Farms.com reporter Rachel Gingell met recently with the president of Ruby 360, Barry Ruby, to talk about three innovative products to boost efficiency for poultry, swine, and dairy farmers.

Ruby showed Gingell the PigScale. The PigScale is designed to analyze the growth patterns of swine to help farmers achieve peak animal performance by continually weighing the animals in real time.

The Once LED lighting system has different color settings for specific animals at different times in their growth cycle.

“It’s the number-one selling LED for agricultural in the US and we’re taking Canada by storm with it,” adds Ruby.

The Munters Drive system is a DC-direct drive fan. Unlike conventional fans that run off belts and pulleys, this system is cool-running and can save farmers up to 40% off their energy costs.

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
