Unverferth announces new 55 Series Seed Runner

Jul 26, 2016

From Unverferth News, www.unverferth.com

Unverferth Manufacturing Co., Inc. announces its new 55 series Seed Runner® self-filling seed tenders for enhanced operator ease and gentler seed handling. Seed Runner seed tenders are ideal for the widest variety of bulk seed handling including corn, soybeans, cotton, peanuts and wheat.

The original patented, self-filling dual-compartment Unverferth Seed Runner bulk seed tender set new standards for functional design innovation when first introduced in 2006. Seed Runner seed tender innovation continues today with a new lower profile tank design and gentler conveyor design for easier and smoother filling.

The exclusive patent-pending rubber belt design features U-shaped rows of cupped, offset cleats for gently carrying seed at up to 40 percent higher capacity. The rounded discharge chute is fitted with a rubber lining for even-gentler seed handling. Two standard downspouts are included – 4-foot flexible for central fill planters and drills; two-stage telescopic with 34-foot reach on XL models and 30-foot reach on others.

XL model conveyors are eight inches in diameter and 21-feet long and offer the greatest unloading reach and speed. Conveyors on other models are 18-feet in length with a choice of 6- or 8-inches in diameter.

The 8-inch-diameter conveyors unload up to 35 bushels per minute and the 6-inch diameter conveyors unload up to 16 bushels per minute. A smooth-start feature quickly ramps the belt up to full operating speed for extended belt life. The speed of the conveyor can be independently adjusted from the engine speed.

A wired remote for easy conveyor on/off and raise/lower is standard; a choice of three wireless remote control packages – 3-, 6- and 7-function -- is optional.

Available scale packages feature an optional downloader kit for transferring data to the grower’s personal computer and an optional printer for instant hard-copy verification. Seed Runner seed tenders can also be equipped with a T&G applicator for easy application of talc, graphite, or other fluency agents and a hydraulic-operated jack for added parking convenience.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.

It has rained in South America in the last 7 days, but both the American and European models agree that Central Brazil remains dry in the next 14-days!

So just how much rain fell on Monday?
