Northrup King Co. will expand availability of its new Load & Go ™ Seed Handling System to corn and soybean growers throughout the U.S. in 1995. The move fol lows a successful pilot program conducted with growers in the Midwest in 1994. The Load & Go system features specially-engineered durable plas tic boxes which make filling planter boxes easier and quicker, allowing coverage of more acres per day. ‘This system enables growers to go straight from the dealer to the field, without taking the inter mediate step of loading a poly bag into a gravity wagon,” said Jack Bemens, Northrup King com pro duct manager. “No one has ever packaged seed like this before." The centerpiece of the Load & Go Seed Handling System is the Q-Bit™ container, an injection molded polyethylene bin manu factured in two sizes from durable, recyclable plastic. One Q-Bit con tainer is the equivalent of 30 bags of seed com or 40 bags of soy beans. When full, the Q-Bit con tainer weighs about 2,000 pounds, and can be loaded between the wheel wells of a full-size pickup truck box. Seeds are discharged from the container using a simple hose connection or belt convey ors. specially designed augers or pneumatic air transfer systems to fill planters or drills. o
