Part of Travis Heide’s motivation for converting a large farm to organics is the fact that many people don’t believe it can be done.
WALDRON, Sask. — There are 25 grain bins in Travis Heide’s farmyard, including six massive ones with a capacity of 70,000 bushels each.
In total, the bins can store around 550,000 bu. of grain. That’s enough for 10,000 acres of spring wheat, assuming an average yield of 55 bu. per acre.
For most prairie farmers, 550,000 bu. of storage would be more than enough. Not for Heide.
