of the system.
“It’s pretty simple,” he comments, “as far as getting ready to milk, and wash
up are concerned. It’s quick and easy Also this 800 gallon round Sunset tank
takes up only about the same space as my old 450 gallon square tank.”
Tom also says, “the Agway installation and service crews are very efficient, and
after installation, the servicemen were always prompt in handling any question
or problems that came up.”

poultry manure would not
only help alleviate the
pollution problems caused
by mis-management of these
wastes, but could lower the
cost of feeding lambs,
making lambs more
economical to raise.
Dried poultry manure has
not been approved for
commercial use by the Food
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 2,1975—9
and Drug Administration.
Approval will be needed
before these wastes may be
used as a feed supplement.
