LANCASTER (Lancaster Co.)
During the past week, the Pen
nsylvania Dutch Festival high
lighted the agricultural heritage of
the county and the many ways food
adds fun to visits here.
The celebration coincided with
the announcement that Pennsylva
nia Dutch Fare is “in for 1993.”
Editors of Cooking Light maga
zine view recent societal trends
towards creating more family time
and a return to “scratch” cooking
as contributing factors to the popu
larity of Pennsylvania Dutch
cooking.
Mary Rankin, public relations
specialist for Pennsylvania Dutch
Convention and Visitors Bureau,
said that it is not surprising that
Pennsylvania Dutch food is pre
dicted to be “in” food.
She said, “While viewed in
some comers as heavy, the food is
wholesome. It relies on fresh, non
processed ingredients. The recipes
are down-to-earth, relying on
recipes handed down from genera
tion to generation as an expression
of love for family.”
Visitors from near and far tasted
Pennsylvania Dutch specialties at
the many different sites during the
festival. An array of Amish foods
such as grape mush, creamed cel
ery, whoopie pies, homemade root
beer, banana pickles, pickled
watermelon rind, chow chow,
Great stands in fess-than-great conditions
From opening a seed trench to firming soil
around seed, nothing else handles residue or
seed like the John Deere 750 Drill.
New “active” hydraulics load each single-disk
opener with up to 450 pounds of down-pressure
to slice through heavy cover. Plus, there’s a full
two feet of ground clearance for great trash flow.
Seed placement is precise. That’s because
depth gauging is done at the point where the
seed is placed in the ground. The depth you set
is the depth you get

To achieve excellent seed-to-soil contact, a
semi-pneumatic press wheel gently firms the
seed into the bottom of the furrow. A cast-iron
closing wheel finishes the job, crumbling the
furrow wall to cover the seed. The result is even
emergence - even in the ugliest conditions.
From opening to closing, the 750 Drill is the
great way to seed no-till, minimum-till, or
conventional-till fields. Just ask a neighbor who
owns one.
