D6-Lancnter Farming Saturday, April 28,1990 Double SS: New Forage Seed Mix HALL, NY Eastland Double SS Brand is a new forage seed mixture developed for production of high quality forage in solid seeded stands. Double SS compo nents are Northeast adapted grain sorghum and soybeans. Key benefits are double crop potential, high forage quality, and reduced crop inputs compared to com silage. Lower fertilizer, her bicide, and insecticide costs com bined with the ability to better control erosion make this alterna tive worth considering.

David Chapman Aerocoof u LANSING, Mich. A unique new design with features making evaporative cooling systems easier to install, simpler to main tain, and more efficient has been introduced by Aerotech, Inc. The L-shaped mounting flanges on the Aerocool™ panels simplify installation. PVC distribution pipe is sized to the system ensuring even pad wetting. Stainless steel bolts and wing nuts permit easy removal of the front header plate for inspection. The 6-inch cellul ose pads offer outstanding effi ciency and durability. The improved cooling panels can be quickly installed by screw ing or bolting the extruded alumi num headers and footers directly to wood or metal framing for a clean, finished installation. There is no need for special framing, flashing, or extensions. An extruded aluminum header surrounds a PVC distribution pipe with precisely positioned baffles to thoroughly and evenly wet the pad. The Aerocool™ system is also easy to maintain, which is critical to most swine producers. Plastic wing-nuts allow quick removal of the face panel on the header for routine maintenance and complete access to the pads, distribution pipe, and collection trough. The 6-inch thick cellulose pads lo a superior job of cooling air. Die shape and angle of the rugged cellulose pad flutes provide a ‘Fortress’ Granted WASHINGTON, D.C. New Du Pont “Fortress” 5G soil insec ticide has been granted an experi mental use permit (EUP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The temporary tolerance EUP allows “Fortress” to be used on 2,000 com acres during 1990. “We’re very impressed with what ‘Fortress’ has done in field testing,” said product manager Joe Anderson. ‘“Fortress’ data shows excellent broad-spectrum control of several major com pests.” “Fortress” is being used in EUP trials for control of western, north ern, and southern com rootworm; black and dingy cutworm; wirew orm; seed com maggot; and white grub. “Fortress” has been tested for several years in laboratory and small plot testing. This year’s EUP data will be compiled with 1989 EUP on-farm data for writ ing a complete use label. “Fortress” is a low-use-rate insecticide and is being targeted for use at one-quarter pound of active ingredient per acre. Anderson mentioned several environmental benefits of the pro duct. “Fortress” does not leach in the soil like some other insecti cides.

Congressman Jim Olin (D-VA) commended the U.S. Department of Agriculture for its decision to adjust the prices that it will pay for butter and non-fat dry milk that is sold to the Commodity Credit Corporation. Olin, a member of the House Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy and Poultry, has authored legislation that would require the USDA to adjust prices of butter and non-fat dry milk when CCC purchases of those products are out of proportion to their appear ance in whole milk.

The Dairy Stabiliza tion Act of 1990, continues the current policy of tying changes in the support price to the amount of surplus purchases. However, it increases the amount of surplus purchases that will trigger price increases and reductions.

And we don’t need quotas and assess ments. We only need to get the price of milk products in line with their value in the market.” Olin plans to offer his bill, H.R. 4254, as an amendment to the Farm Bill when the full Agricul ture acts in May.
