Agronomist, Student
NEWARK. Del. A Delaware
extension agronomist and a Uni
versity of Delaware graduating
senior garnered two of the eight
awards given this year by the
Northeastern Branch of the
American Society of Agronomy
(NEBASA). The awards are in re
cognition of exceptional contribu
tions to agronomic science, educa
tion. and service.
Dr. Richard W. Taylor won the
Extension-Industry Award, which
is given to a member who exhibits
the ability to inspire others, the
skill to lead people to mastery of
new and useful agronomic know
ledge, and excellence in educa
tional activities.
Taylor, who came to the univer
sity in 1985, has developed a
multi-disciplinary crop production
extension program. His work on
the adoption of grain sorghum in
Delaware rotations with soybeans
has increased profitability and re
duced disease and insect prob
lems. He is at work on a plan for
poultry manure management com
bined with agronomic crop pro
duction that won’t compromise
yields or water quality. Taylor cre
ated an award-winning series of
32 fact sheets, on soybean produc
tion specifically for Delaware and
he edits Soy News, a Delaware
Soybean Board quarterly.
Christina M. Hamilton, who re
ceived a bachelor’s degree in agri
culture this spring, is the recipient
of the Outstanding Senior Student
Award. The award is based on
scholarship, leadership, and char
acter and is given to a senior who
has declared an interest in the
plant and soil sciences.
s Milestone
“If you think about it, only a
few high points have made a revo
lutionary mark on the evolution of
the modem tractor,” said Rich
Christman, Case Corporation
senior vice president, sales and
marketing-North America. “Until
we introduced the 7100 Series
Magnum tractors, tractor design
had stayed basically the same for
over twenty years. A handful of
pivotal changes like shift-on-the
go transmissions and hydraulics
were separated by long stretches
of relatively minor product inno
vation. Magnum represents the
last great revolution in tractor
technology.”
The 7200 Series includes five
models the 7210, 7220, 7230.
7240 and 7250, ranging from 130
to 215 PTO horsepower.

Hamilton received a degree
with distinction, which is earned
by a senior who completes an un
dergraduate research thesis. She
will present her findings on the
suppression of biological nitrogen
fixation in poultry manure
amended soils at the 1994 annual
NEBASA meeting.
As a sophomore, Hamilton con
ducted an independent study on
nitrogen and phosphorus avail
ability in composted and pelletiz

study were presented at the 1993
NEBASA annual meeting. A
manuscript based on her findings
will be published in the Journal of
Sustainable Agriculture.
Moyer
Celebrates
SOUDERTON (Montgomery
Co.) When Christian, Jonas,
and Enos Moyer first started tend
ing shop in their small feed store
in Souderton in 1869, it’s unlikely
they could have envisioned how
their then-modest operation would
eventually evolve.
But continued growth became
the norm for the Moyer Brothers,
who were to gradually acquire lar
ger facilities in order to accommo
date their ever-increasing product
and service lines.
Today, that same family busi
ness is Moyer & Son, now in its
fifth generation, with 180 employ
ees many of whose families
have been with the company for
generations themselves.
Over the years, Moyer & Son
has concentrated on three major

the addition of the FTI74
hydraulic fold hay tedder to
Its line of hay equipment.
The FTI74 Is a four rotor,
pull-type tedder driven by
540 RPM PTO power. The
folding outer sections can be
quickly folded hydraulically
and repositioned to change
the 17 foot 2 inch working
width to a narrow 8 foot 6
inch transport width. The
hinged outer sections are
each equipped with a gauge
wheel to allow even spread

ground. Each rotor has six

high as 3 tons/acre for lime.
The S6i features walidng beam
suspension for smoother travel
over uneven terrain. The UHMW
plastic hopper floor can not cor
rode or freeze.
Special spread-pattern controls
allow farmers to spread on one
side only. This increases spread
ing efficiency by reducing waste
while ensuring maximum yields in
the headland areas of fields.

Agripro Seeds, Inc. will con

operate primarily in the South. In
addition, the sales organizations
of both companies will cooperate

According to Milton Allen,
recently named president of Agri
pro Seeds, this new relationship
with Helena gives Agripro access
to additional plant breeding
resources, markets, and estab
lished distribution channels. At
the same time, the acquisition
broadens Helena’s seed business
and product line and positions the
company to be a key player in the
northern U.S. seed market.
