manager, used the nice late fall

machines to their customers.

group of farmers that the new 8000
series of tractors draws on input
from extensive customer and com
petitive owner research and more
than 70 years of experience in
designing tractor models. He said

The breakdown of scores from
Field Day Demonstrates New Equipment Lines
Knight said the new disk ripper
is designed to knock down the com
stalks or other trash in the fall, rip
the ground and leave some of the
trash on top for cover over winter
to help stop erosion. Next spring,
when you are ready to go, a field
cultivator or disk will get you
ready for planting.
As for the business outlook,
Knight said John Deere is coming
of one of their better years in the
last several years and business has
been good. This fall the weather
has been good so much of the crop
is already in the bams with little
crop loss. Production estimates ate
for a large com and soybean crop
this year. But the prices are low. so
the bottom line for the farmers may
not be any better than last year.
About 50 farmers attended the
demonstration and had a nice
lunch.
