tillage and fertility. Learn how and why the use or misuse of
different tillage tools can affect the profit or loss ot your farm.
Each tool has its own proper timing.
Properly managed soil is more productive of quality produce,
more independent of weather extremes, earlier and easier to
work, requires less fertilizer - more profitable.
Get better control of your farming enterprise.

was one plaque. Glenn
Sauder, echoed his pleasure
by calling the winnings
“overwhelming.”
Bennett explained that he
had spent about 6 weeks
checking producers to find
the best eggs and that they
had graded some 40-50 cases
o' eggs to get their final 10

grading eggs daily from 8:30
am. - 6:00 p.m."
The quality control officer
noted that the eggs arc
graded on weight, color,
shell texture, shape, and
condition.
Jay Irwin, associate
county agent in Lancaster,
noted that he had never seen
such high scores before.
Irwin explained that in
Sauder’s best 5-dozen eggs
the score had not been 100
percent because of non
uniformity in the color and in
the shape. .35 percent of a
point was taken off for this.
