By Farms.com

This June, the University of Nevada, Reno will welcome agricultural policy veterans Fitzhugh Elder IV and Rosy Brummette to the 2nd Annual Western Agricultural and Environmental Law Conference. Their session, titled "Update from the Potomac - 2024 Farm Bill, Public Lands, & Related Federal Issues," will delve into the complexities of the Farm Bill and its implications for the western U.S.

As key figures in agricultural policy, Elder, the Republican staff director for the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, and Brummette, a policy advisor for U.S. Senator Michael F. Bennet, will discuss upcoming changes and challenges in federal legislation that could impact the region significantly. Topics will include updates on specialty crops, dairy, forestry, conservation efforts, and the burgeoning sector of carbon markets.

The conference, scheduled for June 13-14, will not only feature this critical session but also offer attendees the chance to earn continuing legal education credits, enhancing their professional development. With options for both in-person and online participation, the conference aims to reach a broad audience interested in the intersections of agriculture, law, and environmental stewardship.

This event is an essential opportunity for those involved in the agricultural sector to engage with leading experts and gain a deeper understanding of federal agricultural policies and their regional impacts. The National Agricultural Law Center has organized the conference to facilitate dialogue and learning on these vital issues, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the nation's agricultural community through education and legal expertise.

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.
