Leah Olson took a break from today’s conference to offer some insight on why Guelph was a good choice to host the first-ever AMC Expo, which runs from 9 am to 3 pm at the Delta Hotel.

“In 2015 Ontario broke the record for exporting the most agriculture implements ever,” explained the president of the Regina-based Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada.

“That’s really exciting and has motivated AMC to be here in Guelph, and we’ve got over 100 people” at the event.

AMC’s mission is to promote the growth and development of the agricultural equipment manufacturing industry in Canada.

As a national, member-driven industry association, AMC lobbies on behalf of members both provincially and federally on key issues in the industry.

Video: Brent Avalanche 98-Series Dual Auger Grain Carts

The Brent® Avalanche® dual-auger grain carts have set powerful standards for unloading speed, convenience, capacity and durability. The all-new 98-Series of Avalanche grain carts carry on this tradition and give the operator more auger side reach and height along with choice of right- or left-hand unloading to meet individual preferences. The dual-auger design provides a narrow transport width and low profile for greater stability and ease of transport and features the fastest unloading speeds, no matter the moisture of grain. In addition to the industry’s first pivoting vertical unloading auger, the 98-Series is standard with a 4-way directional downspout that is operated on the tractor’s SCV remotes. The all-welded construction, rubber cushioned tongue suspension and heavy-duty dual-belt drive system ensure years of dependable service. Capacities range from 3,150 to 1,100 bushels and with unloading speeds up to 1,000 bushels per minute depending on model, operators can get back to the combine quicker to keep harvest moving smoothly. Bigger, faster, better. The Avalanche 98-Series dual-auger grain carts feature dynamic performance that now pivots to new heights.
