Winter Wheat Slightly Behind Schedule

This year's winter wheat crop is slightly delayed.
 
That according to Doug Martin, chair of Winter Cereals Manitoba.
 
"Even with the mild winter there was some winter kill or some winter damage to the winter wheat crop," he said. "With the late spring, I think there was some damage with water sitting...Talking to a few growers and they're pleased with what made it through the winter."
 
Martin says winter wheat harvest normally gets underway around August long weekend.
 
"I know mine is heading and we'll be doing fusarium spraying today or tomorrow. It's in the boot or just heading right now. Our rye has been headed now for probably 10 days, it's quite advanced. Rye's got a little more winter hardiness, so it survived the winter fairly well."

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
