doesn’t stop here.

who needs them?
Quality roughage alone can provide much of the protein and energy
needed for milk production. But since roughages may lack both balance
and quantity of minerals necessary for maximum milk production,
bone and muscle development, and the most efficient utilization of
other nutrients—many dairymen need a mineral supplement program.
How can you tell if you need
a mineral supplement program?
Let us make a free analysis of your forage crops. We'll give you a report
on the nutrient value of your hay, silage, or other roughages, along
with recommendations for any supplements—if, necessary. We won't
try to sell you anything you don't need!
Our three mineral mixes—Beacon Phos-Min, Beacon Mineral Ade and
Beacon Cal-Min—are formulated by highly respected dairy nutrition
specialists. The supplement they recommend will contain the necessary
minerals to make up deficiencies or imbalance in your roughages and to
achieve the proper calcium-phosphorus ratio in your total feeding
program.
You can rest assured that you aren't paying extra for exotic ingredients,
high transportation cost, and expensive promotion and sales cost.
With BEACON, you get
more mineral units per dollar invested.
Mineral supplements, formulated especially for the cow at reasonable
cost, are part of what we call "No nonsfense feeding".

demonstrate an applica>>on of
advanced remote sensing and
geographical information systems
technology in support of farm level
land use decision-making."
A model, known as a Universal
Soil Loss Equation model, will be
developed and implemented on an
information system drawn by a
micro computer for use in con
versation with farmers.
According to Tom Johnston,
District administrator, the com
puter would probably be placed in
the conservation office for easy
access.
The system draws upon a digital
data base derived from satellite
and other other secondary data
sources. The farmer then can type
in information about his farm and
the system will draw upon pre
recorded files of geo-referenced
(pictures taken from the satellite)
data to determine the impact of a
particular land-use decision.
Results can be reached
describing the estimated soil loss,
vegetative cover, estimated
change in yield, and therefore
possible income changes due to
this change. Graphical and
narrative summaries are also
produced.
According to Brand, the project
will be the first of its type to be
used in the United States.
“There are several other states
which are currently using projects
similar in nature, but these
projects are mostly for natural
resource planning,” he said.

GMS...OVER 2.5 MILLION
COWS MATED
Turkey Hill dairy operation, own
ed by the Frey family, runs more
than 500 Holsteins through their
milking lineup three times per day.
Herdsman Bill McCarty is looking to
improve overall type in the herd, particularly feet and legs,
through the ABS GMS program.
“The cattle are on concrete, so we definitely want to work on
correct feet and leg traits while also using bulls only over
+ 1.400 M and + .01 or better for type," explains Bill.
ABS’ Genetic Mating Service is an important part of
thousands of successful dairy breeding programs. First and
second choice mating sire recommendations are suggested
for your cows based upon their individual strengths and
weaknesses.
Let GMS benefit your breeding program as it has for this area
dairyman. Contact your nearest ABS Representative.

chosen for the project because of
its high fanning reputation and
because there are several areas
which would merit the need for
such a system.
The actual choice of Chickies
Creek Watershed, according to
Brand, came from the District.
“Chickies was picked because of
its erosion problems and soil loss,”
he said.
Where the director and the
District will seek funding next, is
not known at this time, but the
board’s interest will remain if their
vote Wednesday night is any in
dication of their interest.
In other business, the Board
moved to support the Farmers
Home Administration in their new
Full Time Family Farmer and
Rancher Program.
The nationwide program is
designed to insure a continuing
supply of full time farmers with
help from established committees
and a group of ag-community
members who would serve as
advisors for the chosen beginning
farmer. For more information on
the project, see page AlB.
Also, the Board decided to look
further into the possibilities of
procuring funding for the Lan
caster County Conservation
District. In discussion and support
of the proposed idea, Amos Funk,
vice chairman of the Board, read
and described a New Jersey law
which establishes that state’s
conservation district’s methods of
receiving funds.
