Winter Cereals Harvest Underway

The fall rye harvest is underway in Manitoba.
 
Doug Martin farms at East Selkirk and is secretary with the Manitoba Crop Alliance.
 
"A lot of it is probably off already or is getting combined right as we speak," he said. "Winter wheat, there is some come off."
 
Martin says the timing of this year's harvest is about normal.
 
"I think out west the winter wheat fared a little better," he added. "It had a little bit more rain and from what I heard out west of Brandon, the winter wheat looks very good. They were really happy with the way it came through the winter and survivability and they had a little more moisture in the spring."

We've never had an issue with our Brent grain cart—until now! In today’s video, we start with essential farm equipment maintenance on the bean head and trailer in preparation for the upcoming soybean harvest. I then transition to working on the grain cart and hooking it up to the John Deere 8R that will be pulling it this fall. Just before storing it away, I test the hydraulics and discover a surprising issue with the auger spout mechanism. Join us as we dive into tractor and implement preparations for harvest and tackle this unexpected challenge.
