Cereal Harvest Underway

Aug 06, 2021

Manitoba's cereal harvest is underway.

Mallorie Lewarne is an agronomy extension specialist with the Manitoba Crop Alliance.

"I would say winter wheat harvest is in full swing, it's a little bit early for any yield reports yet, so hopefully we hear more on that by early next week," she said. "As far as spring wheat and barley, I believe harvest has begun in the south central area of the province, in those early planted fields. I don't have any yield estimates to report yet, just that yield is highly variable within individual fields. I have heard a few reports of producers that won't be able to swath their cereals as there isn't enough straw to hold up the swath."

Lewarne says cereal harvest is starting early this year due to the hot, dry conditions.

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
