The second grain bin is almost erected. A couple large overhead conveyors need to be completed, and lot’s of little details. We all hope it will be ready to roll for soybean harvest. Most of the other supporting updates were complete for the wheat harvest, so many of you would have noticed those already.
Hello wheat customers,
Wheat harvest is quickly approaching. Both Dresden and Rutherford will be ready to receive your wheat. Hours will be extended as needed during harvest.
Please call to let us know your plans. 519-683-4413
There is zero tolerance for treated seed contamination in grain shipments. Please ensure all wagons and trucks are clean and completely free of treated seed.
Thanks and have a safe harvest.
July and wheat harvest are both approaching. Harvest does appear slightly earlier this year than most, but the upcoming weather will leave a lot to be determined. Rutherford and Dresden will both be available to receive wheat. However, Rutherford is under construction, with at least one day of planned shutdown for Hydro One to do some work. Please keep in touch with the offices if you plan to harvest, it will help us be ready to receive your wheat. Several fields of wheat missed fungicide applications this year; it’s also a good idea to monitor those fields if harvest is delayed. An early harvest with some wheat drying charges may offset quality discounts due to Fusarium or falling number.
