Harvest 2019: An unconventional way to dry your grain in wet conditions
The 2019 harvest is shaping up to be frustrating for most. It’s no secret that harvest is well behind this year, with only 34% of crops being combined in Alberta (47% 3-yr avg), 47% in Saskatchewan (75% 3-yr avg), and 71% in Manitoba (85% 3-yr avg) as of last week. 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. It’s now a race to get remaining crops off the field and although we can’t control the weather, we can help you maintain the 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....

Tillage Equipment recruited to deal with moisture issues
Tillage recruited to deal with moisture issues Necessity is the mother of invention, but weather appears to be the mother of necessity, these days. That seems to fit as producers talk about the need for tillage in this October Farmer Panel. Largely in response to high residue levels, he says in some areas they are using a tandem disc and in others a vertical tillage tool. “Tillage seems to be what a lot are looking at these days,” says Boles. “There is a bit of a craze going on to use some tillage. It’s all related to moisture in this...
