Manitoba Agronomists Gather Online For Annual Conference

The Manitoba Agronomists Conference took place online this week.
 
Provincial Pulse Specialist Dennis Lange gave a presentation on dry beans.
 
"We ended up with about 185,000 acres of dry beans in the province, which is up from what we've seen in previous years," he said. "Most times in the last number of years, we've been kind of averaging around the 130,000 range. Definitely a lot more beans that went into the ground this year."
 
Lange expects to see a few less dry bean acres next year.
 
"We might be in that 180,000 range, a little less than what we were seeing this year, maybe even down to maybe that 160,000 range. Time will tell. Probably the biggest reasons for that is we do have competing crops. We do have crops like peas that did really well this year. We have soybeans, yields were also much better this year. We got more moisture. A lot will depend upon a grower's rotation."
 
He says one of the challenges the dry bean industry has is volunteer soybeans, which can cause shipment rejections at the bean plant. Soybeans are considered a food allergen in the dry bean markets.

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.
