You can’t manage what you don’t measure, and if you’re not measuring grain loss out the back of the combine, you could be losing two, four and even 10 bushels an acre on the harvest pass. Recognizing that both header loss and combine loss contribute to lower yield and volunteer issues for the next season,… Read More

There is a significant amount of time, care, and work that is put into growing a soybean crop. So, why wouldn’t a farmer try to minimize losses at harvest? Lorne Grieger of the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI) recently joined RealAgriculture’s Lyndsey Smith to discuss managing losses at harvest. As he explains in the interview… Read More

On the show: Elaine Froese, Farm Family Coach, on when to walk away from the farm transition; A clip from our Profitable Practice on stripper headers with Darren Maddess; Lorne Grieger with Prairie Agriculture Machinery Institute on managing header losses in… Read More

When talking soybean harvest losses, all the focus is on the header. But for canola, losses add up at the header and through the combine. Understanding how to manage those losses is a mix of agronomy, mechanical know-how, and patience. To break down the process, this episode of The Agronomists features Mike Staton, soybean expert… Read More

Grain storage, when done right and with proper conditions, could be a boring topic. However, we are dealing with the environment here, and well, you know how unpredictable that can be. To help us navigate through the topic of safe grain storage is Lorne Grieger of the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI), and Shawn Senko of… Read More

The average size of a new grain bin in Western Canada has grown dramatically in recent years. 1,650 bushel flat-bottom bins, while still needed in some cases, are turning into relics of the past. “Right now, the average bin going up is around 25,000 bushels,” says Lorne Grieger of the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI),… Read More

Even for seasoned soybean growers, harvest losses happen, and it’s estimated 80 percent of harvest losses occur at the header with soybeans. At $11/bushel, getting a few extra bushels off each acre adds up quickly. Just how losses are affected by combine header design and harvest speed was the subject of a two-year study by… Read More
