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

When the Right Variety Choices Matter Part 1 – Wheat /Durum

When selecting varieties for the upcoming season, growers aren’t just selecting a varietal name – they’re investing in solutions tailored to their farm’s unique challenges. That’s where FP Genetics expertise and leadership comes to the front. By working with our Territory Managers, you gain a partner dedicated to finding the right variety for your operation, ensuring confidence in your decision-making. Let’s Walk through how we connect farmers with the best wheat genetics for their fields. My role as the Sales Manager is to oversee the Territory Managers, assisting them as they find the optimal variety for every farmer’s needs. The first question I ask any grower is simple: What are you hoping to achieve this year? Some are looking to maximize yields, while others need a variety that stands strong through a tough harvest. No two farms are the same, which is why our approach is never one-size-fits-all. Take Hodge VB, for example. It’s the highest-yielding hard red wheat registered in

One Trench at a Time: How John Conrad Tackled the Western Crop Innovations Transition

As one of the key figures guiding the transition of Western Crop Innovations (WCI) through its recent transition phase, Alberta Agriculture assistant deputy minister of primary agriculture John Conrad has been deeply involved in shaping this next phase as the organization rebrands and strikes out on its own. “We’re coming to the end of what we’ve called our interim year of operations,” he shared during a recent conversation with Alberta Seed Guide editor Marc Zienkiewicz. The transformation of WCI into a not-for-profit organization marks a significant milestone for Alberta’s agriculture sector. “It’s been a busy year,” Conrad said, reflecting on the shift. “We’ve transitioned new directors—talented Albertans with deep credibility in agriculture and variety breeding. Now, we’re polishing a new business plan that incorporates a different business model. It’s not radical, but it is new.” This new model emphasizes collaboration, integrating public investment with industry and academic i
