Extension and PA Farm Link Collaborative Relationship to Help Farmers

Feb 16, 2022

Penn State Extension has actively been on the Pennsylvania (PA) Farm Link Board for several years with numerous Educators and other staff serving as board representatives. What is PA Farm Link? The PA Farm Link website describes the group as "a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to 'Link Farmers to the Future'."

Through an ongoing collaborative relationship based on educational outreach, Penn State Extension and PA Farm Link work together alongside other partner agricultural organizations to align goals with helping farmers and aspiring farmers in Pennsylvania. An example of Penn State Extension and PA Farm Link educational collaborations include co-presentations during the Land Access Webinar Series : Find, Lease, and Purchase Land in Pennsylvania. PA Farm Link was specifically featured in the Finding Land session of the webinar series in helping provide online tools for aspiring farmers to be able to properly search for land based on personal and business goals. Penn State Extension and PA Farm Link’s collaborative relationship certainly helps farmer audiences to gather the right educational resources they need to succeed.

PA Farm Link has a very unique online land-linking database that can help current landowners Find a Farmer and current farmers or aspiring farmers to Find a Farm throughout Pennsylvania. PA Farm Link occasionally promotes their database and allows people to register for free or reduced rates. Penn State Extension actively shares this online tool for farmers in their local and statewide circles to try and help make future land-linking connections.

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.
