Boom Kit Converts Floaters For
CARROLL, lowa Monsanto
has developed a spray boom kit
that allows custom applicators to
adapt large liquid fertilizer floa
ters for application of Roundup®
herbicide. The Roundup® Boom
II Kit offers several advantages to
applicators. Utilizing large floater
tank capacities for herbicide appli
cation means less downtime is
spent mixing and loading.
Mote acres can be sprayed per
load with fewer interruptions.
“Having floaters set up for her
bicide application will enable
applicators to cover a lot of acres
in a short amount of time,” said
Walter Armstrong. Monsanto

Applying Roundup with a floa
ter also provides a smoother ride
for applicators on tough fields.
“Bumpy field conditions can
increase applicator fatigue and
affect concentration and applica
tion accuracy,” Armstrong said.
“Retailers will also get improved
floater utilization by widening
application options to include
bumdown herbicides, as well as
fertilizer and residual herbicides.”

show that by reducing
tariffs on imports, the
new General Agree
ment on Tariffs and
Trade (GATT) could re
duce U.S. government
revenues by $l4-$lB
billion. Such estimates,
the group noted, are
highly subjective and
fail to consider the po
tential for increased re
venues due to expand
ing trade and increased
ves (caps & nozzles included),
spray tips, strainers, adjustable
economic activity,
which help create jobs
and an expanded tax
base.
“It is our understand
ing the administration
has under consideration
various proposals, in
cluding requiring signi
ficant reductions in cur
rent farm and related
programs, to help offset
a major proportion of
such revenue losses,”

the letter said. “This is
despite the fact that tar
iff revenue losses from
agricultural imports ac
count for only about
five percent or less of
the estimated total.”
The group indicated
that the Administration
has assured farm or
ganizations that the new
GATT agreement
would not require any
further reduction in do
mestic income and
price-support programs.
The coalition is con
cerned that payment for
the GATT agreement
will fall disproportion
ately on the agricultural
sector, which already
has seen significant
spending cuts in recent
years.
Under the negotiated
GATT agreement, tar
iffs in signatory coun
tries would be reduced
on a wide range of pro
ducts. But while the
agreement requires
countries to reduce their
use of export subsidies,
it allows them to main
tain or even increase
their support for cer
tain non-trade-distort
ing (“green box”) pro
grams. In its letter, the
coalition urged Presi
dent Clinton to shift
current funding from re
duced or disallowed
programs to the green
box programs.
Agricultural support
programs considered in
the green box catgegory
include market devel
opment and promotion,
export credit, food aid,
and other related pro
grams. The budget cur
rently under considera
tion would significantly
reduce many of these
programs, even though
they are permitted by
GATT.
“Unless these con
cerns are addressed, it is
hard to envision how
U.S. agriculture stands
to gain as a result of the
new GATT agreement,’*
the letter said.
The GATT agree
ment was negotiated
during a seven-year per
iod. Before it can take
effect, most signatory
countries must bring
their own domestic laws
into compliance with
the GATT agreement.
The U.S. Congress may
take up this implement
ing legislation later this
year.
The letter to Presi
dent Clinton stated that
the coalition would find
it very difficult to sup
port any funding pro
posal which recom
mends that U.S. agricul
ture pay a
disproportionate share
of the cost of GATT.
