' This special television presen
tation analyzes the current
agricultural situation and
examines the difficulties facing
young people who want to farm.
This is the second year an
Agriculture Week television
special has been broadcast,
presented by Elanco Products
Company. Besides Elanco’s
Treflan and Surflan herbicides, it
is co-sponsored by The American
Bankers Association, Ford Motor
Corporation (trucks) and Ford
Tractor, FMC Corporation,
Stauffer Chemical Company,
Dekalb-Pfizer Genetics and Lava
soap.
In addition to being seen in this
area, “Who Will Farm The Land?”
will air on about 140 other com
mercial television stations in 32
states.
The idea behind “Who Will
Farm Hie Land?” was inspired by
farmers themselves. After
Elanco’s first television special,
“Prosperity In The Balance”,
aired for Agriculture Day 1982,
research groups of some 50 far
mers and spouses from across the
country were interviewed, i
“Prosperity In The Balance”
met with an enthusiastic response;
farmers said they wanted more
agricultural programming, and
suggested that for 1983 the
program focus on the difficult

times facing agriculture to show
consumers what farming is “really
like”. The focus was narrowed to
the difficulties facing young people
whose dream it is to farm.
Three young farmers with in
teresting (and sometimes unusual)
stories tell how they got started:
Ken Smith, 31, Hartley, la.; Greg
Krush, 21, Kershey, Colo.; and
George Clemmer, 21, Mosheim,
Tn. Krush and Clemmer were
awarded the “star farmer”
designation for their respective
regions' at the 1982 national FFA
convention in Kansas City.

“Growers have a number of
options for controlling these weeds
on diverted acres, including many
herbicide choices. But cost may be
a deciding factor in some cases.
“We’re recommending a
program which we feel will do a
good job of reducing weed
populations, and is very cost ef

Besides relating to the deep
seated feelings about agriculture
on the part of these dedicated
young farmers, farm people are
also likely to find themselves
nodding in agreement during the
program segment in which the
experts comment on the
tremendous value American
consumers receive for their food
dollar.
“We’re proud to produce a
television special for National
Agriculture Week again this
year,” says Robert M. Book, group
vice president, Elanco Products
Company. “It’s important to focus
national attention on agriculture
and build public support of our
industry.”

should be mowed off when it
reaches three to four feet tall
before it goes to seed. It’ll need to
be mowed off a second time in the
fall to prevent seed set. The weeds
won’t grow through, so they’ll be
set back considerably.
“The cover can be plowed down
or used as a no-till mulch next
season,’’ suggests Hartwig. If a
grower has no perennial weeds, he
suggests seeding hairy vetch or
red clover.
