COMBINES ROLLING FORWARD

By Michael Raine Managing Editor

Anyone buying a new combine might gasp at the high price. For manufacturers, combines can be tough to create and sell.

The design must enable the combine to handle all crops.

It has to be good at corn and soybeans, the largest markets, but it also has to be good with wheat and rice. With a few optional parts, most do this well.

But when it comes to smaller grains and oilseeds such as canola, milo, canaryseed and flax, getting a combine to handle these becomes a bit harder. A gentle touch is needed for pulse crops.

Add the tough conditions we have in western Canada, like wet straw from large cereal crops and canola, and something has to give.

Manufacturers are making machines better at these crops in the past couple of versions.

There are other improvements when buying a combine in the past few seasons that have benefited prairie and Great Plains producers.

Canola remains the biggest challenge for all machines though, and perhaps the first question to ask the dealer is, “what have you done for me lately?”

CANOLA: LET IT STAND THE TEST OF TIME Research is starting to show that straight cutting canola is the way to go

By Michael Raine Managing Editor

“Even when we look at less than ideal harvest timing, the losses are not much greater than those experienced with swathed crop,” Chris Holzapfel of the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation told farmers attending the Grain Expo at Canadian Western Agribition in Regina last week.

The non-profit group has con-

4

ducted more than five seasons of straight cutting canola research and has also collaborated with Wheatland Conservation Area in Swift Current, Sask.

Based on this research, Holzapfel says producers should evaluate their own production systems to see if straight cutting works for them.

“Swathing has its advantages.

A good windrow laid into a good stubble is usually a pretty good

bet. And you can get on with the rest of harvest and come back for the canola after your other crops,” he said.

“There are times when you need to swath. When it’s badly lodged, with a lot of green material and variability, it can even out those problems.”

Holzapfel said some producers have suggested they would consider moving to single pass harvesting of their canola to reduce the amount of green seed in their canola samples.

However, he said his research has found no real advantages because green seed can be just as prevalent in both methods.

However, harvest timing is more critical in straight combining.

Research at the University of Saskatchewan is showing that total seed losses of 10 percent are common in canola with both swathing and straight cutting.

“That is a lot of crop left in the field either way,” said Holzapfel.

Shawn Senko of the Canola

Council of Canada said his group plans to increase average yields to 52 bushels per acre from 32 bu. by 2025.

Eight bu. is expected to come from genetics, including controlling pod shattering and dropped pods.

However, two bu. will come from harvest management, Senko said much of that will likely come from strategies such as straight cutting.

BASF research has recently shown that straight cutting improves pod fill by allowing the plant to mature.

As well, the Indian Head research has found that the increased seed size of an unswathed crop is allowing for greater gross yield when combined with the additional filling.

This means that almost equal grain is harvested using either process after taking into account harvesting losses due to shattering and pod drop in standing crop.

TECHS & SPECS SPRING 2015

“And you save the cost of swathing,” said Holzapfel.

“Ideal swathing timing is as important as it is for straight (harvesting) the crop.”

The researchers in Indian Head had found that waiting for 60 percent seed colour change could increase harvested yields by five bu. per acre.

Wind is a concern when straight cutting, but the widespread windstorms of 2010, which caused 40 to 50 percent losses in swathed crops, showed both methods can be risky.

Swathing does have advantages for producers with highly variable fields that are too difficult to combine in zones.

“We have a lot of potholes and small sloughs and that can result in wet spots,” Holzapfel said.

Genetics play a big role in reducing shattering and pod drop.

Bayer’s Invigor 5440 has been a consistent standout for its ability to remain intact for straight combining, but the company’s

new L140P appears to be better yet, said Holzapfel.

Last year’s trials of the Bayer variety found a two percent advantage over 5440 for late-stage swathing and four percent in straight cutting. They also found that straight cutting canola yielded a three to seven percent advantage over swathing.

Canola at the Indian Head research centre wasn’t harvested until Oct. 19 this fall, and the standing crop had a visual shatter of .5 to 5.4 percent.

“All of it was pretty good,” Holzapfel said. “The L140P and Pioneer’s 45H32 were both really good.”

Shatter and pod drop accounted for a harvest loss of seven percent at the Indian Head centre over the three years when harvest was delayed. Losses were as low as six percent and as high as 7.7.

Losses in some hybrids were as high as 14 percent in shorterterm studies.

“Economically, it works out

Supplement to The Western Producer

pretty evenly, but under tough conditions there are slight genetic advantages that farmers should take into consideration when moving to (straight combining),” he said.

Losses fall to 2.3 percent in

the right conditions, but if you are facing wet, then dry, then wet situations and much delayed harvests, then they have shown no advantage,” he said.

“We haven’t found a case for using them.”

standing canola under ideal harvesting conditions. Three years of research at Indian Head showed that Pioneer’s 46H75 had a one percent advantage under these circumstances.

Pod drop represents a little less than half of the losses. The longer the crop remains out, the greater the loss.

“Pod sealants can work under

Machinery can make a significant difference in losses.

The Indian Head centre quickly found that stripper headers were not effective in canola and that draper headers had a slight advantage over auger type units.

The centre is currently testing a Honeybee draper header. continued on page 6 ››

The extension headers that allow the cutter bar to be shifted forward for crops such as canola showed a clear advantage over all other systems, with a three to five bu. per acre savings. Testing is ongoing with BISO, Zürn and New Holland’s rigid, auger type 760CG Varifeed.

Claas also offers a version, but it is not part of the prairie research.

Vertical knives that cut crop and table crop dividers are showing reduced losses, and Holzapfel said these tools will likely be part of canola’s future on the Prairies.

“And when it comes to paint colours, well, sorry boys, all (machinery) brands come out about evenly,” he said.

Testing showed that rotary combines perform slightly worse than conventional when it comes to canola losses.

He said adding burn-down products such as Heat to glyphosate is delivering good results, improving early harvestability in standing crops because of the rapid and even dry-down of the crop after application.

“It also reduces any green weeds in the field and provides additional weed control, so I imagine it will find its way into a lot of (single pass harvested canola) fields in the future.

TECHS & SPECS SPRING 2015

Straight combining canola is gaining momentum.

InVigor L140P, which Bayer Crop Science introduced last year, is a canola hybrid with pod shatter tolerance.

Paul Chevalier, territory sales manager for Bayer in southern Manitoba, said grower interest in the variety is exceptional.

“Most of the questions I get are around this new variety … because this is a new practice and something new to growers,” he said.

A Bayer survey found that 80 farmers in southern Manitoba planted 17,600 acres of L140P last year, which represented onethird of L140P acreage in the region last. Most growers experimented with the hybrid because the on-farm average was 230 acres.

Chevalier said southern Manitoba growers aren’t holding back this year.

“We expect acres to double, based on that survey from last year,” he said at a young farmers conference in Brandon.

“What I’m seeing in my terri-

tory is more than double.”

George Shelswell, Bayer’s marketing director of oilseeds, said grower interest is also strong in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

“The research that Paul shared at the farm conference in Brandon only focused on Manitoba, but we anticipate similar demand across Saskatchewan and Alberta,” he said.

“We will have sufficient quantities to meet the demand for the 2015 season,” he said.

Many canola growers have been reluctant to switch from swathing to straight combining canola over fears of pod shatter, pod drop and lost yield, but Saskatchewan research suggests straight cutting and swathing produce similar yields.

“Even when we look at less than ideal harvest timing, the losses are not much greater than those experienced with swathed crop,” said Chris Holzapfel of the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation, which has conducted more than five seasons of straight cutting canola research.

Chevalier said the labour- and time-savings of straight cutting has convinced growers to switch.

“We’re definitely seeing guys who haven’t straight cut in the past starting to adopt it now, trying small acres on the farm,” he said.

Growers have many questions about combine headers, he added.

“We’d like to get more information on the header types. That is one of the big questions that we get … what are guys having success with.”

The other common question is about future InVigor hybrids: will all of the new varieties come with the pod shatter tolerance trait?

Chevalier said it’s unlikely because some producers prefer to swath canola.

“As we’re releasing new varieties, we’re going to have (hybrids) with the pod shatter technology and traits without,” he said.

“There’s a price premium, and for the growers who have no interest in straight cutting … we’re still going to have other varieties to offer them comparable to the (pod shatter) varieties on the market.”

L140P costs $8.10 more per acre than InVigor L252, based on a seeding rate of five pounds per acre. ◆

We expect acres to double, based on that survey from last year.

Wildfongs combine business with family ABOVE: Danielle and Russ Wildfong follow the family tradition. | MICHAEL RAINE photo

By Michael Raine Managing Editor

A family with a storied history making replacement combine concaves and parts is back in the business after a 19 year hiatus.

Rick Wildfong’s family began building concaves and other combine parts in the early 1980s.

Last year’s release of a new, high-wear concave for Deere STS machines brought another generation of Wildfongs into the enterprise: son Russ and daughter Danielle.

Grandfather Bert got the family into the business when he teamed up with Californian Ray Stueckle to design and build a line of precision bored, replacement concaves. The Wildfongs sold their company, Harvest Services, in 1995. It is still in business.

“We went to replace some (STS) Deere concaves and the price caused a bit of an ouch,” Russ said.

“The high wear ones were a lot more. And we said, ‘why not build them ourselves?’ ” The Wildfongs built their own

8

replacements last winter and added a few modifications to the basic Deere design.

The family found that only one aftermarket company was building high wear replacement units and decided to get back into the business.

Danielle said the family’s choice of steel made manufacturing a challenge.

“We went AR400, military grade metal. It means the cross bars won’t fold over if a rock gets in there or melt away in sandy land, but it meant we had to find a way to cut it,” she said.

AR400 steel resists abrasion and toughens the metal through a combination of alloy choices and quenching and tempering.

Russ said they are sending the steel out for laser cutting to avoid milling and drilling at their farm shop near Craik, Sask.

“We assemble and weld the concaves and ensure they are true,” he said.

“This stuff would take a long while to cut ourselves.”

A former pressure system weld-

er handles many of the assembly welds of the toughened material.

“The fit and finish of our concaves is to a very high standard.

Our wire spacing is exactly equal,” Russ said.

“I can’t say that the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) stuff is as good.”

The Wildfongs’ units also allow more depth between the top of the bars and wires, which allows more room for grain-on grain threshing.

Frame bars are continuous and set lower than the OEM version, acting more like wires.

The $2,000 price is more than $1,500 lower than the standard Deere replacements and considerably cheaper than the $5,400 price tag for the comparable high wear units from the manufacturer.

The company also makes replacements for Case IH rotaries and plans to expand into other lines in the coming year.

An Alberta producer says storing high-priced fertilizer in grain bags has paid off on his farm.

Albert Wagner said he saved enough money buying and storing fertilizer during the off season that he paid for his grain bagger and extractor within the first two years.

He stores 600 tonnes of fertilizer in the long, white grain bags, which allows him to take advantage of lower off-season prices. He said he has never had a problem in the six years he has stored fertilizer this way.

“It’s unlimited storage,” Wagner told farmers at the FarmTech 2013 conference.

Wagner originally bought the grain bagger to provide an extra 100,000 bushels of grain storage on his farm near Stony Plain.

He estimated bins would have cost $2.45 a bu., while the grain bagger cost $1.64 per bu.

Buying the $26,000 grain bagger and $27,000 grain extractor made economic sense when it was just intended for grain, but it made even more sense when he was able to use the grain bagger to store fertilizer.

Wagner said his farm has also reduced transportation costs related to trucking grain from the field to the bin yard.

“I wanted to increase efficiency in manpower and equipment. We wanted to speed up harvest.”

Wagner said he has learned not to over stretch the bags, especially with fertilizer, to prevent splitting.

He also said it is important to clean up grain spills to avoid attracting wildlife.

“If you don’t clean up the spills, the deer will find it. If they know what is in the bag, they will go after it.”

Wagner said he has stored grain with up to 19 percent moisture in the bags with no problem, but then makes sure the grain is out of the bags

by March. He has also successfully stored peas, canola, wheat, barley, oats and fababeans.

“It all stores fine. No problem. We prefer putting stuff in the bags rather than bins. It’s quicker and easier to clean up.” ◆
