A Brief History of the Newest Flaman Store in Swift Current
Flaman Group of Companies started on the farm over 60 years ago, when founder Frank Flaman saw a way to help other farmers by buying bins in bulk. That spirit of “making things better” for the farming community continues on today, so when Flaman had the opportunity to partner with an innovative, farm-focused company like Gatco Manufacturing, known for its quality products designed for farmers, the choice was easy.

Harvest 2019: An unconventional way to dry your grain in wet conditions
The 2019 harvest is shaping up to be frustrating for most.

Wet weather has plagued the prairies, with record rainfall in Manitoba and snowfall in southern Alberta & Saskatchewan in September. A combination of high moisture levels and widespread crop damage has contributed to diminished grade.

NECO Grain Dryer Build

It was a complex endeavour with many moving parts, and it required many hours of planning to execute. We had help from several outside sources: Freeway Transport, who were responsible for the dryer delivery; Xcaliber Crane & Rigging who handled the hoisting of the dryer; and Continental Bins, who provided assembly services. Additionally, Ron Kleuskens from NECO supervised the build and many members of the...

Kenaston, Sk Has New Grain Cleaning Technology
Spectrum Grain Solutions, located in Bashaw, Alberta, has purchased a BoMill TriQ grain sorter that has been installed in Kenaston, Sk. The Swedish-made BoMill TriQ has the capabilities to sort grain based on the interior make-up of each kernel, rather than the exterior appearance. It uses NIT (Near Infrared Transmission) technology to analyze each kernel and thus can sort grain based on fusarium, protein, vitreousness, seed quality and falling number at a speed of 25,000 kernels per second. For a full article click here. Learn more about the new technology in BoMill products on our Flaman Grain Cleaning website....
