Producers only get one chance at harvest, and to get the most possible yield from their crop their combine needs to be calibrated just right.
This is what brought close to 50 producers, from across Manitoba and as far as Quebec, to EMILI’s Innovation Farms powered by AgExpert on June 11, 2025 for EMILI’s Producer Day with Bushel Plus Harvest Academy. Attendees learned more about their machines and how to calibrate various combines to reduce yield loss during harvest.
The day was jam-packed with information and featured a mix of classroom-style learning that took place inside the shop at Innovation Farms centre, and demonstrations on Claas, Case IH and John Deere combines, with plenty of opportunities for interactive, hands-on instruction with experts from Bushel Plus.
Marcel Kringe, founder and CEO of Bushel Plus, and Tyson Sanderson, product specialist at Bushel Plus, walked attendees through the inner workings of several parts of the combine, including the header, threshing system and cleaning system, and how to calibrate these systems to capture more yield during harvest.
“We could really take producers from front to back through how the grain is going through the combine, how they could figure out the calibration of the combine, and learn more about what they can do to have a more efficient harvest,” said Kringe.
Having three types of combines available at the event ensured that all producers were able to get the most out of the information that was shared.
