Monitoring stored grain

On a previous program we heard from Harry Brook, crop specialist at the Ag-Info Centre, about preparing bins for harvest. Brook says that’s just the first step to ensure worry-free winter crop storage. He says you can’t just put your crop in the bin and leave it. You have to monitor it on a regular basis.

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
