"160 Acres of Gold Giveaway" attracts a lot of attention

Nov 11, 2022

There is a lot of optimism at this year's Red Deer Agri-Trade show.

Visitors to the show are busy checking out the 500 exhibits featuring everything from the major manufacturers, shortline dealers, data technology and more.

A key highlight on the first day of the show was SeedMaster's contest announcement for 160 Acres of Gold.

Global Sales Manager Tim Criddle says the contest will provide one lucky grower in Western Canada with everything they need to seed, grow and harvest a full quarter section of Canola including the use of a seed drill and combine.

"The winner is going to receive Invigor hybrid canola from BASF, Liberty herbicide from BASF, along with Centurion herbicide from BASF. ESN smart nitrogen fertilizer, agronomic support from Decisive Farming, use of a crop intelligence moisture driven yield potential weather station and service from Crop Intelligence. As well, we're going to pull on to the farm with a SeedMaster ULTRA SR drill. We're going to basically provide everything that we can to grow this crop. We're going to put the seed in the ground, we're going to custom spray the crop as needed, right through to harvest."

Video: We’ll NEVER Use These Grain Bins Again!

A huge change is happening on the farm — our new grain bin has officially arrived, and that means we’ll never use some of our old grain bins again. In today's video, we take delivery of the new grain bin, look back at the old bins that have been part of our farm for years, and talk about why this upgrade is such a big deal for harvest, grain storage, and the future of our family farm.

This is more than just a grain bin delivery. It’s the end of an era and the start of a major farm upgrade that will completely change how we handle corn during harvest. From old grain storage to a brand-new bin setup, this project is one of the biggest improvements we’ve made at the farm.

Join me as the new grain bin shows up, the bin project continues, and we prepare for a new chapter in harvest efficiency on our Minnesota family farm.
