What’s inYour Glovebox?
As farmers, we all have our “can’t-live-withouts,” and—no surprise—they’re often found in the glovebox. In this issue, we asked
Magnus von Rennenkampff, a grain farmer fromWestlock, to open up his glovebox. Here’s what we found:
1.
Safety glasses
,
2.
Dust mask,
3.
Seeding depth gauge (used to check seed depth while seeding)
,
4.
Pocket knife,
5.
Soil sample bag (used
to collect soil samples that will be sent away for nutrient analysis),
6.
Calculator,
7.
Matches
,
8.
Block heater timer (used to set your vehicle block
heater on a timer rather than have it running constantly),
9.
Paint marker,
10.
Play-Doh,
11.
30-06 rifle ammunition casing,
12.
Tape measure,
13.
Coolant tester/hydrometer (used to test vehicle coolant to ensure it is mixed at the proper ratio)
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
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:
What is it?
