Options for Alberta Producers During Dry Conditions

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) has a link in the Spotlight section on the department’s webpage highlighting Options for Alberta Producers During Dry Conditions.
 
“Alberta has been experiencing dry conditions across the province,” says Rick Dehod, farm financial specialist, AF, Edmonton. “Recent rain showers have been spotty with most farms having differing accumulations and different stresses due to the commodity they produce. Regardless, producers are seeking information and insights as to available options, and how to choose a logical course of action, as all of their operations are unique.”
 
“The purpose of the Options for Alberta Producers During Dry Conditions webpage section is to provide a ‘central location’ for producers to visit for information and tools,” says Dehod. “The information contained there covers a variety of business management and production issues around managing a farm during our current dry conditions.”

The Fendt Slicer explained: Grassland and forage stands show a high heterogeneous biomass growth when cut, which leads to different initial dry masses and drying speeds. The aim is to have a consistent dry matter content of 30 to 40% across the entire field. The Fendt Slicer 960/1010 Pro models with optional tine conditioner offer variable adjustment of the conditioner intensity thanks to the innovative ISOBUS control. The automatic adjustment is made using sensors in real time measurements or using application data based on the position registration of the biomass.
