This Week
molecular biology at Monsanto,
will tell more about this develop
ment as one of the major speakers
during the fifteenth annual Mid-
Atlantic Conservation Tillage-
Conference set for December 14,
1988, at the York Fairgrounds in
York, Pennsylvania.
Why should fanners be inter
ested in such promising biotech
nology research? Dr. Padgette
points out that Roundup is non
toxic to animals and marine life.
Rapid breakdown is another factor
making the chemical more eni
vommentally attractive than most
similar products.
Padgette’s presentation ties in
with two other topics scheduled
during the morning session at this
year’s Mid-Atlantic Conservation
Tillage Conference.
Mr. Len Richardson, editor of
Agrichemical Age, a San Francis
co, California-based magazine,
will lead off the program with a
presentation on “How Water
Quality Issues Are Shaping Your
Future.”
Dr. Richard A. Weismiller, an
extension agronomist at the Uni
versity of Maryland, will follow
with “Conservation Tillage and
Groundwater Quality”.
Other topics and speakers will
include; “Improving Nutrient
Efficiency With No-Tillage”, Dr.
V. Allan Bandel, extension agro
nomists, University of Maryland;
“Farm Production, Prices and
Politics in 1989”, Dr. John F. Mar
ten, Staff Economist for Farm
Journal; and “Tillage Alterna
tives”, Dr. Richard R. Johnson,
Senior Agronomist, Deere & Co.
Technical Center, Moline, Illinois
and Lynn D. Hoffman, Agronomy
Research Center, Superintendent,
Penn State University.
Dr. Marten will lead off the
afternoon session as keynote
speaker for the day. He was a
popular speaker during (he 1985
Mid-Atlantic No-Till Conference
predecessor of the Conserva
tion Tillage Conference.
This year’s event will get
