It’s being together that Beth
clings to. But Floyd admits she
need not worry about him giving
up farming. Recently he toured a
large steel plant “I couldn’t work
there even if they paid me $25 per
hour,” he said. “What do you see
that gives you satisfaction at the
end of the day? A hunk of steel?"
He speaks of the contentment
that plowing a field and feeding
calves brings. “You sec things
growing. You get rewards for your
work.”
But being a hardworker doesn’t
keep Hoyd from vacation breaks.
Spray weevils early
with ftiradan 4F
insecticide and save.
When you spray your alfalfa for weevil prior to first
cutting you’ll save yields and free up your time later,
when you’re really busy.
Alfalfa weevils begin feeding prior to Arsf
cutting. This can hurt tonnage, quality and stands.
Spraying early not only prevents all this, but it means
that you won’t have to worry about it after f rst
cutting—when you may not have time to spray at all.
Furadan® 4F insecticide from FMC.
The best choice for early alfalfa weevil control
Because you have more to do than worry about weevil.

He and Beth enjoy annual snow
mobiling jaunts to Canada and
New York.
While they arc gone, Floyd
completely trusts his high school
hired hand. Dean Berger, to take
care of the dairy herd.
“He’s a good hired hand; other
wise, I couldn’t do all I’ve got to
do. He doesn’t stand around look
ing for something to do.”
A nephew of the Kurtz’s takes
care of the registration bookwork.
“I don’t have the patience to stand
out their and do all the markings,”
Kurtz said, “so it’s good he enjoys
it or it probably wouldn’t get
done.”
One thing that deeply disturbs
Beth is the attitude that some peo
ple portray by saying things such

*People don’t realize everything
farmers do and need to know to do
heir job or they wouldn’t say that
I’m proud of my husband and
jroud that he’s a farmer.”
