Sneak Peek Pictures: The Tribine New Machinery Concept Combination of a combine and a 1000 bushel grain cart. What do you think of the idea?

An innovative combination combine and grain cart called the Tribine is the
result of Indiana's Ben Dillons's idea and persistence over 12 years of work in
his farm shop.

The Tribine is a combine and grain cart in one articulated
unit that offers the first game changing new harvester architecture to come out
since self-propelled combines launched in the 1940s. Dillon’s modified AGCO
Combine moves the grain tank from the top of the machine to the rear, allowing
for a much larger hopper to be included.

The Tribine will be making its
world debut at the Ag Connect Expo that runs Jan. 29 to 31 in Kansas City. The
potential final commercial cost of the Tribine has not yet been determined, but
it does have the potential to fundamentally change the harvesting
market.

What does everyone think of the idea?

I like the way the machine is built and I personally think it has been designed to accept huge headers, just no talk of capacity yet from them

ABP Working Groups address key issues

From traceability to trade structure, coal mining to wildlife conflict, ABP has active working groups on four of the most important files facing Alberta beef producers. Here are updates from each of the groups: Traceability Following the direction of resolutions carried by delegates at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, ABP’s board is forming a dedicated Traceability Working Group. The working group will examine traceability closely, with the objective of providing producer-driven feedback and solutions that reflect on-the-ground realities across Alberta’s beef sector. Members of the working group are being finalized, and will include representatives from ABP’s executive, directors and delegates; partner cattle organizations; and groups such as the Government of Alberta. The working group will be supported by a dedicated facilitator to maintain clear timelines, while also ensuring issues are thoroughly examined. The goal is to develop realistic, workable recommendations to present t

What drives the true cost of forage production?

New COP Network benchmarks reveal what drives forage production costs in Canadian cow-calf operations, from hay and silage to greenfeed, and where producers can improve efficiency. Forage is the backbone of every cow-calf operation — but how much does it really cost to grow? While feed is often viewed as a “homegrown” input, the reality is that forage production can make or break cost competitiveness, especially as input costs continue to rise. Data from the Canadian Cow-calf Cost of Production Network show wide differences in the cost of producing forages such as hay, corn silage, corn for grazing, cereal silage, and greenfeed. But the real insight isn’t just what those costs are, it’s why they differ from farm to farm. Forage costs vary, management matters This analysis includes data from 59 COP Network benchmark farms from 2020 to 2024, covering five major forage types — hay, corn silage, corn for grazing, cereal silage, and greenfeed. Hay remains the dominant forage on Canadia
