Trevor Piggot, a broadacre farmer in Chapman Valley, WA, was in search of an efficient and economic management tool to reduce harvest loss during the cereal and oilseed harvest season. His solution came in the form of Midwest Fabrication's FeedstormTM adjustable cross-auger, a harvesting tool that has revolutionized his harvest performance, saving both time and yield.

With a focus on precision farming and innovative management practices, Trevor's farming enterprise has been using a 3:1 tramline system, operating two Case class 7 headers with Macdon D60 draper fronts. However, issues surrounding the length of the auger, reduced harvesting capacity, and speed of harvest led Trevor to replace the auger in one of his header fronts with the FeedstormTM auger and compared it to a competitor's brand in the second header.

The results were remarkable, as the FeedstormTM auger increased ground speed by 2-4km/hour, allowing for quicker coverage of the country. This was particularly significant as they grew some of the biggest canola crops Trevor had ever seen. The FeedstormTM auger also proved valuable during the lupin harvest season, reducing the amount of time they were out of the cabin.

Midwest Fabrication's FeedstormTM auger is a great solution for farmers looking to improve their harvester machine's efficiency and reduce harvest loss, as was experienced by Trevor Piggot during his 2021 cereal and oilseed harvest.

Hosting a GRDC Harvester Forum in September in Geraldton, Trevor is eager to share his experience with manufacturers and other farmers, highlighting the importance of utilizing innovative farming tools like the FeedstormTM auger from Midwest Fabrication.
