By far, the lowest cost feeder-bunk
combination you can buy. This rugged
all-in-one Van Dale shaker feeder
costs as little as $23 a foot plus in
stallation. Expert engineering allows
silage to be delivered up to 102 feet
with only a 3 H.P. motor. You save
added dollars through lower main
tenance because its unique design
virtually eliminates moving parts (no
auger, feeder chain or belt).

vironmental Assistance Program
(REAP) at a funding level of $l4O
million. Subsequent legislation
could change the level of the final
1972 program allocations.
The Rural Environmental
Assistance Program helps far
mers to carry out needed con
servation and environmental
protection measures on their
farms with costs shared by the
federal government. Major
emphasis in the new program is
placed- on long-range preser
vation of the environment, and on
practices which will return more
benefits to the public at less
public cost, Hardin said.
The Rural Environmental
- Assistance Program is ad
ministered by the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Service through its farmer
elected committee system. The
Soil Conservation Service, Forest
Service and Extension Service
provide technical and
educational assistance.
Consistent with the report of
the House Committee on Ap
propriations, the 1972 program
will make provision for con
tinuation of 1970 program
practices and procedures as such
need may be determined by
county committees.
Emphasis will continue in 1972
on cost-sharing measures that
result in enduring conservation
benefits, and on redirecting the
program toward environmental
improvement. High priority will
be given, as it is in the 1971
program, to those practices that
offer;
Significant pollution
abatement, particularly
sediment.
—Substantial improvement
in the quality of the en
vironment.

priority practices in some areas:
Establishing permanent stands
of grass or legume cover to hold
soil in place and allow maximum
msoak of rainfall without runoff;
animal waste management
practices that prevent or correct
water, air or land pollution
problems in and ground farm
livestock and poultry barns; and
building ponds, diversion terrace
detentions or other structures to
control sediment or chemical
runoff He noted that sediment is
still the number one pollutant of
water in streams and lakes from
the standpoint of volume.
The 1972 REAP will give a
lower priority to temporary or
short-term practices.

shielded under the feeder. There's
no feeder like it for handling such a
total variety of feeds ... including
baled hay. Build any length feeder
with 10' sections and using a drive
unit every 102 feet. Van Dale’s low
cost quality will make your non-stop
feeding a stainless steal.
