Cows. Crops. And a Scavenger®
spreader. The three essentials for higher
productivity and a more successful
farm operation.
Manure is money.
According to ag experts at the
University of Missouri, the average
dairy cow produces 70 pounds of
manure every day—up to 13 tons a
year. Worth about SS.OO/ton, that
equates to $65.00 per cow a year. If
you own a 60-head herd that’s almost
$4,000 of free fertilizer. And in today’s
farm environment that adds up to big
savings.
Scavenger—good to your
cr ops, good to you.
To get the most from your manure you
need a spreader to efficiently manage

Looking for an alternate to typical
grains as a cash crop?
Buckwheat could be your
answer!
Unlike other small grain crops that
require increasingly costly inputs
and are subject to unstable prices
depending on crop size, gov’t, pro
grams and fluctuating export
markets buckwheat can be
grown under contract to us with
both the price and the market
guaranteed before you plant.
Consequently more and more grow
ers in this area are including sub
stantial buckwheat acreage in their
’B9 planting schedule.
There are definite advantages:
Pi Guaranteed Market
Pi Higher price - $9.15 CWT.
Don't delay. Contact us right away
before acreage requirements for
this year are filled.
