AAFC looks for ways to reduce emissions in agriculture

Agriculture is responsible for about a third of all of Canada’s methane emissions and the majority comes from livestock.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) wants to find new ways to cut down on those emissions.

Methane is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential that is more than 80 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.

Video: Beyond the Kernel: How Horning Builds Better Forage & Grain Processing | Part 2 with Leon Horning?



In Part 2 of our conversation with Leon Horning of Horning Manufacturing, we dig deeper into the technology behind better forage and grain processing.

Leon shares insights into kernel processing and KP scores, processor roll design, high-moisture corn, stationary roller mills, equipment efficiency, horsepower requirements, durability, and reducing downtime during harvest. We also explore Horning’s Straight Tooth, Sawtooth and Fibertech Chevron rolls, along with the Shredder Mill and other equipment designed around real-world farming needs.

It’s a practical conversation about how the right processing technology can help producers get more value from their feed, equipment, and harvest.
