And the effect of that most talked about lately has been on the cost of gas for drying grain. One Manitoba company thinks it can offer producers a better, cheaper method […] Read more
AGCO introduces the AutoDock for Ideal combines
The Ideal can connect to a head in just five seconds
Harvest is that time of year when every minute counts, and there probably isn’t a grower who hasn’t cut corners in some way to save time and cover a few more acres while the weather holds. Taking a gamble by not removing a very wide header from a combine to move it down a public […] Read more

One producer finds the telehandler a valuable addition to the farm
For David Reinhardt of Carstairs, Alta., deciding to ditch his 200-horsepower front-wheel assist tractor for a Merlo Multifarmer telehandler took a leap of faith. “We were very nervous about it when we bought our first one,” he says. “The price per horsepower is a little bit higher.
