WEST BEND, Wis. The
typical vo-ag class room is not
what it used to be.
Teachers once depended on a
selection of text books and made
use of a shop to teach fanning
skills. But now they are hooking
up satellite dishes and computers
to help their students keep in step
with today’s fast-paced agricul
ture.

said. It’s a satellite service that

Egg producers have been putting up with obsolete
chain feeders far too long. Now there's a better
way: Chore-Time’s proven ULTRAFLO Cage Feeding
System. Since introduction, more than 80% of the 4
54 egg producers* have gone to ULTRAFLO. A lot
smaller ones have too.
They’ve all looked at the advantages and chosen
ULTRAFLO. That’s because it makes them more
profitable. Total egg production and egg size—these
are the best benefits of our complete feeding system.
Why not check out the facts for yourself? Contact
us now—or ask any producer who owns ULTRAFLO.
Because the only negative comments about our
feeding system come from our competition—not from
our customers.
