Aid for Farmers Approved, Urges Senate Action

The American Farm Bureau Federation has expressed gratitude toward the House's recent approval of a Continuing Resolution (CR) that provides essential support to the agricultural sector.

The resolution, strongly backed by key figures on the House Agriculture Committee and President-elect Trump, allocates $20.78 billion in disaster aid covering adversities such as hurricanes, wildfires, and droughts for 2023 and 2024.

Additionally, it provides $10 billion in economic aid to help farmers manage the steep decline in farm income amid rising supply costs and falling commodity prices.

Despite the broad support, the Federation voiced disappointment over the exclusion of authorization for year-round E-15 sales, which they had hoped would benefit both farmers and consumers.

The Farm Bureau now urges the Senate to act swiftly in passing the CR to prevent a costly government shutdown. The timely passage of this resolution is crucial for the stability and future of farming in America.

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
