Harvest Sample Program Yields Good Results

The results are in for the Canadian Grain Commission's Harvest Sample Program.
 
Kerri Pleskach is Program Manager of Analytical Services with the Grain Research Laboratory.
 
"This year we had a good response. There was about a 35 per cent return rate of the sample envelopes we sent out, which is a little higher than the past two years."
 
She notes over 80 per cent of the wheat samples were graded one or two.
 
Ninety per cent of canola was graded at number one.

Video: John Deere 500R Sprayer | Next-Generation Booms for Ultimate Precision


Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
