Watch for overheating during grain storage in hot weather
Manitoba Agriculture chief engineer Orly Friesen warns overheating during grain storage even with moisture as low as 12 percent. High ambient temps near 30 C heat grain entering bins, moisture migrates as it cools, risking winter spoilage without uniform cooling and aeration. Results highlight using aeration at night and cooling grain to 0 C, with potential to reuse bins for multiple batches when air flow dries grain quickly. Contacts through regional agricultural engineers available for questions.

Burning stubble costs farmers on soil and erosion
Manitoba expert Larry Slevinsky warns that burning stubble after harvest reduces soil structure and organic matter, increases wind erosion, and wastes nitrogen. He cites erosion losses of 30 to 55 tonnes per hectare and notes about 1100 kilograms of straw and roots are needed per hectare to curb erosion. Straw choppers help spread residue to aid soil workability.
