<p>The removal of straw from the seed bed to the inter-row prior to sowing maize is a critical agricultural practice. However, this process is inherently uncertain due to the variability in straw displacement. To investigate this interaction, this study developed a flexible straw model utilizing a discrete element approach, employing hollow cylinders to linearly connect the particles. Experiments were conducted to ascertain the mechanical properties of the flexible straw, with a focus on its biological and mechanical parameters. Subsequently, a full-coverage soil bin model of wheat straw was established to simulate the straw removal process, enabling the analysis of the interaction between the removal device and the straw during operation. The results indicate that varying operating speeds significantly enhance the influence of the straw removal device on the straw, thereby improving the straw removal rate. The maximum relative error of the traction force required for both simulation and experimental testing was found to be 21.27%. Additionally, a combined device was employed to simulate the straw removal process, with straw disturbance analyzed in both paired and single-direction scenarios. Finally, by comparing simulation results with bench test outcomes, the established model demonstrated a high degree of accuracy in simulating the straw displacement process. This research provides a valuable reference for the development of discrete element models for other crops and for enhancing the efficiency of straw removal devices.</p>
