Prevent Big Loss of Grain During Harvest
Under average conditions grain loss in harvest is far higher than farmers expect. Poor binder work, shock shattering, faulty separator, and machine losses waste millions of bushels yearly. A guaranteed price offers incentive to cut losses to a minimum this season. Ensure binder is in good order, handle bundles carefully, use a tight floor, and demand efficient separator operation to save grain and earn more.
