Machine Protects Nutritional Value Of Hay Crop New said, adding, “It you’re going to make round bales, you have to have a way to store them.” “What it appears to be doing, we’ve needed desperately,” manufacturing representative Dick Griffith said. “It’s quite an improvement.” Manufactured and perfected in Europe, the new machine works right in the field. A lifting arm picks up the bale and gently places it onto a specially-designed turn table and dual roller platform. Stretch film is tucked into the bale or under a string. The rollers then slowly turn the bale as the turntable rotates, tightly wrapping the bale with film. When com pletely covered, the film is cut and tucked in and the turntable raised to roll off the bale. Designed for one-man operation, all SilaWrap functions are hydrostatically controlled. A single bale can be wrapped in 50 seconds at a cost of approximately $3 per bale. One man can wrap 50 flushes the entire milking cluster, as well as the inflations. To prevent solution from entering the pipeline, a milk hose shut-off valve is required. The one-time used sanitizing solution is safely discharged through the inflations to the drain.

Farm Credit Board Rejects liquidation McLEAN, Va. - The Farm Credit Administration Board has rejected a plan by the Amarillo Production Credit Association to voluntarily liquidate and withdraw from the nationwide cooperative Farm Credit System. According to FCA Board Chairman Frank W. Naylor, Jr., “Allowing the Amarillo association to liquidate and withdraw at this time would set a precedent that could jeopardize the financial reliability of the Tenth Farm Credit District and perhaps the entire Farm Credit System.” The FCA Board was particularly concerned about the impact a withdrawal would have on the implementation of the Farm Credit Amendments Act of 1985. Chairman Naylor also stated, "If the Amarillo association were to withdraw, it would frustrate the plan Congress devised to solve the System’s financial crisis, and would adversely affect the ability of the Farm Credit System Capital Corporation to implement the self help mechanism of the 1985 legislation. Withdrawal would also send the wrong signal to the financial markets,” said the FCA Board Chairman. The Chairman went on to say, “The Capital Corporation’s capacity to carry out its mission depends in large part on the healthy institutions of the System.

A new 112-day hybrid made the list by outshelling a popular full cousin by 20.1 bushels. A new 110-day hybrid, with big stalks and high grain yields, gives growers the option of combining or filling silo. Perhaps stealing the show is a three-way cross for the 80s. It matches the yields, health and stalk quality of the modem single grosses but at a bargain basement price. This because of the ease of producing. Farm Credit News
