Half a Bushel Saved, Six Thrown Away

Marcel Kringe was working as an agronomist in Manitoba when a grain sample brought him out to look at three combines. The crop was being downgraded, the machines were set to blow the problem out the back, and a good deal of sound grain was going with it.He spent a week dialling them in. The operation later worked out what that week had been worth to them, and the number was large enough to change the direction of his career.What's Inside- The grain loss problem he kept finding everywhere he looked, and why it is invisible from the cab without something under the machine to catch it- Why the loss sensor in the cab is the part that matters, and what happens to automated combine settings when that sensor has never been properly calibrated- What a drop pan actually tells you, translated into dollars per acre and dollars per hour rather than bushels- The combine clinics that grew out of it, and what operators with decades of seat time say they learn there- How concave settings decide whether weed seeds go through the seed destruction mill or straight back onto the field- Recovering from a serious collision while the business was still new, and what it taught him about not keeping everything in one person's head- Scaling from a handful of people to a team exporting around the world, and the culture rule he holds to about how everyone in the building gets treated- What he would need to see in three years to call it a success, which has nothing to do with revenue➡️ CLICK HERE TO WATCH PT. 1 Marcel Kringe | Ag Entrepreneurship: The Essence of Happiness: Connect with Marcel: Website: https://bushelplus.ca/who-we-are/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BushelPlus/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BushelPlus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bushelplus/ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChiABoQgTTuxU9ZgdHpE4fg  Connect with Growing the FutureWebsite: growingthefuture.caYouTube: Growing the FutureInstagram: @growingthefuturepodcastLinkedIn: Growing the FutureSubscribe to the Growing the Future Podcast wherever you listen, and register for Convergence Conference 2027 at convergence.ag.
