Story Posted: July 06, 2010 Canola combine performance clinic, July 27 & 28 in Vegreville, Alberta Is your combine running a little rich? Attend the Canola Council of Canada's Combine Clinic in Vegreville, Alberta to learn how to reduce costly harvest losses. Canola producers can lose up to five bushels per acre if their combine isn't adjusted properly. The Canola Council of Canada (CCC)'s one-day combine performance clinic, to be held July 27 and 28 in Vegreville, Alta., will provide expert advice on how growers can minimize that loss. Les Hill, manager of business development and technical services with the Prairie Agriculture Machinery Institute (PAMI), leads off with a presentation on how combine settings, cleaning, feed rate, leaks and swath conditions can lead to losses.
For the rest of the day, leading manufacturers will offer expert advice as they walk through critical adjustments for their combine models. Attendees will divide into five groups, getting specific instructions on either John Deere, New Holland, Case IH, Claas or Massey Ferguson combines. Advance registration is required and space is limited. No on-site registration is allowed. To register, visit www.canolacouncil.org and click on the combine clinic icon on the home page, or contact Gail Hoskins at the CCC toll free at 1-866-834-4378. Cost is $65 including GST. Lunch is provided. The event is 8:30 to 4:30 each day. Location is the Vegreville Social Centre on the Agricultural Society Exhibition Grounds at 4802 47th St. Media interested in an interview may contact: Jim Bessel, CCC Senior Agronomy Specialist
