FOR ALL
SEASONS
No matter what the task or season,
Kubota's mid-sized tractors have the
versatility and implements to handle
the job.
Like our B-50 Series tractors that

engines, 2 or 4-wheel drive, quick
attach implements and a powerful
13-20 PTO HP. Optional Bi-Speed
Turn allows for amazing precise
turns in 4-wheel drive for lawn care
in the spring and snow removal in
the winter. HST transmission and
power steering are available, too.
Our Kubota L-Series tractors pro
vide the extra horsepower you need,
boosting 20 - 49 PTO HP. Built with
liquid-cooled Kubota diesel engines,
these mid-sized tractors come in 2 or
4-wheel drive. These models come
with lots of choices which include the
new Ever-Clutch - a first-of-a-kind
wet clutch that doubles clutch life and

• David F. Hughes is a native
of Richmond, Va. He earned
bachelor’s and master’s degrees
from Brigham Young University
(BYU) where he served as Presi
dent of the Agronomy Club.
Among his honors at BYU was the
selection of his research for the
outstanding M.S. thesis award by
the BYU Sigma-Xi Scientific
Research Society. He is in the first
year of his doctorate program at
the University of Missouri. His
dissertation research will be con
ducted as a part of the Missouri
Management Systems Evaluation
Area (MSEA) water quality pro
ject. His work will focus on the
assessment of the impacts of con
ventional and alternative systems
Missouri on grain production, nitrogen use efficien
cy and nitrogen losses over daypan landscapes. Fol
lowing his graduate study, David would like to
serve as an ASA-CSSA-SSSA Congressional Fel
low. He plans a career in soil fertility research and
instruction, is interested in international work and,
eventually, land grant university administration.
• Bryan A. Kliewer is working toward his mas
ter’s at North Carolina State University. Bom in
Henderson, Neb., he received his bachelor’s from
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He has won
many honors, including the Westinghouse Talent
Search award, being one of only 40 students in the
U.S. selected who were ‘best fitted for promising
careers in science.’ The title of his thesis is
“Response of Soil Denitrification Rates to Water
Table Management” The objective of his research
is to quantify denitrification losses associated with
water table management and to evaluate the time
course behavior of nitrous oxide emissions from
poorly drained soils managed with water control
structures. Bryan places strong emphasis on scho
larship and, as a scholar, plans to pursue further gra
duate work, then a career in soil fertility and ground
water management and conservation.
• Karen Lowell completed her undergraduate
study at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa; she is
in the second year of a master’s program in agro
nomy at the University of Maryland. After her
undergraduate studies, she served as a Peace Corps
volunteer in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Her work
there as an agriculture extension agent led to inter
ests in soil fertility, and ways in which research and
technology from developed nations can be of use in
the developing world. Her thesis is titled “Use of
Reduced S to Enhance Bioavailability of P in Pho
sphate Rock.”
The fellowship winners are selected by a commit
tee of PPI scientists. The fellowships are named in
honor of Dr, J. Fielding Reed, retired president of
the institute, who now lives in Athens, Ga.
Nitrate Test as Basis for Nitrogen
Recommendations on Corn in
Indiana.” The main objectives of
his research are to develop corre
lation and calibration data for the
test, based on climatic conditions,
soil types and management prac
tices common to Indiana. Making
use of soil and tissue sampling and
a chlorophyll meter, Kevin hopes
to develop recommendations
based on a broad data base. After
completing his master’s degree,
he plans a career in field crop
research or agronomic services in
the seed or fertilizer industry.
