MAKE STORAGE BINS PEST-PROOF

Clean storage areas prevent pest contamination of harvest grain. So remove last year’s grain and any other debris from each bin.

ENSURE EQUIPMENT IS TUNED UP

Having combines, grain carts, tractors, and trucks

serviced before harvest will help you avoid any

delays due to breakdowns. Order any parts you

might need during harvest in advance, so you’re not

waiting for an order to arrive.

PICK YOUR PRIORITIES

With your planting schedule and crop moisture

levels in mind, set a schedule of which fi elds to

harvest fi rst. If fi elds have low spots or areas that

are wet, make sure you harvest them before the

chance of rain or snow.
