Sire Power lab announces
TUNKHANNOCK - Sire Power
recently announced the success
with which their lab personnel met
the challenge of increased
distribution this past year. This
past year the lab sent out 1.4
million units, 200,000 more units
than last year’s record.
Production this past year
reached a peak of 1.7 million units.
The lab handled a grand total of 3.1
million units in 84-85 or 12,400 units
per day.
The additional production this
past year required the addition of I
more storage space. This was
remedied by the purchase of two
lazy susan nitrogen tanks. Each
tank holds approximately 78,000
units.
A machine that inserts five
straws per goblet was also pur
chased. This will serve as a backup
to their present machine.
A fluorometer was added to their
lineup of machines that further
enable them to better serve the
farmer. This machine measures a
quanity of fluorescent light. The
fluorescent light binds to the DNA
within the sperm head, and
provides them with a check on the

and marketing expansions
TUNKHANNOCK - Sire Power
is presently in the process of ex
panding their existing sire barns.
This expansion is deemed
necessary to meet loqg term goals
of maintaining a strong sire line
up.
The Valley View Complex has
five completed sire barns, with the
sixth one scheduled for completion
in 1986. This will provide housing
for 240 bulls at the Valley View
Farm. This combined with the 180
bulls at the Tunkhannock facilities
will enable Sire Power to house 420
bulls.
Sire Power was also involved in
expansion on their marketing
branch. U.S. Genes is the Sire
Power representative in the
Western United States. They will
be the marketing arm for Sire
Power across the U.S.

The lab at Sire Power is also
doing some extensive fertility
research on their bulls. This
research has as its base prior
research dealing with the
acrosome reaction of bull sperm.
With the acrosome reaction in
formation, they can predict the
bull’s fertility before the nonreturn
rate information on 500 services is
processed.
The lab marked the first an
niversary of the x-ray program
with tremendous success. This
program has enabled their
technicians to improve their ef
ficiencies as well as that of those
who breed their own cows.
After each insemination the x
ray is developed and examined.
The point of deposit is readily
identified and can be adjusted
prior to the next insemination. This
process is repeated with numerous
tracts until satisfactory results are
achieved.
Each of these new techniques
and systems have been in
corporated to existing efficient
systems to better serve the far

New Gefi! ±orage box cuts unloading time
WEST BEND, WI - Gehl
Company’s new Model 970 self
unloading fo...ge box features an
Even-Flow third beater and a
newly-designed cross conveyor.
They combine to significantly
reduce unloading time.
The third beater breaks up
clumps of material for faster and
smoother delivery into the forage
blower, says Terry LeFever, Gehl
Forage Machinery Product
Manager. “And to match the
capacity of the beaters, the wide
23Vfe-inch cross conveyor, with No.
50 roller chain and heavy-duty
slats, keeps material moving
fast.”
According to LeFever, “These
new design features help a farmer
get as much as 20 percent faster
unloading speed. And the 970 s are
very economical-in fact, you won’t
find a forage box will all these
features at a lower price
anywhere.”
The 970 s feature a quick two
speed worm gear drive system,
with N. 50 roller chains. Other
standard features include a 667 H
pintle bed chain; a master safety
clutch redesigned for easy reset;
rear sprockets and take-up bracket
located inside the box for easy
access; and a metal main sill
extension to provide extra support
for the cross conveyor.
The sides, panels and endgate
are made of corrosion-resistant
steel. Upright stakes are made of

became reality this New Year’s
Day as the Deutz-AUis dealer
organization gathered new
strength. January 1, 1986 marked
the official day that 385 Deutz-Fahr
dealers joined ranks with 1,080
former Allis-Chalmers dealers,
shaping a new network ot 1,465
Deutz-Allis dealers.
“It was our firm commitment to
bring the two organizations
together by this date”, said Roy
Uelner, Deutz-Allis president.
“Our goal was one company, one
dealer organization, one sales and
service team, and one product line
to further solidify our position in
the marketplace. We ac
complished that by our target
date.”
Preparations for merging the
two companies and corresponding
dealer groups have been underway
for the last several months. The
two product lines have been fully
integrated into one, highlighting
many new products, including the
Model 385 Planter, new compact
and farm tractors, new R-Series
rotary Gleaner combines, and for
most dealers, a complete new line
of haying equipment.
Consolidation of parts support
has also been completed, providing
dealers access to all parts through
one distribution system. Seven
DEKALB releases two new hybrids
DEKALB, IL. - Two new early
com hybrids, DK4IS and DK435,
have been released by DEKALB
PFIZEk GENETICS for farmer
use in 1986.
“We’re excited by the potential
these new releases represent, both
in meeting the needs of farmers for
90-95 day hybrids, and in
strengthening our product line,”
states Kent Schulze, Senior Vice
President for the company. “We
offer these products only after
through testing and evaluation of
research and performance data. ’ ’
The final tests were on-farm
FACT plots in 1985. “Evaluation of
1985 performance results of the two
hybrids verified our early en
thusiasm,” Schulze continues.
“For this reason, we are in
troducing DK4IS and KF435 in
sufficient volume for widespread
use by northern farmers in 1986.”
The two hybrids represent an
impressive addition to DEKAIJ3-
PFIZER’s product line. Their

LeFever points out that the steel
used in construction of the 970 s is
superior to hot dipped galvanized,

galvanized and aluminized steels.
Even when scrathed, there is little
chance to rust.
“To show how much confidence
we have in the construction, Gehl

strategically located, and in

operations in Batavia, IL and
Independence, MO. All customer
service and order entry functions
have been centralized in Batavia
for greater convenience and ef
ficiency. Whether a customer
needs a part for older Deutz or A-C
equipment, that part is now
available through one modern
distribution system.
Besides parts support, the in :
tegration of product lines also'
requires extensive service
training for new and unfamiliar
products. Service personnel at
both company and dealer levels
will attend service training schools
in mid-January in eight cities
throughout North America. This is
an aggressive program that, when
completed, will produce over
30,000 individual manhours, of
training received by participants.
The entire service organization is
in place and the warranty system
has been centralized at the
headquarters office in Milwaukee.

also have one source for financial

As part of the development of
organizational restructuring, Ray
Dague, vice-president of
marketing, has announced three

“We are poised and ready for
action”, said Uelner. “We’ve made
great strides in a short time frame,
toward the orderly transformation
of two great organizations into one
that has the strength and deter

equipment market. And the con
