Farmer, the tool you need is the Ag-Bagger. No other silage storer can you profit from by doing custom work Ag Bag Machine more than pays for itself. Look around and talk to your neighbors. Farmers with more than one farm having the Ag-Bagger do not have to haul feed back and forth from farm to farm. Place bags anywhere you please.

Ag-Bag System “It's in the 6%” is more than a catch-word on the Flynn farm. The Flynn brothers, Gene, Tom and Adrian, use a two-ply plastic bagging system, called the Ag-Bag, to ~ store haylage and silage. Advantages of the bag system. Several plus factors are cited for this bagging system, it is effective, econ omical and helps the dairy man get maximum utilization from forage crops. Mix rations as you feed.

Lititz, PA 17543 The Silver Spotted Skipper, now in hibernation, emerges in spring and feeds on one of Maryland’s top cash crops - soybeans. Although it is a relatively new pest to Maryland soybeans, pest management specialists estimate the Silver Spotted Skipper can defoliate up to 30 or 40 percent of a soybean field. According to Carolyn B. Brooks of the Soybean Research Institute, scientists last summer collected the Insect larvae from soybean fields and examined bacteria and other organisms found on the Silver Spotted Skipper. They believe that, of the 10 dif ferent organisms they’ve isolated, at least me can be used to make the insect sick, says Brooks. If that is so, the organism that gives the Skipper “the bug” could be multiplied in the laboratory and sprayed on a soybean field when a pest outbreak is imminent, ac cording to Brooks.
