Save Ihe stover
If jOu’re turning crop trash under, there’s a good chance it
could be a lot more valuable as feed And with a HESSTON
StakHand® in your choice of three sizes you can put
up stover in compressed, weather-resistant stacks just as
easily as you'd put up hay Yes, corn wheat miloand
other stubble can be turned into pounds of beef or milk
gained instead of pounds of crop trash turned under So
see us about StakHand in stover right away And
remember, there's no better way to handle hay than with
