What’s inYour Glovebox?
As farmers, we all have our “can’t-live-withouts,” and—no surprise—they’re o en found in the glovebox. For this issue, we asked
Steve Winkler, a grain and oilseed farmer from Indus, AB, to open up his glovebox. Here’s what we found:
1.
Wind speed meter
,
2.
Electrical tape,
3.
Alberta Weed Seedling Guide
,
4.
Shark pen,
5.
Alberta and British Columbia road maps
,
6.
iPhone
car charger,
7.

Aerosmith CD (includes farmer favourites such as “Love in a Grain Elevator” and “Sweet
Germination”),
11.
Pocket calculator
,

Flashlight.
Each issue,
GrainsWest
will show you a close-
up view of an ag-related image and it’s up to
you to correctly identify it. Email your winning
answer to contests@grainswest.com for your
chance to win a prize, awarded to one ran-
domly selected contest entrant who answered
correctly. Then, watch for the next issue, where
we will reveal the full image and have a new
one to keep you guessing.
Do you have a glovebox that you would like
GrainsWest
to peek inside?
Or a farm image that would make readers say
“What is it?” If so, send us the picture and drop
us a line: info@grainswest.com
