After 35 years of service, managers at McCune Farmers Union Coop Association, a single-location operation at McCune, KS (620-632-4226), were ready to replace their 1,800-bphDeIux tower dryer. Based on the length of that performance, says General Manager Russ Smith, there was no question about replacing the old grain dryer with another from Delux Mfg. Co., Kearney, NE ...
PTO shaft to cultivate the soil and prepare the soil for planting. Harvesters - The larger harvesters, employed in commercial operations, require the force of the PTO shaft 2 Series to perform the task of harvesting crops such as wheat, corn, and soybeans. ...
Thousand kernel weight (TKW) is a yield component, and protein rate is a price component. Both are important parameters to farmers and depend on photosynthetical activity as well as nitrogen availability. Up to 50% of photosynthetical activity of wheat is due to the flag ...
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. ...
From initial results and observations it is apparent that the BioCat+ treated digestate has an improved symbiotic effect in the crop rhizosphere. Crops of wheat and maize recently harvested have shown increases in yields of up to 23% higher yields than previously achieved on the respective lands. In Austria we have already had the results of the ...
For perspective, this compares with Australia’s annual wheat harvest of 24 million tons. With population growth slowing, this rise in grain use is largely the result of China’s huge population moving up the food chain and consuming more grain-based meat, milk, and eggs. ...
Winter wheat is planted in the fall. Early the following spring, red clover seed can be broadcast into the small wheat crop while freezing and thawing causes cracks on the soil surface. The clover seedlings get started but don’t take off until the wheat is harvested in mid-July. Rather than having a weedy fallow period ...
Its strength was that it linked the movement of wheat from the United States to the implementation of a new food production strategy in India. ...
France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, which together account for over one third of the European wheat harvest, have maintained high production levels despite significant declines in fertilizer use. ...
When the world harvest was good, the United States would idle more land. When the harvest was subpar, it would return land to production. ...
Three grains dominate the world harvest: wheat and rice, which are primarily eaten directly as food, and corn, which is largely used as a feedgrain for livestock. Wheat was the largest of the world’s grain harvests until the mid-1990s. ...
The objective of this study was to determine the N contribution from a red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) cover crop following wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to a subsequent corn (Zea mays L.) crop. ...
China is the world’s leading producer of wheat. India is number two. (The United States is third.) In contrast to the United States, most wheat grown in China and India is irrigated. ...
Growing warm-season legumes during fallow periods associated with traditional continuous systems of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the southern Great Plains (SGP) can provide supplemental forage, biological N, and protection from soil erosion, provided the legumes can tolerate drought stress and not deplete the available water in the soil profile. ...
In the second year, no by-products were applied on the treated plots, the control treatment was fertilized with N fertilizer, and an additional treatment was added as a nonfertilized control in buffer areas. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was grown in the year of by-product application and sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) in the following year. ...
Although this mining of underground water is taking a toll on U.S. grain production, irrigated land accounts for only one fifth of the U.S. grain harvest, compared with close to three fifths of the harvest in India and four fifths in China. ...
This season, she said, they could not harvest their winter wheat crop fast enough before the spring rains caught up on them and destroyed the grain. ...
