Film ready for showing
LANCASTER - The first
public showing of the 16 mm
film shot last Fall on Lan
caster County farms and
business locations is
scheduled next week at the
Pennsylvania Farm Show.
“For Silage Sake,” with a
full sound track, was filmed
on the farms of John Har
nish, Washington Boro, and
John L. Landis, 1801
Colebrook Road, and m the
computer room of Weaver’s
Poultry in New Holland.
Featuring new concepts in
oxygen-controlled crop and
feed storage in concrete
silos, the ISVz minute movie
explains how a silo works. It
features a computerized
pressure test now being used

Wheat prospects dim
Under the snow lie many bare fields that normally would
have a tinge of greeness. These were seeded to winter wheat
this past Fall in normally considered the right period for
proper seed germination and plant growth.
Winter came early and cold dry ground stopped wheat
plant growth. Many fields exhibited very little sign of wheat.
It follows then that the extreme cold will severely jeopordize
any real wheat production. Harvesting next July will
probably be slight.
Farmers will need to make some dramatic decisions on
those seeded acres. Shall they “cold sweat” it out? Re-work
soil and plant oats? Switch to com or soybeans?
Other Pennsylvania acres are in the same fix on the wheat
situation as well.
