C4—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 7,1984 Farm managers (Continued from Page C 3) of soil and water conservation. Peterson is the new president of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers. “I remember a ranch I once managed in Wyoming,” he says. “It has been overgrazed before I took it over. I worked with that ranch for 6 years and we still hadn’t gotten the native grass back to where it should be.” As a board member and former president of the Jefferson Soil Conservation District, Peterson knows a lot about soil and water conservation - and consults with Most Advanced Feed Management System OnThe Mitlriket fb * 1 to Steed period* programable per diy withcarry over within the food maximum intake by animal per visit to a feeder - helps maintain a uniform pH iff cows rumen. ♦ Keyboard lock-out to prevent ' unauthorized persons from - tampering with system. » Large, multi-function keys are oasy to use and read.Eachkey makes an audible sound when depressed. • Cow number is assigned Ipa lag number allowing manager to use numbers which are familiar to hfm. i rtnn local conservation districts wherever he manages farms. In Missouri, farm manager Joe Harris II says he looks on soil conservation favorably not only from a sound economic and in vestment standpoint, but also because “it makes good sense. If the soil is eroded, it hurts the client, it hurts us.” Harris works for Doane Farm Management Co., whose vice president, Joel A. McNeill, calls himself a conservationist. To McNeill, the whole mood of the country has changed since the seventies. “People today are talking about •ci a ,cf&ig;b.4ftpower sources to the feed nt\£Bu&r are, safe 24 vojt AC.

Participation in conservation programs is voluntary. “It’s encouraging,” said Myers, “to see so many farm managers speak out strongly for con servation. In this coming year, we plan to step up our efforts to work them. Many local conservation districts and soil conservationists already are making extra efforts Howard Martin Refrigeration 717*26-6355 Ans.Serv. 717-733-1224 (Sons Wftt **&**&# 717-354-4955 AflfitfHi* 7X7-867-5143 Draw On Us For Free \ Hot Water ,| The Zero I „ Super Saver I v uses the heat | removed by your : refrigeration system to make you money.
