Using Combine Pick Up Head in Weedy Organic Wheat Swaths

Despite all the weeds, I'm able to get a clean grain sample in the combine tank by swathing then using the pickup head.
My weed problems started last year, when I had a failed bean crop that let a lot of lambsquarter and pigweed go to seed. I could see all the areas of the field that had weeds were those that last year had the failed beans.
I also want to get red clover back in my rotation. I like how it gives me a year to knock back the weeds. I haven't grown it in a while because I don't have an outlet for clover hay/baleage, though I think I've found a few people who would buy it.
