Maxi-Lift Inc. introduces the new HD-STAX®
Maxi-Lift Inc.
 Recently at the Grain Elevator and Processing Society EXPO, Maxi-Lift Inc. launched the company’s 5th new bucket design, the HD-STAX, designed to improve wear life, performance, and shipping economy while reducing down-time and storage space.
“HD-STAX is the next evolution for Maxi-Lift, a bucket design built for durability and performance that is competitive to ship around the globe,” said Byron Smith, Vice President of International Sales at Maxi-Lift Inc.
“The HD-STAX has it all; the tough design and increased capacity of our HD-Max, plus a longer life wear lip.
It is stackable which reduces storage space as well as freight costs. It’s the perfect bucket!”
Maxi-Lift’s elevator bucket designs are known industry wide as the template for long wearing, durable elevator buckets. The new HD-STAX takes the best features of those designs and carries them to a new level of performance. Broad corners coupled with a wider and thicker front lip beef up the HD-STAX to give users long life and predictable reliability.
Aggressive herd expansion reverses shrinking U.S. cattle supply
Reuters
Affordable feed and record-high spikes in cattle prices in 2014 encouraged ranchers to increase their herds at a faster pace than previously expected during the past year, analysts said in response to a recent government yearly cattle report. Expansion efforts by producers helped turnaround the seven-year decline in the U.S. population from a 63-year low after severe drought hurt crops and forced ranchers to reduce the size of their herds.

Keep stored grain cool and dry
Dairy Herd Management
Keeping stored grain cool is important as outdoor temperatures start to warm this spring, a North Dakota State University Extension Service agricultural engineer advises. Each 10 degrees the grain temperature increases reduces the allowable storage time by about half, according to Ken Hellevang, also a professor in NDSU’s Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department.

KSU researchers develop heat-tolerant wheat
R&D Magazine
Two Kansas State University researchers are developing a type of wheat that will tolerate hotter temperatures.
The issue is that wheat kernels shrivel if temperatures are too high during a period in May and June when they normally begin to fill out in Kansas. The grains do best when temperatures are between 60 and 65 degrees. With every 2- to 3-degree temperature rise, there is a potential 3 to 4% yield loss that occurs, The Topeka Capital-Journal reports.
