Grain Management Strategies for Winter

used with permission from OPI-Integris by
Chandra B. Singh, Ph.D., P.Eng. and Ron Larson,
M.Sc.
Drying
corn to target moisture might have already
been accomplished by now, or might be
underway depending on harvest moisture,
location, crop maturity, and time of
harvest.
However, winter is quickly
approaching, so grain has to be conditioned
as soon as possible for safe winter storage.
Safe grain storage is highly dependent on
grain moisture and temperature, and the
combination of these would determine the
safe storage period and/or the spoilage
risk.
Dry and cool grain can be
safely stored for a longer duration (6-12
months), however, it is often difficult to
achieve these goals due to several factors
such as wet crop, delayed harvest,
insufficient aeration and drying systems,
and poor management strategies. Different
management approaches for winter holding
will be required based on the grain
moisture.

Is Harvest Data Important? |
|
|
by Garrett Buckley, Ag Leader
One common problem we seem
to find during harvest is the lack of
monitoring of yield data. Most farmers
nowadays have some form of monitoring when
they plant their seed in the spring and
other times of year. How do you use the
information and data that you gained when
you planted your fields? If you don�t have a
type of yield monitoring system, then the
planting data that you gathered won�t have
any supportive information in helping you
determine which hybrids are best for your
needs.
Due to the drop in our crop
prices, we need to figure out the most
efficient ways to get a good yield at the
end of the year. By monitoring our yields,
we can find out the best hybrid and which
place it does the best at. Combining all of
your data at the end of the year (planting,
fertilizer, and yield) allows you to
distinguish the best and not so good
combinations of all aspects of your farming.
By analyzing the data at the end of the year
you can make changes with your agronomist,
farm manager, HTS Ag representative, or even
yourself to improve your future crop choices
and getting you more bang for your buck! |

AgFiniti Saves You Time During Harvest! |
|
|
by Kaleb Lindquist, Ag Leader
We�ve all heard the expression that time
is money, this can be especially true during
harvest time. Each year we strive to make
harvest more efficient than the last. Isn�t
it about time we capitalize on this concept?
Have you ever had a service provider
waiting on your yield data so they could
accurately spread your fall fertilizer? How
about waiting for a guidance line before
your second machine could start running?
Have you ever had to wait at the field edge,
for your dealer to calibrate your yield
monitor?
With the AgFiniti® wireless
platform, we�re bringing a new level of
efficiency to your operation. Wirelessly
send or share yield maps with your service
provider, allowing them to create
prescriptions faster and get your fields
spread quicker. Send guidance lines and
other setup files to multiple Ag Leader
displays without leaving the cab; allowing
consistency between displays and maximizing
operating time.
