Mold-Inhibiting Feed
Products Offered By Cargill
MINNEAPOLIS. MN Car
gill’s molasses liquid products
division has added several
improvements to its Car-Mil Glo
liquid-feed-ingredient product
line that inhibit mold and enhance
moisture when added to dry feeds.
Roy Ross, vice president for
domestic operations, said the new
Car-Mil Glo products are incor
porated into textured feeds by feed
manufacturers to help overcome
problems with caked, moldy, dry
and inconsistent feeds.
“Our research shows that these
products make it easier to handle
feed, decrease equipment mainte
nance and help provide consistent
feed color and appearance. Car-
Mil Glo has an enticing aroma and
helps keep feed fresher for longer
time periods,” said Ross.
Feed manufacturers who pur
chase Car-Mil Glo select from one
of three products that inhibit mold,
including Mold Pack, Mold Pack
Plus and Namol-Trol Plus.
“We are providing an unusual
industry warranty on these mold
inhibiting products,” said Ross.
“We will reimburse feed manufac
turers for the cost of their feed
products if they develop mold,
provided that warranty require
ments were followed.”
Manufacturers may select one
of the three mold-inhibiting pro
ducts based on feed storage temp
eratures, feed moisture content,
humidity levels, grain condition
and the amount of time that feed is
stored, Ross explained.
Ross added that another new
Car-Mil Glo product. Moisture

Jacques Seed
PRESCOTT, WI. Jacques
Seed Company recently
announced that it will add a new
proprietary multi-leaf variety to its
alfalfa line-up for 1990. The new
variety, Multi-plier, is best-suited
for the northern United States and
Canada.
Multi-plier exhibits high yield
potential and has a 24-point rating
using the 25-point Wisconsin Dis
ease Resistance Rating System.
Multi-plier is highly resistant to
bacterial wilt, fusarium wilt,
anthracnose and phytophthora
root rot. It also is resistant to verti
cillium wilt, the pea aphid and the
spotted alfalfa aphid and shows
good tolerance to the cool season
leaf diseases. In addition, Multi
plier has a winter-hardiness rating
similar to Vernal and has quick
recovery after cutting.
Although the multi-leaf
expression is strongly linked to
environmental and management
conditions, Multi-plier averages a
45- to 60-percent multi-leaf
Kinze Row Unit Offers Improved Performance
WILLIAMSBURG. lA. A
new row unit designed to improve
the performance and ease of
adjustment of row crop planters
has just recently been introduced
by Kinzc Manufacturing Inc.
The new Kinze row unit now
features quick-adjustable multiple
tension springs. No wrenches are
required to change down force set
tings for either dual or quad
setups. The new unit is also
designed with a heavier-built, gus
seled lower parallel arm assembly
and a stronger reinforced shank
assembly to handle the demands
of increased conservation
planting.
High impact plastic idler
sprockets replace the plastic
spools formerly used in metering
and granular chemical drive sys
tems. The granular chemical
attachment also features a drive
disconnect clutch which allows
shut-off of chemical flow and
quick easy removal of the hopper.
In addition, an all-new frame
mounted coulter package is avail
able with multiple depth settings

maturing stages of the plant and
after ample rainfall. Multi-plier
produces medium-sized, broad
leaves with an extremely high
leaf-to-stem ratio, which gives it a

advantage over most standard tri
foliolate varieties.

hybrid available. It is an excellent
choice for high-yield shelled grain
and ear com.
A 105-day relative maturity
hybrid, G-4393 is one of the most
promising Funk hybrids in recent
years. G-4393 responds to high
populations, while delivering out
standing yield potential.
4472 establishes healthy, attrac
tive plants with strong stalks. A
110-dry hybrid, it offers superior
grain quality and yields.
