fective Aug. 6, meat and poultry
'processors will have increased
flexibility m the placement, of
official establishment numbers on
their products.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture assigns the
establishment/number to help
federal and public health officials
indentify the source of products,
said Donald L. Houston,' ad
ministrator of USDA’s Pood Safety
and Inspection Service. “The new
regulation will also make it less
confusing for consumers to find the

The many benefits of
high moisture com are ,
all well known these days:
No dryer costs, reduced
shrinkage, less labor, less
grain damage, fewer field
losses, fewer bad weather
problems —and a
great feed!
And the only way to
process high-moisture
com most effectively is
with a Madison Grain-O-
Matic® Here’s why:
The light gray color of
the Vibra-Cor® staves
reflect direct sun ray heat
V/i times better than the
dark color used by others!
These thicker truss-beam
■design staves also provide
superior insulation value.

USDA gives meat, poultry processors more flexibility
product,” he said.
"Current requirements differ
considerably for various meat and
poultry products,” Houston said.
“The revision will assure identical,
simplified requirements for all
processors.”
Under the action, meat and
poultry operators will have four
options for the placement of an
official establishment number;
—Within the official inspection
mark;
—Outside the inspection mark
but elsewhere on the extenor of the
container or its labeling for
example, the lid of a can;

Thus gases in the Grain-
O-Matic® structure
expand and contract much
less than in a steel struc
ture. Inside pressure is
regulated by a precision
vacuum and pressure
valve. Every structure is
air-pressure tested by
experienced Madison
crews. Result: Better feed
and no breather bags, so
you can fill clear to the top
of the structure with nutri
tion packed high-moisture
grain. And you also get the
Madison/Laidig bottom
unloader that provides
fast, positive delivery day
after day for a long,
long time.
