offset by the warm air,
reducing drying time. The
dryer runs on propane
costing 47 to 55 cents a
gallon.
Soybean harvest in
terrupts when the beans
reach 15 per cent moisture.
Outdoor air is blown over
them in the bin for drying.
Then corn is finished by
about Thanksgiving, with
moisture around 20 per cent
The care top dairymen
always give their herds
now is directed by the
Manners to their hilly, clay
loam cropland, which is
broken into 10 parcels
Regardless whether
regular or wary com is
planned for a spot, they get
ready in spring by plowing
down 500 pounds per acre of
27-0-17 fertilizer About half
the land is moldboard
plowed, especially where
thej ’re rotating from hay or
soybeans. For speed, about
half is chisel plowed.
“A couple of rocky fields
are left in no-till, par

off early,” Gregory says.
“With fuel prices soaring,
we may use more no till m
fields without grass
problems. Other fields
require harrowing or a
cultimulcher so that later at
planting we”ll be able to
incorporate Aatrex and
Sutan herbicides with a
disk.”
That tank mix is carried in
a couple 210-gallon saddle
tanks alongside their
tractor At planting they add
starter fertilizer - 200
pounds per acre of 7-27-11
plus some micronutrients -
in a channel two mches down
and two mches to one side of
the seed row. For rootworm,
they spread Dyfonate at
planting m a seven-mch
band over the row.
They plant 21,900 seeds an
acre in 38-inch rows “If wet
spots don’t emerge with
conventional planting, we
replant no till,” Gregory
points out. “It saves ripping
it up again. When we plant
no till, we add 1000 pounds of
tractors weights to the
planter for more muscle in

Of course, weights and
tractors are what first
brought him to the attention
of many neighbors
In four years, he’s won 70
trophies with two alcohol
fuel-mjected, 400-cubic-inch
Dodge engines mounted on a
Case 830 transmission and
rear end. He’s received top
awards in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey.
But his mam arena is the
Buck, Pa., Tractor Pull
where he runs every
Saturday night of the May-
September circuit.
Three of the four years
he’s competed there, he’s
been the first, second, or
third total-point leader m the
7000-pound modified and
9000-point open classes.
