AlB-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 7,1985
STATE COLLEGE - With 189
entries in this year’s Hay and Hay
Crop Silage Show at Ag Progress
Days, show chairman Sid
Bosworth was well pleased with
the turnout.
The 1985 contest featured a
change in format, with champions
named iij each of three hay
categories. In previous years only
a single grand champion had been
named. In the hay crop silage
event, however, both a grand and
reserve champion were
recognized.
“The competition was tough, and
we had some very good samples,”
noted Bosworth, adding that the
number of entries nearly doubled
over last year’s field.
Bosworth encouraged interested
farmers to contact their county
extension office a few weeks prior
to next year’s show for contest
details. Following are show
results:
Surface drive
Reliable Feeding
Hard-packed and frozen silage makes feeding
more than a routine chore.
Patz gives you two solutions to the problem the
RD-820 ring-drive silo unloader and the 988
surface-drive silo unloader. Both have a double
hook gathering chain with hardened steel cutters
and claws that cut through frozen and packed
silage.
• Spring-tensioned powered cutter keeps silo
walls free of buildup.
• Preset depth-of-cut control makes feeding
truly automatic (98B).
• Powerful blowers with adjustable impeller
blades do the job.
We'll show you how to get the most performance
for your money.
