    INTRODUCING
PRO DRY.
Forage Drying Agent
Cuts up to a full day
off forage drying time
Faster drying means higher quality
forage, and less chance of ram damage
Field drying rates (drying constants) and
dry matter losses for alfalfa

feather when you can harvest quicker
I with Pro Dry”
You know the uncertainties of haying in
' the Northeast You cut, wait and pray And
chances are good that in the two, three or
even four days needed to field dry your hay,
the rams will come. Even 1" of ram robs
your hay of $ll per ton m nutrient value
And a heavy continuous ram will spoil your
entire crop
Of course you can’t control the weather
But you can take control of your hay drying
time with new Pro Dry. Pro Dry dries hay
faster, and enables you to bale sooner,
usually a full day faster than the time need
ed for normal field drying. No other drying
agent can beat the performance of Pro Dry,
because Pro Dry contains the two active in
gredients proven to be the most effective
and economical m speeding drying time
and preserving dry matter (see chart)

FIELD FRESH.
High Moisture Preservative
Recovers up to
15% more feed value
from your forage harvest
The longer your hay lies drying
in your field, the more dry matter
disappears through leaf shattering,
respiration and ram loss. But with
Field Fresh you can safely bale at
higher moistures (25% to 30%)
without risk of spoilage or fire.
Field Fresh contains a high per
centage of nature’s strongest hay
preserving agent. So it preserves
your forage better, longer and at
higher moistures than most other
products. Best of all, university
tests show that at 28% moisture,
Field Fresh treated hay recovered
14.8% more dry matter, and
produced more milk pound
for pound of dry matter than
field dried hay. And that
means Field Fresh can provide up
to 15% more feed of equal value from
your harvest.
