New XT-Series GrainCarts from Brandt Deliver Far-reaching Value

Regina, Saskatchewan – The Brandt Group of Companies is pleased to announce the addition of an all-new GrainCart series to their established grain handling lineup. The company’s new XT-Series carts make use of an updated tank design and new auger configuration to deliver significant performance benefits over other products currently in the market.
 
“We’ve designed these carts from the ground up for ease of operation,” says Brandt Vice President of Sales - Dealer Channel, Sheldon Gerspacher. “Harvest is a pressure-filled time and the last thing farmers need is a piece of equipment that doesn’t produce. The key is always to keep your combines moving and that is what the XT-Series is all about.”
 
The new carts employ a unique corner-mount auger design that delivers 8+ ft of forward auger reach, 15+ ft of side auger reach, and 13+ ft of discharge spout clearance. The extra reach and clearance ensure clearer forward visibility from the tractor cab to the discharge spout, allowing operators to work more comfortably and enabling them to be more productive for longer periods during the hectic harvest season.
 
Brandt has also added a new low-profile modular tank design that eliminates common ledges and catch-points, ensuring faster, more thorough clean-out and minimizing crop switchover times. The new design also incorporates a ground-level access door for safe tank entry for maintenance.
 
“Harvest is all about productivity and these carts set a new standard for the industry,” concludes Gerspacher. “Our customers have to be able to rely on their equipment when the pressure is on and the XT-Series really delivers!”  
 
Production of the new XT-Series GrainCarts commenced in May of this year and they have already begun shipping to dealers across Canada and the United States.

Video: How women saved agricultural economics and other ideas for why diversity matters | Jill J. McCluskey

Dr. Jill J. McCluskey, Regents Professor at Washington State University and Director of the School of Economic Science

Dr. McCluskey documents that women entered agricultural economics in significant numbers starting in the 1980s, and their ranks have increased over time. She argues that women have increased the relevance in the field of agricultural economics through their diverse interests, perspectives, and experiences. In their research, women have expanded the field's treatment of non-traditional topics such as food safety and nutrition and environmental and natural resource economics. In this sense, women saved the Agricultural Economics profession from a future as a specialty narrowly focused on agricultural production and markets. McCluskey will go on to discuss some of her own story and how it has shaped some of her thinking and research. She will present her research on dual-career couples in academia, promotional achievement of women in both Economics and Agricultural Economics, and work-life support programs.

The Daryl F. Kraft Lecture is arranged by the Department of Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics, with the support of the Solomon Sinclair Farm Management Institute, and in cooperation with the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences.
