There’s never been anything like this in Western Canada before. See, first hand, how a fall rye crop feeds into and passes through six machines as they line up side by side to harvest in the Ag in Motion demonstration field.
Fall rye has been seeded at the Ag in Motion site and has been growing all summer long in order for it to be as mature as possible for July’s demonstrations and to best simulate fall harvest conditions. The 15-acre plot will be straight cut by the participating combines.
