If you’re a Ifelmark customer who acts now, you can put the “breaks” on this year’s tax bill. Order your equipment with a
signed lease by December 31, and get 100% tax-deductible payments this year. Plus, with an annual payment schedule, you can
benefit bom a large tax write-off this year and not make a second payment for as many as 12 full months. .
You’ll have several more good reasons to look forward to a happy new year. You can lock in your order now and take delivery
in 1992. You’ll enjoy fixed, competitive payments and can choose a payment schedule that allows you to skip payments in the
months or season of lowest income You also can get whatever you want right now without jeopardizing your ability to fully
depreciate other assets bought earlier in the year*

with President Bush’s
announcement of $1.25
billion in GSM-102 cre
dit guarantees for the
Soviet Union. It is an
affirmation of the
importance of the Soviet
market to U.S. farmers,"

announcements will be
forthcoming in a timely

The council has
requested the admi

billion in credit guaran
tees to the Soviet Union
to protect the integrity
of its livestock industry.
The council based this
recommendation on
careful analysis of the
Soviet Union’s food and
feed requirements.
"While (the)
announcement certainly

direction, it will not be
adequate to meet the
Soviet Union’s needs,"
said council Chairman
Dan L. Peterson.
