BEANS & CORN TOO CHEAP?
Grow them without toxins and get $B.OO to $12.00 per bu. for
soybeans and $3.00 for corn, guaranteed. You can do it this
year yet Others have been doing it for 12 years and are very
happy. You are just as smart, but you are not getting paid for
your smartness.
We need beans by the semi-loads from many farmers for
tofu and soy milk factories. We can't get enough. And corn
even more for the smart dairymen who learned the great val
ue of it. Their cows do better with it, Protein and minerals are
very high and in good balarrce, better than a computer can
do it.
One of our excellent blends, the SK blend, is only $ll6 per
ton Ask for a detailed description of our program.

The backbone of the Model
1500 is a sturdy 7-inch x 7-inch x
3/8-inch tubular frame that pro
vides the penetrating strength
needed for high-residue condi
tions. The center section on the
largest units (12-row “ and 16-row
N) is also equipped with an addi
tional 3-inch x 7-inch forward
toolbar for added strength and sta
bility. The folding wings on the
Model 1500 have unlimited up
flcx and 5-degree down-flex. Stop
bolts on the hinge assembly allow
the operator to limit down-flex, or
pin the wings for rigid operation.
All units have crop clearance of 30
inches.
Heavy-duty parallel linkage al
lows the row units to independent
ly ride up and down over uneven
terrain with up to 10 inches of ver
tical movement and yet maintain
rigid side-to-side alignment which
is critical when working closely to
the row. Four quick-adjustable
coil springs control down-force
pressure, providing maximum
weight transfer for uniform pene
tration in all soil types.
Each row unit is equipped with
adjustable 18-inch diameter coult
ers (with scrapers) that slice
through heavy residue and open a
path for the shank. Replaceable
bolt-on shank points break up
compacted soil layers for in
creased water infiltration and en
hanced aeration.
Reversible and replaceable
double-edge shares, available with
regular or Kinze’s new hard sur
face cutting edges, are available in
17-inch, 19-inch, 21-inch,
25-inch, and 27-inch sizes. The
shares are angled to cut below the
surface of the soil to remove
weeds and grasses at root level
without disturbing protective soil
cover.
The units can easily be
equipped to apply liquid fertilizer
or anhydrous ammonia. The op
tional liquid fertilizer package is
set up with a John Blue L-4405
piston pump, flow divider, and
spring loaded drive wheel. Fer
tilizer tubes are preinstalled on the
shanks for immediate or future ap
plications. The optional anhy
drous attachment includes heavy
duty VA -inch square spring coil
shanks with quick-clamp knife
mounts for customer-supplied
knives. Other options include
ridging attachments, rolling disc
or rotary hoe crop shields, cut
away weeding discs, dual lift as
sist wheels, and a rear telescoping
hitch assembly.

Better Living Foundation
Starts Fundraising Efforts
Margaret Wolff, left, is honory chairperson for the fund
raising effort started during the Farm Show by the Pennsyl
vania Foundation for Better Living. Patty McMurry, a direc
tor of the Dairymen’s Association presented a check for
$2,500 to Mrs. Wolff in support of the mission of the
foundation.
In 1992 the foundation hosted a four-day teacher’s work
shop for 45 teachers to increase the understanding of the
relationship between agriculture and the consumer and the
economy. This summer two workshops are planned to
accommodate 100 elementary teachers.
Christine Jacobs, a kindergarten teacher and a graduate
of last summer’s workshop explained how she incorpo
rates the information she learned into her regular curricu
lum. She also has shared her knowledge and teaching
materials with other teachers in her school.
In addition to the workshops, the foundation has estab
lished a speakers’ bureau and provides teaching materials
and follow-up support for teachers. For more information or

Better Living, write Beth Moore, executive director, at 5399
