A machine for harvesting and drying a standing forage crop comprising in combination a mower, a plurality of heated rollers for receiving a flow of crop cuttings conveyed from the mower to squeeze substantial excess moisture and evaporate any remaining excess moisture above a predetermined reference moisture range so that the crop cuttings upon issuance from the heated rollers are ready for baling immediately. Moisture detecters positioned preferably before and after the heated rollers signal the moisture content of the crop cuttings to a controller. The controller can vary the temperature of the rollers or vary the residency time of the crop cuttings between the rollers or both. In the preferred embodiment the heated rollers are electrically powered induction rollers and a baler is used in combination with the machine.
