Storing Of Wet Grain Could Result In Bulk Freezing

With the wet harvest, extra attention will need to be paid to stored grain over the winter.

"You want to be looking any spikes in temperature throughout the profile of the bin," she said. "If you have cables that helps with that monitoring, but certainly we don't want to just rely on this technology. Manually probing, pulling out loads out of the bin, that will help to brake up any hot spots that have started but also give you a closer look at it, a physical feel of the bin."

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.
