Monsanto Aims Herbicide At Conservation-Tillage Corn EPHRATA (Lancaster) Monsanto will introduce herbicide, a specially formulated premix flowable, in 1989. Bullet is a pre-emcrgent surface-applied product for control of annual gras ses and broadleaf weeds in reduced or no-tillage corn production. According to Vem Pond, Mon santo marketing manager for com products, “Bullet contains timed release capsules that gradually release the herbicide during the critical weed germination period. This timed-release action allows Bullet to provide season-long con trol of many problem weeds in both heavy and light residues.” Encapsulation protects Bullet from volatilization, movement in the soil and microbial breakdown. “Those are key factors that can influence herbicide performance where residue is present,” Pond says. SIMPLE The Kubota L2OSO compact diesel tiactor was designed to combine versatility with operating economy, pure and simple. With eight forward speeds, the Kubota L2oso’s powerful, four-cycle 20PTO HP diesel engme delivers ample power for most farming tasks. Direct fuel injection increases fuel economy. High torque rise allows the Kubota L 2050 to recover from sudden load increases that will stall most conventional engines. Versatility is guaranteed by optional quick attach implements like a front loader, box scraper, pna mid-mount mower and tiller. !3!KllllllTD Put the Kubota L 2050 to work. It’s simply economical.

In this case, the taxpayer will treat the date of each animal’s purchase as the date of birth, and will capitalize the greater of the purchase price of the cattle or the safe-harbor amount. For example, if a taxpayer purchases a beef calf for $4O in 1988, he may capitalize the greater of the purchase price ($4O) or the safe-harbor amount ($B5) with respect to the calf for 1988. In most cases, the higher figure would be chosen and the safe-harbor amount would be used. In contrast, if the “Financing As Low As 4.5% Available Through December 31, 1988” “See The Kubota Dealer Nearest You For Details.” cost of the calf was S9S, the tax payer could capitalize $95 for the calf for the year, since the purchase price exceeded the safe-harbor amount. The additional amounts capitalized for subsequent years would follow the schedule previ ously described; that is. $l7O in the second year and $B5 in the third year. The preproductive cost issue remains an important one for the 1988 tax filing year and should be considered as tax planning prog resses during the final weeks of 1988. The decision made about preproductive cost may affect both the level of deductible farm expenses and the method used to depreciate new depreciable farm property. Farmers should discuss the issue with a competent tax accountant before making a final decision. PENNSYLVANIA Reading NICARRY Albums EQUIPMENT CO.
