He also pointed out that he, himself a farmer, has ex perienced delays in ob taining shipment of required shields from the manufac turer. “It would seem,” wrote Hance to OSHA, “that at this busy time of the year that a six-month extension of the deadline would be in order.” Commenting on the OSHA regulation Hance remarked that while, “there is a constant need for farmers to observe sensible safety becomes a very popular place for both young and old; however, it can be a dangerous place if swim mers and owner are reckless. We urge that owners provide rescue equipment at the pond at all time; this could include a wooden raft, a boat, ropes, wooden ladders, or other items that could be used to rescue someone in trouble in deep water. Keep them at the side of the pond for immediate use; to have to run and get one of the rescue pieces of equipment in the bam or garage might take too long and be too late in using. Swimmers should not be allowed to swim alone at any time. Pond owners are urged to stress pond safety measures at all times.

She is a factory not a mine. What you take out - you have to put back or you will lose the Queen. Today we want cows to average 14,000 - 25,000 lbs. of milk per year. Twenty-five years ago we were happy with cows that averaged 7,000 - 12,000 lbs. per year. So we can no longer take care of the queen like grandfather did.because we are taking twice as much away from her as he did. Therefore it's very important what and how much we put into her because the barrel is only so big and we've got to know what's going into that barrel. Feed the Agri-King Way Feed is Money...
