THE BRADY 630 FLAIL WINDROWER - THE
NEW LOW-COST WAY TO HARVEST STOVER,
CORN OR MILO STALKS FOR VALUABLE
CATTLE FEED OR BEDDING.
The Brady 630 Stover Saver Wmdrower cuts a 14 foot swath
(six 30-inch rows or four 40 inch rows) and lays dow n a uniform
windrow Use your forage harvester, conventional baler, large
round baler or stack wagon to pick up windrow for fast, high
capacity harvesting of corn or milo stalks
Follow right behind the combine or other grain harvesting
operation to put four wide or six narrow rows into a windrow
Pick it up with your forage harvester for a nutritious, ensilable
feed for cows or a grow mg ration tor young stock
For fast harvesting of low cost cattle feed or bedding, windrow
the dry stalks and bale with your conventional baler or big
round baler—or make stacks over twice as fast with your stack
wagon

In addition to tuning up her
1972 Ford Maverick, the
York County girl has
repaired a headlight on it,
cleaned the engine using a
commercial engine cleaner
and a garden hose, rotated
the tires and changed the oil.
Mundis described herself
as “a city girl who never
dreamed of being a 4-H
member” and said she not
realizes the unpact 4-H has
had on her life.

mg on the auger increases capacity, delivering the material to
the center for discharge through the adjustable windrow
forming doors The shape of the windrow can be controlled—a
particularly important feature when using a large round baler
Use the Brady 630 as a stalk shredder by merely opening the
two hinged covers over the auger The cut material is then
discharged evenly onto the field from the rear of the machine
rather than into a windrow Shredded material improves crop
residue decomposition and subsequent tillage operations
Four wheels are standard equipment, adjustable for various
row spacing, to float the unit over uneven ground Operating
height may be controlled hydraulically

learning the basic parts and
functions of an auto. “I
became concerned about
what I wpuld do in case of an
emergency,” she said. “So I
continued the project and I
learned how to make safety
checks.”
Earlier this year she put
together a demonstration
entitled “Wheels” in which
she told how to buy and care
for an auto.
Last year, she led a 4-H
automotive hazard hunt and
parts identification project.
“Many people, even men,
could not locate the
hazardous items, such as
loose lug nuts, broked
windshiled wiper blades and
low radiators,” she said.
She was in charge of a
safety check lane at the
county 4-H Fair earlier this
year and again checked
autos for hazards. She also
arranged for her club to
make a local auto hazard
check, with fines being
unposed against those who
didn’t pass. The fme money
went into the 4-H Center
Maintenance Fund.

Soybean growers
support duty-free
ST. LOUIS, Mo - United
States soybean growers are
supporting a bill that would
eliminate for two years an 18
percent duty on railroad
hopper cars imported from
Mexico and Canada.
H.R. 3046, written by
Representatives Fithian and
Vander Jagt, was introduced
recently into a House trade
subcommittee. More
recenlty, a similar bill was
introduced by Senator Lloyd
Bentsen into the Senate
Finance Committee.
“Because of the size of the
1979 U.S. soybean crop,
coupled with a record U.S.
com crop, the American
Soybean Association is
concerned that U.S.
railroads will be unable to
move U.S. soybeans to the
ports in time to meet the
needs of our international
customers,” said ASA
President Allan Aves.
“Much of the lack of U.S.
rail capacity can be traced
directly to a shortage of
hopper cars needed to move
soybeans and grain to the
ports.”
In a letter to the bills’
strongest critic,
Representative Daniel
Rostenkowski, Aves said,
“At the present, domestic
manufacturers of rail cars
are operating at full
capacity, but there is still a
backlog of 130,000 rail cars
on order.
“Even without additional
orders it will take at least
two years to meet the
current demand for rail
cars. Access to additional
rail
cars
rail cars is vitally important
to agriculture’s tran
sportation needs.”
Manufacturers in Canada
and Mexico have the com
bined capacity to ship up to
12,000 hopper and gondola
cars to the U.S. over the next
two years.
“The current 18 percent ad
valorem duty charged on
such rail cars makes it
uneconomical to import the
Mexican and Canadian cars
into the United States,” Aves
said.
Passage of H.R. 3046
would eliminate this in
flationary and unnecessary
tariff and allow domestic
railroads to afford to import
the needed cars from Mexico
and Canada. In turn, the
additional cars would help to
alleviate a very serio
situation in the agricultural
sector,” he said.
Concert from domestic
rail cars manufacturers that
importation of rail cars will
have a serious impact on
their industry and American
workers is unfounded ac
cording to Aves.
“There is no indication
that removal of the import
duty would have any
negative impact on U.S.
manufacturers or American
workers.” he said.
“Since over 50 percent of
the components of the im
ported cars would be
American-made, there is
every reason to believe that
a lifting of the duty would
generate increased domestic
manufacturing and em
ployment,” he said.
