Canola Harvest Off To Slow Start

Manitoba's canola harvest is off to a slow start.
 
The weekly crop report showed harvest progress hovering under 10 per cent.
 
Justine Cornelsen is an Agronomy Specialist with the Canola Council of Canada.
 
"This is to be expected," she said. "Our canola crops didn't get in until later in May/early June so that's just going to push the entire season back...We are a little bit behind but nothing to worry about. Most of the canola is down in swaths, the straight cut stuff is really progressing with that heat that we had in August."
 
Cornelsen says she's heard of more farmers swathing canola this year.
 
The three-year average in terms of canola harvest progress for this time of year is about 50 per cent.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


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.
