bean farmers scored a major vic
tory in the new U.S.-Soviet Long-
Term Grain Agreement (LTA)
announced recently by Secretary
of Agriculture Clayton Yeutter
and U.S. Trade Representative
Carla A. Hills.
The agreement, which will be
signed at the U.S.-Soviet summit
in mid-June, expands the mini

and soybean meal that can be pur
chased by the Soviet Union.
Under the five-year pact, the
Soviet Union could substitute one

soybean meal for two million
metric tons of wheat or feedgrains
in meeting their annual minimum
purchase of at least 10 million
metric tons. The new agreement is
an increase from the nine million
ton minimum in the current agree
ment, which expires December
31, 1990.
‘The Soviet Union is the largest
potential growth market for soy
beans and soybean products,” said
Buck McCann, first vice president
of the American Soybean Associ
ation. ‘This agreement opens new
doors for U.S. soybean farmers to
sell their products.”
The competition hasn’t kept up
with Massey-Ferguson. Have you?
Still the real leader.
Massey-Ferguson
caught the competition
by surprise when they in
troduced the revolutionary
M-F Autotronic' tractors
3 years ago.
Today the
newest models stUl can’t
match the productivity of
the M-F Autotronic trac
tors. Here’s why:
Tighter turning.
When making tight
turns on the headlands,
you need to quickly disen
gage the differential lock,
but keep the 4WD to pull
you sharply through the
turn.
Raise your 3-point hitch or touch
a brake and M-F Autotronic trac
tors automatically disengage the
differential lock, but continues the
4WD so you can turn faster and
sharper. The competition shuts off
their front-wheel assist, or does
nothing.
Riduced slippage.
How often have you wasted fuel
and time from unnecessary wheel
spin, or even been stopped when one
wheel dug in, just because you forgot
to re-engage the differential lock or
4WD?
► Drop the three-point hitch and
M-F Autotronic tractors automati
cally re-engage the differential
lock to prevent spinning and lost
time.
► On 4WD models, touch the
differential lock and it auto
matically engages the 4WD.
Improved control.
Stopping a heavy load can be hard
on your tractor and your nerves. But
it doesn’t have to be.

As soon as you apply the brakes
on 4WD models, the tractor in
stantly engages the 4WD to give
you effective 4-wheel braking and
maximum control.
Gentler PTO.
Independent PTO systems can be
pretty hard on shear pins, clutches
and implements.
► M-F Autotronic tractors auto
matically measure the PTO load
and engage the clutch smoothly
and progressively to prevent
damage.
Sava fuel and tins.
4WD is great in the field, but not
on the road.
► M-F Autotronic tractors auto
matically disengage the 4WD at
speeds over 9 mph (14 KPH) for
better fuel economy and less tire
wear.
► Slow down, and 4WD is
re-engaged for maximum
control and traction.

Dairy Bowl representative Ben Miller are recognized by the

According to Steve Nemeth,
ASA staff director of Eastern Eur
ope, the long-term feed protein
potential in the Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe is probably 100
million metric tons.
“Gorbachev has said they don’t
have enough protein to supple
ment grain in feed rations,” said
Nemeth. “They will have to
import grain in the future, but also
protein.”
The new trade agreement, ASA
said, paves the way for those sales
over the next five years.
‘There is obviously a growing
demand in the Soviet Union for

soybeans and soybean products,”
said McCann. “That issue is
whether or not it will soy
bean farmers that supply the
demand. The new agreement is an
important step to make sure we
do.”
In 1988-89, the 6th year of the
current seven-year agreement, the
Soviets purchased 1.3. million
metric tons of soybean meal and
442,500 metric tons of soybeans.
Purchases since Oct. 1, 1989 total
1,047 million metric tons of soy
bean meal and 217,900 metric
tons of soybeans.
Compare all the benefits. See and
drive the competition’s copies of the
M-F Autotronic tractors. Then stop
by your M-F Dealer and see the real
value and performance that has
made Massey-Ferguson the Western
Worldb largest tractor manufacturer.
Then, if you still think their
tractor is better, buy it.
