Crop Logistics Working Group Receives Renewed Mandate

Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz has announced that the Crop Logistics Working Group (CLWG) has received its third mandate to bring together agriculture sector experts to provide advice on how to improve the grain handling and transportation system.
 
"Canada’s crop industry is a vital part of the Canadian economy and we will continue to work with all parts of the supply chain to get farmers’ products to market," said Ritz. "The renewed mandate for the CLWG will support the government’s long-term strategy to strengthen and modernize Canada’s grain sector to position it for future growth."
 
The working group will be chaired by Murdoch MacKay and will include representation from across the agriculture sector.
 
"I look forward to working with my industry colleagues to find ways of improving and strengthening the grain supply chain," said MacKay, who also serves as the Commissioner of the Canadian Grain Commission.
 
The first meeting took place Thursday in Winnipeg.

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.
