Fresh artichokes will squeak when rubbed against another one. m' t 5 QI « ei tl W; ram HEARD THE TALK. There’s a better way to dry grain. It’s called CHILLCURING ™ because it means CURING without heat. Here’s what the talk is all about. THE GRAIN Every kernel of gram is alive when it comes out of the field. It is a seed, able to grow because it has the ability to take on moisture. Likewise, it can be kept in a state of preservation by removing the moisture already in it. But by heating the gram to dry it, the seed life is destroyed. By removing heat and moisture from the gram, it becomes dormant, and stays alive Then it can ripen to full weight, losing only water while keeping valuable protein, starches and sugar. THE SYSTEM It’s simple. Grain goes from the field right to the bin. With the unique AIRFRAME'" and AIRFLOOR'" the gram rests on a solid bed that allows maximum ventilation. Clean dry air is the best curing medium for the gram. GRAINLAMPS™ provide electric sunshine, cleaning and drying the air beneath the floor, before it passes through the gram. Fans force air under the floor. Rising through the gram, this dry outside air carries away moisture and heat. At the peak of the bin a jumbo 40” turbine, the WHIRLCOOLER™, puts nature to work for you. Wind and rising air keeps it turning, venting the system naturally. A special HARVESTAT“ Control System monitors the curing process A simple setting controls the GRAINLAMPS™ to make use of free, natural air. THE FACTS l.You can’t beat Nature. HARVESTALL GRAIN CHILLCURING™ uses the same elements that ripen and preserve gram if left to itself: free flowing air and infra red rays (sunshine). S.CHILLCURING"' has been tried and proven in 17 states on over 3000 farms. The research is in: CHILLCURING™ WORKS! 3. The CHILLCURING™ system uses only the electricity to power fans and lights, using about IV2 KW hrs. per bushel. Compare that cost to other systems that use increasingly expensive fuels to-get disappointing results. 4. grain goes from the field to the bin and stays there till you need it.

FF A members are required to keep records on a crop or animal, a job or skills learned in school. The student maintains a record book for the entire calendar year, making entries for receipts and expenses, listing hours of labor and approved practices, and noting progress made. At the end of the year all projects are analyzed to determine how good a job the student has done on that particular project and why. Standard analysis factors such as bushels of corn per acre, pounds of milk per cow, number of dozen eggs per hen per year, etc. are used. Finally record books are scored within each County by the vocational agriculture teachers. Books are scored for income, level of efficiency attained, completeness, accuracy and neatness. Project record books provide students with a means of learning by doing. As agribusinessmen or farmers, FFA members will need to keep these kinds of records to operate ef ficiently and for tax pur poses.
