On Tuesday Manitoba Canola Growers presented Make Every Seed Count, a webinar that provided practical tips to minimize Canola Harvest Loss.
The webinar was moderated by Jay Whetter, Canola Council of Canada Communication Manager and Editor of Canola Digest.
It featured Shawn Senko, an Agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada. He spoke on the topic of harvest losses.
“Lots of losses are from overreliance on the loss monitor. Just assuming that if you’re watching the loss monitor you’re good, and that the monitor is going to be accurate. Without actually checking and being able to quantify it to the loss monitor, it’s not very accurate.”
Marcel Kringe, founder of Bushel Plus, and Neil Smith, VP of Business Integration of Bushel plus were also featured. Marcel gave some tips and tricks to use in the field.
“We really found that it’s an eye-opening experience, in the words of our customers, once they start using drop pan systems, especially when it makes it safe, quick, and easy for you to use. That was one of the reasons we put so much thought into our system, to make it quick and easy.”
Everyone who registered for the event was entered to win a Bushel Plus Harvest Loss System, and Duane Zimmer was the winner.
