A Year Around Controlled “Ideal” Environment
Your barn will always be a healthier place for
your animals with Rigidply rafter construction.
For Free Stall Housing continuous ventilation is
assured by a ventilator roof and air flow always
available through the heel. This flexibility allows
proper ventilation for all seasons with a min
imum amount of condensation. The flexibility of
the arch extends also to construction; often the
arch and wood decking system will permit con
struction to continue into peak winter months.

Plus atrazine.
> ~ ■~Z<Z- $y
Apply Lasso plus atrazme tank mix as you plant, or after planting, before
corn or weeds come up with or without liquid fertilizers
Either way, you can plant as soon as your seedbed’s ready- and still
get the early grass and broadleaf control you need
What's more, your herbicide goes on when the seedbed’s in ideal
condition for herbicide application
