All dairy farmers know that the
denser the bale the better the
bale. The 1100 delivers the den
sity you want, along with the
high production capacities and
ease of handling you need.
Its dense 32" x 20" x up to 79"
bales inhibit spoilage by keeping
air out. They retain quality be
cause denser bales suffer less
nutrient loss. Your cows know
the importance of this.
The Quadrant makes easy
work of dry hay, haylage and
silage crops — whatevery ou need.
And because Quadrant bales are
produced in flakes, they easily
divide into smaller portions. That
makes them easy to handle for
feeding and bedding.

In a news release distributed
Tuesday by Coy’s staff, it slates
‘The legislation was officially
signed on May 20. The landmark
legislation finally made its way to
the governor’s desk after it sat idle
in the Senate for two consecutive
sessions. It was passed by the
House both times.”
However, Coy’s statement fail
ed to mention that the previously
House-approved bills were not
acceptable by any of the state’s
agricultural organizations.
In fact, the current act is the
result of negotiatipns which
occured while House-approved
versions at nutrient management
were under review in the Senate
Agricultural and Rural Affairs
Committee.
In an attempt to get the act
passed last session Coy and others
in the House took working drafts
of proposals being negotiated by
the agricultural and environmental
groups and quickly introduced the

Signing
proposal as a rider on a Senate
environmental educational bill.
That draft was the basis for the
wording of the act which is now
law.
Agriculture had been selected as
a first taiget for seeking tighter
controls because it is included
among that class of suspected
applicators of excessive nitrogen
and other nutrients, and because it
is an obvious applicator of
nutrients.
However, human manure, is
also highly suspect as a non-point
source of excessive nutrients,
because of the number of on-lot
septic systems and drainage fields,
and the number of people as com
pared to livestock. The proposed
law directs that all nutrient sources
be researched and solutions found.
Also, the law effectively
preempts local nutrient manage
ment ordinances, which were
beginning to be passed in different
sub-county municipalities and
which threatened to create a
statewide hodgepodge of rules.
