Harvest Ahead Of Schedule

Manitoba Agriculture says harvest completion sits at 88%, well ahead the three-year average of 76% at this time.
 
Rapid progress was made in the soybean harvest last week, with many producers finishing up.
 
The grain corn harvest is sitting at about 8 per cent complete.
 
"There are some producers that are still waiting a little longer to get started, despite the opportunity to do so given that seed moisture content is typically between 20 to 27 or 28 per cent. Grain corn is safely stored at less than 15.5 per cent. What producers are hoping to do is take advantage of these warm, windy days we have the next week and allow some natural drying of that grain to occur before they take it off the field," said Oilseed Specialist Dane Froese.
 
Cattle are being removed from community and private pastures, and back to overwintering yards.
 
Greenfeed silage supplies have boosted the outlook for overwintering feedstocks, though pastures are in fair to poor condition, with very dry surfaces.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


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.
