Bow Island, Alberta | It depends on your crop mix as well. If you only grow one crop type each year, you might need bigger seeding and harvesting equipment so that you can get it all done in a fairly short window. But if you’re growing 3 crop types with seeding dates over a period of a month and 6 week harvest window you can get by with some fairly small equipment if you don’t mind working more hours per season. And I don’t see how a grain cart (as recommended by some above) is much of an advantage for a dryland grain operation with one combine.
Dryland grain operations can probably get by with an air drill and tractor to match, pull type sprayer and tractor, combine, truck and grain auger (using the sprayer tractor). Depending on what’s available in your area, there’s a possibility of getting some of that work custom done for the first year or 2 until you find out what works best for you.
