THANK YOU, Tuesday March 26 at 9am - Final Prep for Point Processing and Storage Closure
by Alina Skorobohatova 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

The following is being sent on behalf of Curt McCartney: _____________________ I would like to thank everyone who came this morning to move equipment out of the Point seed processing rooms. This was a success, and we were able to move the big items into grain drying room. We will now have access this equipment without any restrictions over the summer. Mel will be taking down the blue and orange metal seed storage shelves later today. He will need some help with this, so he will be reaching out to people for assistance. Please help out if you can. Thanks again, Curt

Please mark your calendars for Tuesday March 26th at 9 am and plan to have at least one member from each lab group that works at the Point participate. We will start with a brief planning meeting in the Point coffee room to get organized into teams for specific tasks and to coordinate our efforts for the day. Yvonne Lawley Action Items to Prepare for March 31 facility closure By March 15 · Remove all seed and containers from the blue and orange metal shelving units in the seed storage room By March 22 · Techs from each program to pull out samples and seed bins from seed storage and drying area and move into SeaCan or Glenlea storage. · Large storage containers from drying room moved to processing room or seed storage area. · Finish sample processing and bag cleaning so that equipment can be moved · Created an inventory list of processing equipment and place labels on equipment By March 31 · Equipment on wheels moved to designated area within processing room. · Heavy equipment that is hard to move is moved into the drying room · Blue and orange metal shelving units will be dismantled with components stored in the seed storage building near the overhead door. * -- Dr. Yvonne Lawley Associate Professor of Agronomy and Cropping Systems Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba 222 Agriculture Building 66 Dafoe Rd Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2 (Tel) 204-474-6504 (Fax) 204-474-7528 yvonne_lawley(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:yvonne_lawley@umanitoba.ca>
