The Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute wants farmers to share
their ideas on how to harvest snow-covered canola swaths.
A large number of acres still haven’t been combined. Canola causes the
most concern because of the potential of large losses due to shattering
if left over winter.
If farmers have tried an idea or technique to combine snow-covered
canola swaths with minimum stress on man and machine, PAMI wants to
hear about it.
The combine isn’t the problem. Rather, it is separating the ice and
snow from the canola.
The institute wants to hear about all ideas, whether they worked well
or not. PAMI’s aim is to gather the ideas and make them available to
everyone.
Phone PAMI at 800-567-7264 and ask for Les Hill or Phil Leduc, fax to
306-682-5080, or e-mail pleduc@pami.ca.
