The only growing conditions that
count are yours. So we customize our
hybrids, whether for silage or grain,
to fit your growing season, your soil
type, your rainfall. Specifically,
your location.
Yield? Standability? Outstanding.
Just ask your Agway Crop Sales
Specialist, Reading-Bone or Andgrow
salesperson. Then simply try a Held
of the variety that’s designed for
your area. And rind out how Agway
research benefits the only customer
that counts. Specifically, you.

AREA DAIRY FARMERS
On Tuesday, April 6,1993 at the farm of
John Beiler of 12A South Ronks Rd.,
Ronks, Pa. at 7:00 p.m. - there will be a
meeting on health care for the dairy
cow. A discussion on using a very suc
cessful, natural prevention program
will be presented.
John Beiler will discuss how he has used
Vita-Min-Lac Products the past three
years to control his somatic cell count
without the use of drugs and what the
products have done for his herd health.
Levi A. Yoder of Ohio, beginning his
fifth year with this natural prevention
program, will also share what Vita-Min-
Lac Products has done for his Percheron
mares and his dairy cows in regards to
mastitis, high cell count etc. (without
needing a veterinarian other than for
pregnancy checking). The success of his
thirty-five sow, farrowing operation will
also be discussed (again, without the
need of drugs and high vet expenses)!
Please come and hear what Vita-Min-
Lac Products can do for you, without the
holding of milk or meat from the
market, and keeping your animals on
full feed for maximum growth and
production.
Be sure and mark your calendars for
Tuesday evening at 7:00 at the John
Beiler farm!! Refreshments will be furn
ished, so bring your friends and neigh
bors with you.
