NEW COMBINE OPTIMIZATION TOOL AT CANOLACALCULATOR.CA
The combine optimization tool, developed by the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI) for www.canolacalculator.ca, will help farmers set the combine to keep losses as low as possible while finding a balance with productivity and grain quality.
