The state Department of Agricul

ranks fourth in the nation in the
number of food processors and
first in the Northeast in employ
ment and value-added production.
At Ag Progress Days, you can
learn more about how Pennsylva

duce high quality products and
help spur economic growth. Spon

E. Larson Agricultural Research
Center in Rock Springs.
A special exhibit in the College
Building will feature information

steps that food manufacturers take
to transform three raw commodi
tites into ready-to-eat products,”
says Dr. Gerald Kuhn, professor
and interim department head of
food service.

Exhibit Explores World Of Food Processing
In 1986, the food processing
industry generated $6.4 billion in
value-added processing and man
ufacturing. “This creates thou
sands of jobs for Pennsylvania
residents and gives farmers in the
state an outlet for their products,”
says Kuhn.
Pennsylvania farmers produce a
lot of food to process. The state
ranks in the top five nationally in
the production of mushrooms,
processed chocolate and cocoa,
frozen dairy products, chickens,
eggs, sweet com, milk and butter,
peaches, grapes, apples and pears.
“A farmer might receive 6 cents
a pound for potatoes,” says Kuhn.
“But by the time potatoes are
sorted, cleaned, pealed, sliced,
cooked and packaged into french
fries, consumers pay close to
$l.OO a pound for the transformed
product.”
The exhibit at Ag Progress Day
will show how food manufactur-

Three Hesston Models...the 7165, 7155 and 7145...
offer increased harvesting capacity with the revolutionary
8-Knife Turbo Vane Cutting Cylinder. This exclusive
Hesston design features eight C-2 knives that produce
high capacity “scissor-action” cutting that eliminates
bunching and carry-over...and gives more output on
less fuel!
The C-2 knives have two
cutting edges that can be
reversed for longer service life.
And the Auto-Sharp Knife
Grinder, standard on the 7155
and 7165, sharpens quickly and
easily...any time and anywhere!
It is a self-indexing grinder that
sharpens knives with the
cylinder running in normal cutting direction.
Straight-Thru Crop-Flo puts more horsepower and
fuel into cutting and less into crop handling...eliminates
cross augers or spinners that can drain power and waste
fuel. And Hesstonfc new auger base header unit allows
you to work more crops on a lower overall investment!
If you want to forage more on less fuel, see your
Hesston dealer today about Models 7145, 7155 and
7165 ...for tractors
from 60 to
250 HP!
