30 YEARS AGO Frosts late last week did some damage to exceptionally heavy fruit and strawberry buds in the state, but a Pennsylvania Crop Reporting Survey released Wednesday by the State Depart ment of Agriculture said it was still too early to estimate damages accurately. The Department said early set tomato plants suffered 30 to 100 percent kill in Berks County. Temperatures averaged about five degrees below normal for the week ended Monday, and 15 to 20 degrees under readings for the previous week. The lowest tem perature was 22 degrees in Consider advantages offered only by Gehl Talk to a Gehl forage harvester owner and he'll immediately tell you what he likes the most Keep talking and the list gets longer To make it easier to compare the most popular features with two comparable sized machines, we’ve listed them for you Designed for more efficient operation Think of the benefits you get from each feature and you can see why Gehl forage harvester owners are satisfied owners As good as it looks here, a Gehl forage harvester looks even better when you see it working Ask your Gehl dealer for a demonstration Gehl Company, West Bend, Wl 53095 Ask Your Dealer About Low APR Financing Or Waiver A.L.

ACR Land YORK - York County has been approved for special haying and grazing due to drought conditions in 1986. Generally low hay production in 1986 and normal use over winter have reduced hay stocks on hand and will cause earlier than normal feeding of forage crops in 1987. York County farmers par ticipating in the 1987 Grain Program may now harvest hay for personal use or sale from ACR acreage and also graze year round. Charges for forage crops that are sold from harvested ACR acreages may only cover normal No Yes No ttes Yes SPRINGS EQUIPMENT, INC. Springs, PA 814-662-2222 DAYTON EQUIPMENT CO. Dayton, PA 412*783-6990 harvesting costs. Fanners that let other livestock producers graze ACR may not charge for the grazing. There are several steps that farmers must take to meet the program provisions. The farmer must designate acreage for ACR harvest in the York ASCS office. He then must sign a register in dicating intended use. This must be done prior to any harvesting or grazing. Finally, the ACR designated for special use must be eligible as ACR meaning row cropped or ACR in 2 of the last 3 years. The applicant must be prepared to give necessary cropping history to determine eligibility. One exception to the 2 of 3 year rule is that an old field of hay may be used for ACR if a like acreage of hay was established in fall 1986 or spring 1987 and both fields are normally rotated with row crops. The new field of hay must have been row cropped, 2 of the last 3 years to allow harvest on the old field of hay.
