PAMI Looking To Reduce Canola Loss

 PAMI Looking To Reduce Canola Loss
 
The Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute {PAMI} is looking for ways to help reduce, and maybe one day eliminate, harvest losses in Canada.
 
Nathan Gregg is PAMI's Project Manager for Applied Agricultural Services, and says there are many factors that can affect harvest losses, but combine speed is the main culprit.
 
"If we just say we are going to go 4 miles a hour because that what we want to go, you're not adapting and catering to what those conditions are, and that might be a very good in a certain environment conditions and crop conditions, but at other times you should be going half that speed."
 
Gregg is reminding farmers to check their losses as its very important.

Cover Crop Grazing

Video: Cover Crop Grazing

The Living Lab–Ontario Cover Crop Grazing project is testing how livestock and cover crops can work together to build healthier soils. By comparing grazed and ungrazed cover crops on a diversified farm, researchers and farmers are measuring soil health, compaction, and crop performance. The goal is to uncover practical ways to extend grazing seasons, add value to crop rotations, and create more resilient soils for the next generation of farmers.
