Ask the Machinery Editor | Grainews

Travis Warkentin joined the Grainews team as machinery editor in 2020. Operating from his home in Landmark, Man., Travis works with agricultural equipment on a daily basis in his role as a farm manager. Writing for Grainews allows him to share his lifelong interest in farm machinery and “talking shop” with other farmers. He understands and improves the machines he operates, and is himself a fabricator. If Travis doesn’t know how something works, he will soon, and then he’ll likely know how it could work better. Travis is motivated by the notion that farm machinery and technology need to make sense and have the best interest of the farm in mind. Find him on Twitter @trav_grainews and Instagram at trav_grainews, or email him at twarkentin@farmmedia.com. You can also get in touch with Travis during the show by searching in "Who's Here" and sending a meeting or connection request.
