Speakers stressed that vine kill timing, harvest conditions (soil moisture, pulp temperature), and minimizing mechanical damage set the stage for successful storage; modern buildings, calibrated sensors, VFD-controlled airflow, rapid field-heat removal, and tight temperature uniformity then preserve seed quality. Ongoing monitoring for hot spots, condensation and early issues, plus sanitation and variety-specific handling, keep losses low and seed viable for shipping or cutting. https://www.farms.com/commentaries/seed-storage-protecting-quality-from-harvest-to-planting-239216.aspx NEWS_239216 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:35:33 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239216_thumb.png https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239216_thumb.png 40 40 Fermentation has been used for thousands of years, long before refrigeration existed.

I saw Dan and his partner Janet speak at the VABF conference a few years back and I just loved how down to earth they were about the ups and downs of winter farming, farming in general, and work life balance, which is a lot of what we chat about today. We are also gonna be talking about how and why they certify as Certified Naturally Grown, and how that label has worked for them. https://www.farms.com/commentaries/lessons-in-winter-farming-certifying-naturally-grown-work-life-balance-w-broadfork-farm-239212.aspx NEWS_239212 Fri, 06 Mar 2026 13:09:50 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239212_thumb.jpg https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239212_thumb.jpg 40 40 Beneath the Skies 2025 harvest.

In this video, I break down the real cost, payback, and financial performance of a grain bin using actual 2025 corn prices, real payments, and real math. We walk through when the bin paid, when it didn’t, and why timing matters when storing grain. This isn’t theory — this is a full-year look at cost of ownership, cost of carry, harvest pricing, and test weight, all laid out on the whiteboard so you can run the numbers for your own farm. https://www.farms.com/commentaries/this-grain-bin-was-supposed-to-pay-for-itself-did-it-239096.aspx NEWS_239096 Wed, 04 Mar 2026 17:15:54 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239096_thumb.png https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239096_thumb.png 40 40 Big loads of beer | | South Sask Farmer https://www.farms.com/commentaries/big-loads-of-beer-239079.aspx NEWS_239079 Wed, 04 Mar 2026 09:45:12 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239079_thumb.png https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239079_thumb.png 40 40 We cover: not transferring a certain potato disease from the tubers, solving big problems little-ly, and it’s feedback friday, of course. https://www.farms.com/commentaries/small-solutions-solve-big-problems-don-t-transfer-that-potato-disease-239075.aspx NEWS_239075 Wed, 04 Mar 2026 09:33:29 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239075_thumb.jpg https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/239075_thumb.jpg 40 40 New tariffs emerge as business owners sue for import fees.
