the wheat concave in the can do a really good job. We harvest grain sorghum every year. Also turn the air up to 900 and open the top sieve or chaffer so the air can get through and I think you will be amazed at the difference.

You would greatly improve your sample with different concaves. Not wheat concaves but they make a small round one similar to the large round
