Jun 12, 2024

Efficiency and Convenience Updates on Brent Grain Carts

Unverferth Manufacturing unveils the latest enhancements to its Brent Avalanche double auger grain cart series, designed to increase efficiency and convenience.

The 98 Series boasts several improvements, Andy Unverferth, director of marketing at Unverferth Manufacturing, told Farms.com. He noted a longer vertical auger for quicker unloading and a new rear access door for easier cleaning between crops.

Furthermore, you now have the option of adding a rear hitch, allowing you to tow a header transport simultaneously, making travel between fields much easier.

Available in sizes ranging from 1,100 to 2,500 bushels, the Brent Avalanche delivers impressive unloading speeds of up to 1,000 bushels per minute.

Its double auger design not only ensures stability in the field but also enables faster unloading thanks to the horizontal floor auger.

A standout feature of the Brent Avalanche is its pivoting vertical auger, allowing you to adjust its position effortlessly during loading and unloading.

The cart also features a standard four-way downspout for precise grain placement without the need for repositioning.

Equipped with the Equalizer track system, the Brent Avalanche offers track widths of 42 or 50 inches, along with a side-to-side camber design for optimal performance on various terrains.

Video: Dicamba Returns for Georgia Farmers: What the New EPA Ruling Means for Cotton Growers

After being unavailable in 2024 due to registration issues, dicamba products are returning for Georgia farmers this growing season — but under strict new conditions.

In this report from Tifton, Extension Weed Specialist Stanley Culpepper explains the updated EPA ruling, including new application limits, mandatory training requirements, and the need for a restricted use pesticide license. Among the key changes: a cap of two ½-pound applications per year and the required use of an approved volatility reduction agent with every application.

For Georgia cotton producers, the ruling is significant. According to Taylor Sills with the Georgia Cotton Commission, the vast majority of cotton planted in the state carries the dicamba-tolerant trait — meaning farmers had been paying for technology they couldn’t use.

While environmental groups have expressed concerns over spray drift, Georgia growers have reduced off-target pesticide movement by more than 91% over the past decade. Still, this two-year registration period will come with increased scrutiny, making stewardship and compliance more important than ever.
