ligher expected marketing
lumbers through the remainder of
jie year and increased feed costs
lue to both PIK and the drought.
As far as hog numbers are
xmcemed, marketings are still
expected to be up some 10 percent
through the remainder of the year.
To combat the pork glut, producers
have been urged to market at
lighter weights and then cut back
on breeding herd size.
And, while some effects of PIK
and the drought have already been
felt, noone really knows yet what
the full effects will be. Those will
have to await harvest.
This year, farmers may finally
find out how accurate those
billions-of-bushels figures that the
USDA throws around really are.
As Payment-In-Kind payoffs are
made, it may finally be known how
much com there really is in
storage. And when the combines
get in the fields - or stay out
because of the drought - there may
be a better idea of just what this
year’s yields may be.
So, with this extra amount of
uncertainty facing hog finishers
(and other livestock operators as
well), is it any wonder that any
favorable market sign will be
welcomed.

THE AERODRY.COMPUTERIZED
GRAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM...
Grain drying with
a difference
Dozens of grain growers throughout the
area have discovered the AeroDry difference
over conventional heat drying systems.
They’re making more money from their dry
ing operation for four key reasons:
Tremendous Energy Savings
The AeroDry System
uses a unique fan and
bin floor set-up to dry
grain. It’s computer
controlled for maxi
mum efficiency.
Since no gas is used,
no heat of any kind,
energy costs are 25%
of conventional heat dryers.

The Larvadex revocation or
dered by the Environmental
Protection Agency went into effect
on August 19. A number of states
with emergency exemption to use
the larvacide were told to halt all
shipments, sales and use as a
poultry feed additive.
Meat and eggs from poultry fed
as the primary reason by company
officials.
Similar problems were recently with the EPA concerning the
experienced at A and Bin Allen- review of Larvadex. It had

Reduced Shrink Loss
No heat means less damage in drying the
grain. You get heavier corn with over 50%
less shrinkage than heat drying, that means
more grain in your bin.
Better Grain Quality
With AeroDry drying, grain isn’t cracked or
damaged by heat. More natural starches,
sugars and other nutrients are retained for
better feed quality and higher test weights.
Tax Benefits
AeroDry Systems qualify for up to a 15%
energy credit in the form of an investment
tax credit. Added to the 10% grain storage
investment credit, that’s a total credit of 25%
The AeroDry System can be installed in any
new or existing bin up to 16 feet high. If
you’re drying grain, or selling to the eleva
tor, you can’t afford not to see an AeroDry
System. Please call or mail in the coupon
and we’ll send information and arrange a
demonstration. Put the AeroDry difference
to work for you.

Larvadex could be used, as well as
material already in feed bins. But
no new formulations could be
made.
The EPA listed its reason that
one of the elements of Larvadex
may be a possible carcinogen.
State veterinary officials
stressed that the suspected
element was not new and any
possible residues would be
miniscule.
