13 tips from Combine College
Manitoba Canola Growers co-hosted Combine Colleges at Dauphin and Portage la Prairie in July. Here are few key messages from a general presentation on how to prevent and measure loss, and brand specific presentations from Case IH, John Deere and New Holland.
How to make in-bin drying more efficient
An Alberta study, with support from Alberta Canola, measured the efficiency of on-farm drying systems. The comparison of in-bin drying provided tips to improve fuel efficiency and reduce drying time and cost.
Pelta makes seed uniform for planters
The seed pelleting technology from Syngenta makes all canola seeds uniform size to improve singulation when using a planter.
Flatten the peak for better airflow
Canola and all other grains will naturally form a peak when augered into a storage bin. Because air takes the path of least resistance, it often exits the grain mass before reaching the peak. Flattening the peak will help with uniform conditioning and drying.
