Shenk’s holds dairy meeting
During a meeting at the Tollgate inn in Lititz on June 14, Shenk's Farm Service, Lititz,
introduced several new products to local dairy farmers.
Beginning the program was Ray Shenk who demonstrated Bou-Matic’s new claw, a
new concept in milking designed to virtually eliminate cross-contamination and speed
the flow of milk.
Next on the program was Loren Bucklin, Shenk’s general manager, who unveiled the
Activity Monitor, a beltbuckle-size monitor strapped to the cow's leg and used to detect
the onset of estrus.
Also on display was the Custom Computer System introduced by Bou-matic district
manager Dennis Milhoan (pictured above), Loren Bucklin and Keith Kirn, vice-president
for a York-based computer firm.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. -
Before your combine rolls into the
field for the upcoming small grain
harvest, it’s a good idea to take a
few minutes to review safety rules,
according to Jerry Schmitt, Allis-
Chalmers engineer.
i !
‘Whether you operate the
combine yourself or hire someone
to do the job, I recommend that
you prepare a set of written safety
rules,” he said. “Safety always
pays off at harvest time.”
Schmitt named a few important
safety points:
1. Read and understand the
Operator’s Manual.
Before the harvest begins make sure all combine guards
and shields are in place.

2. Be sure everyone is clear of
the machine before starting it.
3. Be sure the gear shift lever is
in neutral before starting the
engine.
4. Always stop the engine when
refueling. Do not smoke when
filling tank.
5. Use handrails when getting on
or off. Do not get on or off your
combine while it is in motion.
6. Keep all guards and shields in
place.
7. Do not try to work on the
machine while it is running.
8. Keep the operator’s platform
