Tired of dealing with old storage workbenches that just don’t open like they used to? Swivel Storage Solutions from Manitoba has the answer – a complete rethink of how mobile storage workbenches function. The convenient and fully greaseable swivel hinge design eliminates the risk of worn-out bearings and slides, an all-too-common issue on standard workbenches.

Featuring heavy-duty construction, a convenient foot pedal that enables movement, and full-length steel tabletop, the Swivel Storage Solutions Pro Moveable Workbenches are designed to withstand the toughest punishment while still providing ease of use and maintenance.

Swivel Storage Solutions offers:

Moveable Workbenches – 30” and 60” models

Road Boxes – Up to 36” wide

Modular Storage – including corner units and full-length storage units

These models cover a wide range of farm applications – from tractor and vehicle maintenance to general storage, as well quick fixes anywhere you go. All models are designed with the swivel hitch system to keep your storage useful for longer. Also, each shelf is rated for 400lbs (181.4kg) - more than enough to handle the heaviest of hand or power tools.

Video: Our Own On-Farm Research Is the Best Source - Managing White Mold in Northeast Nebraska

If you assumed Nebraska was too hot and dry for white mold to be a problem in soybeans, think again.

This week we're featuring Galen Samuelson, a farmer and dealer from Wakefield, Nebraska, who knows all too well how devastating white mold can be.

"We don't have it consistently every year, but with our temperature and humidity, it can hurt us quite bad," Samuelson says. Looking for alternatives, he explains, "What I like about Heads Up is that it's non-harmful to the beneficial fungal colonies in the soil." Galen has been using Heads Up for several years now, after first hearing about it through a small ad in a regional newspaper. Watch below to hear about his journey.

When asked to write about Samuelson Seed, Galen said the following:

"Samuelson Seed is a 4th-generation, family-based company. It started with my grandfather, and I'm now starting to pass the torch to my son, Caleb."

"In the early 1990s, I started working with a company whose focus was on plant and soil health before those benefits were widely known. I've continued to keep plant and soil health the main focus in our farming operation decisions."
