TAKE A TOUGH-BUILT. RED
BEDDING CHOPPER
FROM OUR TRUCK
And Put It To Work In Your Own Dairy Barn
When you have cows, you want them
to be comfortable and clean. And you
don’t want to spend your total milk
check to pay for bedding. That’s why in
the past several weeks, a growing
number of smart dairymen in Penn
sylvania have turned to the science
engineered red bedding chopper from
US Farm Systems of Pennsylvania.
While chopping bales of straw and old
hay into short lengths, this practical
machine fluffs the material into liquid
absorbent bedding that your farm
neighbors say uses a lot less straw. No
more saw dust to hold mastitus germs
under the cow. No more long straw to
shake out and ciog your liquid manure
system.
Designed for the modern dairy farm,
the tough-built red bedding chopper
eats full bales of straw and old hay with
ease.
terdon’s rural preservation
program as proposed by the
Freeholder-appointed task
force.
And blows out finely chopped bedding
onto the cows’ stalls right where you
want it. Powered by your choice of
electric or gasoline motor, the chopper
turns on a dime. You can move along a
row of free stalls or tie stalls fast
enough to be 70 cows in 20 minutes.
Blow bedding into calf pens or dry cow
box stalls.
With winter work here to cause you
extra bedding and manure handling
problems, be smart. Take a tough-built
red bedding chopper from our truck and
put it to work in your own dairy barn.

DEALER INQUIRIES INVITED
Buoyed by the two to one
affirmative vote on the
agricultural preservation
referendum in early
November, the Board of
Chosen Freeholders ex
tended the task force’s life
for an additional month,
requesting the 12-member
body to develop guidelines
for implementing the
program.
The group, chaired by
Julia Allen, avid proponent
of rural preservation in her
own Readmgton Township,
as well as, the state,
recognized all too well the
scope of the work to be done
and requested more tune.
The freeholders responded
by resolution extending the
term of the task force for six
months. The job ahead in
volves the development of
“detailed guidelines for the
operation of the county’s
rural preservation
program.” It means taking
those four general proposals
and getting down to
specifics.
-Just how will they be
implemented 9
Juba Allen is proposing to
her group on further

in New Jersey
research and study on the
four elements: agricultural
districting, easement
donations, assistance to
municipalities, and
easement purchases.
She will suggest sub
committees be assigned to
study each in more depth,
answering some of the
questions being raised, and
proposing guidelines for
implementation.
Professional assistance
has been offered the task
force by Sam Hamill,
Executive Director of the
Middlesex-Somerset-Mercer
Regional Study Council. Ms.
Linda Bentz, Associate
Director of M-S-M, will be
meeting with the task force
and its sub-committees.
She will be doing some of
the much needed research
and pulling together data for
the group She has been very
active with the state’s far
mland preservation study.
M-S-M staff served as
consultants to the State
Departments of
Agnculture/Environmental
Protection m developing
their program: “Grassroots
... an agricultural retention
and development program
for New Jersey.”
The county task force will
keep its eye on the state
program, which has recently
been presented to the
Governor and the Joint
Legislative Oversight
Committee.
As Julia Allen put it, “we’d

like our efforts to be in
concert as much as possible
with the state program.”
John VanZandt, Coor
dinator for the state
program has been keeping
us abreast of the prgress at
state level.
So, it is hoped that the
state and county programs
will complement each othei.
Also of interest, the County
Planning Board will soon be
working on the agricultural
element of its master plan.
They, too, will consider
county and state progress
toward strong
rural/agncultural preserv
ation programs.
Much is to be done these
next six months. Mrs Allen
suggests this to be an ex
cellent tune for inputs from
the community. Farmers,
land-owners, all county
residents, should bring their
ideas and suggestions to the
attention of task force
members.
It’s an important part of
the whole process .. a
process that hopefully will
result in an equitable
program that moves towaid
the goal of retaining our
farmland resources and
related features and
qualities of our countryside
for the years ahead.

Preservation Task Force,
