Climate and agriculture in the Midwest

On August 21, 2025, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. CT, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will host its monthly virtual briefing on climate impacts for the Midwest. This informative session is ideal for those interested in understanding climate conditions and their effects on key sectors like agriculture, water resources, and navigation. 

The webinar will review recent and current climate variables, including snowpack, precipitation, and temperatures, offering a detailed outlook for the weeks and months ahead. The discussions will address how these factors influence droughts, water availability, and agricultural productivity. 

Supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the American Association of State Climatologists, and the National Drought Mitigation Center, this webinar ensures expert insights on managing climate impacts. Participants will benefit from tailored updates for regions including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, and other Midwest states, as well as the Missouri River Basin.

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
