limited staffing, no special
presentations or tours guided by

Game Commission personnel

smaller groups are better for

How could you more naturally approach “hand-planting” population control
than with the exclusive John Deere finger-pickup mechanism? Each finger
selects an individual kernel of corn (any size) and gently transports it to
just above the waiting seedbed. From there it’s a short, natural-gravity drop
to the seed trench. Bouncing and rolling are minimized. For even more con
trol, check John Deere Compaction runners. They form a V-shaped trench
that tends to trap seed at optimum depth. Stop in soon for more details.

some discussion and then it was
suggested that the secretary send
