agricultural and food products.
They contribute to more cost ef

Agricultural Engineering, the
magazine which reports on
engineering trends, technologies
and applications in global
agriculture. The magazine is
published by the American Society

ST. JOSEPH, Mich. - The CASE
IH Company of Racine has been
recognized for contributing to
outstanding innovation in product
or systems technology during 1985-
86. The Company’s “Airflow
conveyor & cotton picker dump
basket” and “Tractor/implement
link to measure true acreage”
were named to the “Agricultural
Engineering 50 Salute” section
within the June issue of Agricultural
Engineering.
Virtually all companies making
products for food and agriculture
are eligible to submit nominations
for the honor. Winning products
and systems are recognized as
“developments that embody the
application of new technology or
the innovative application of an
older technology.”
A panel of engineering experts
reviewed hundreds of product
nominations. The panel selected
only those considered most likely
to make worthwhile contributions
to the advancement of engineering
in agriculture.
Coulters Provide Precise
PEORIA, m. - Vetter Liquid
Fertilizer Coulters are designed
for applying fertilizer in no-till,
min-till or conventional
operations. They work especially
well in trash-filled fields because
the 17-inch ripple-bladed coulter
slices trash to clear a path for the
close-following injection knife.
Corrosion resistant stainless
steel tubing formed at the end into
a flat rectangle, Vi-inch in width, is
shaped to match coulter width and
cut a clean, narrow slot. The soil is
left virtually intact to prevent wind
and water erosion, while placing
the fertilizer anywhere from 7>k to
5 inches in depth alongside and
below the root zone where it can be
taken up by growing seedlings with
maximum efficiency.
Heavy-duty IVi-inch spindles are
equipped with sealed tapered
roller bearings for long, durable
service, and all parts are fully
greasable. Spring deflection is 5.5
inches and adjustable for down
pressures up to 900 pounds. The
narrow alloy steel knives are
exceptionally resistant to abrasion

Seed Corn Protectant Approved
For Suppressing Corn Maggot
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Borderland
Products has announced that its
Borderland Black seed corn
protectant is now cleared for use in
suppressing the seed com maggot.
Borderland Black is already
widely used by corn growers to
protect their seed corn, at plant
ing, from crows and other seed
eating birds and as an efficient
lubricant that helps reduce planter
skips.
With addition of seed com
maggot suppression to the label,
growers now have three reasons to
utilize this convenient planter-box
treatment in their 1987 plantings.
Borderland Black is packaged in
8-ounce cartons, each containing
Tensar Introduces Bird Barrier
MORROW, Ga. - The Tensar
Corporation announces the in
troduction of Tensar Bird Barrier
for use in poultry and livestock
confinement operations.
Technologically superior to
plastic netting or wire, Tensar
Bird Barrier is a tough grid
product with a tensile strength of
960 pounds per foot lengthwise and
1,640 pounds per foot across its
width. There’s no rust or sharp
wires and it’s safe for livestock and
poultry.
The high strength, oriented
plastic product can be used in
poultry pens, hog houses, dairy
stalls or weaning-off pens
anywhere ventilation or protection
against bird contamination is
needed.
“Tensar Bird Barrier is a better
value than PVC-coated wire,” says
Mark Hurlbut, agricultural
product manager. “It’s rust-free,
sufficient product to protect one
bushel of seed com following of
label directions.
According to Bordefland vice
president Arthur C. Reimherr, in
1986, growers used sufficient
Borderland Black to protect a
swath of com 500 feet wide and
nearly seven thousand miles long.
“We are delighted with grower
response”, says Reimherr, “and
appreciate the many comments we
have received from well-satisfied
farm customers.”
Borderland Black is available
through seed companies and farm
supply stores in most regions of the
country. For information write

resistant; and it is made with
impact-resistant polymers that
retain strength even in very low
temperatures. It also is easy to
handle and install, weighing just 38
pounds per four-foot by 150-foot
roll, and is quick to clean.”
The Tensar Corporation
guarantees the product for 10
years from performance failure
due to sunlight, humidity, am
monia or uric acid.
Tensar manufactures fencing,
