Compared to traditional systems such as bunkers, pits, or upright silos, properly bagged silage offers key advantages—especially in minimizing spoilage, maintaining nutritional value, and improving operational flexibility. Vyefield Farms LTD., operated by the Kielstra family, is located in Abbotsford, B.C. ...
W hen a fire destroyed an old 800-bph grain dryer at LaBolt Farmers Grain Co. in South Shore, SD (605-756-4220), in early 2020, , the cooperative had the chance not only to replace it but boost drying capacity, as well, at the branch elevator in far eastern South ...
Mowers - Mowers that are used in large-scale operations usually require the strength that is provided by the two Series PTO shafts to provide the power required to cut the vast amount of grass, weeds, and other plants. ...
Despite the crop damage from the August derecho winds across much of Iowa and Illinois, there is no question that one way or another the crops will move out of the field come harvest. This year harvest will bring added challenges to many farmers, which is driving many to look to technology to help shoulder the burden. ...
” “We aim to turn what might be an average vehicle driver into a skilled grain cart operator by providing the right tools and assistance during high stress and high error-prone harvest tasks,” Holoubek says. ...
Harvesting TECHNOLOGY The technology of collecting raspberries with NATALIA- V and NATALKA harvesters is based side shaking system with one shaker per side (V-SHAPE-SHAKING-SYSTEM). ...
We introduced the product with the idea of making harvesting easier on the operator – and allowing them to focus their attention on other aspects of the harvest. Operators quickly appreciated not only the reduced stress, but interestingly, improved feeding in down corn. In addition, our tests show that effective row ...
This often leads to significant investment in tools and time to measure yield closer to the field, potentially slowing down harvest operations. One missed load on a 100 ac field can lead to error of 0.5% (assuming 180 bu/ac corn and a load is 1000bu). ...
The timing and amount of rainfall is critical in determining both the yield of sugar and scheduling of harvesting operations. Rainfall forecasts issued through the Australian Bureau of Meteorology are based on general circulation models (GCMs) and have a poor skill levels. ...
So yesterday (Wednesday Jul 22, 2015) was another busy day to take advantage of the nice weather. Like moving the wheat harvest operation over to Farm 7. OK, this is pretty lame. But you have to admit that the chrome on the back of the grain trailer is kept pretty shiny. ...
This study aims at determining the feasibility of CO2 bubbles as an algae particle separation collector in a flotation process and providing useful information for effective algae harvesting by describing optimal operating conditions of dissolved carbon dioxide flotation or dissolved air flotation. The first step is to develop a flotation model for bi-functional ...
Some of the issues include: Abuse of the Forest Source Document system (DOF): The DOF tracks and cross checks timber harvested from a forest operation against the volume of timber approved by the government under the forest management plan. ...
The steady increase of urban population and the possible effects of climate change that may adversely affect the amount of water available in current water supply systems, makes the study of stormwater and rainwater harvesting and wastewater recycling a high priority. The basic proposition is that any system of water supply that can reduce the amount of water drawn from main ...
The method was developed to support macroalgal harvesting operations in Orbetello lagoon. SC and TMSC values were needed to decide places and times of macroalgal harvesting and to estimate the boat work required. ...
