Kernza is harvested (and planted) with the same equipment that wheat is. Some irregularity isn't going to matter.

As the seeds are much smaller, this may or may not be the case. The article mentions mills not being able to handle the size, but it could also affect other things.
The seeds are huge compared to, say, quinoa, which is also harvested using a regular old combine. My comment wasn't hypothetical. That is how it is harvested already.
Breeding is increasing the size of the grains.
