CUT HAY DRYING TIME
If you use a pull-type mower-condi
tioner, you can help the sun do a quicker
job of drying your alfalfa by applying
chemical drying agents while you cut
We can install a Harvest Tec push-and
spray bar directly in front of the reel of
your mower-conditioner It s designed
to apply an even chemical coating with
precise accuracy So you apply the

■ Chemical Hay Conditioner
When sprayed on alfalfa hay during cutting, the RAPID CURE mixture
penetrates the waxy cutin layer on the stems, increasing the rate of
water evaporation from the hay.
RAPID CURE;
tß oo uCI ° \ 1 • Reduces chance of rain damage
A 01 \ 2. Improves the quality of hay
H A 3. Gets hay off faster and allows more days for
L new hay crop to grow.
RAPID CURE Doesn't Cost,..lt Payslll
Both university and farm tests have proven RAPID CURE Chemical
Hay Conditioner pays for itself. RAPID CURE will cost about $5.50 per
acre. Applied as directed, RAPID CURE will increase hay yield by 120
to 130 lbs. per acre. This increased yield pays the cost of RAPID CURE.
ABC GROFF, INC. has a quality line of RAPID CURE applicators in stock
to fit your needs.
