Massey Ferguson’s newest platform tractor
the MF 1 3120 T delivers 110 horse
power from a turbocharged Perkins 1000
Series engine But you’d swear it was even
bigger That’s because the engine’s unique
Quadram combustion chamber and
Dynatorque Power Curve deliver more
torque and higher torque backup on less
fuel than conventional 110 hp engines
And when you add in the superior perfor
mance of Massey Ferguson’s exclusive
Economy PTO, Dynashift transmission, and
optional true 4WD, you’ve got one powerful
performer So much useable power that the
competition can’t believe it’s real.

23rd Annual Convention
the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade (GATT) is wrought
with excessive spending and polit
ical favors (a.k.a. PORK) such as
millions of dollars for the Wash
ington Post and Carl Icon, and;
Whereas GATT eliminates
many of our domestic laws such as
Sections 22 of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1933 which
protects U.S. farm programs and
taxpayers from unfair, predatory
imports, and;
Whereas the GATT imple
menting language will require $3l
billion in additional debt over the
next ten years for U.S. taxpayers,
and;
Whereas members of the
House of Representatives will be
allowed an average of only IS sec
onds each to address the concerns
of their constituents on the largest
trade agreement in history, and;
Whereas many members plan
ning to vote on GATT in the spe
cial “Lame Duck” session of Con
gress were voted out of office and
will no longer be accountable to
their constituents;
Be it resolved that Pennsylva
nia Fanners Union urges no vote
on GATT until the pork is
trimmed out of the implementing
legislation, and;
Be it further resolved that the
Pennsylvania Farmers Union urges
no vote on GATT until the agree
ment is renegotiated to correct its
fundamental flaws such as elimi
nation of our domestic laws, and;
Be it further resolved that
Pennsylvania Farmers Union
urges no vote on GATT until its
budget impact is properly ad
dressed, and;
Be it further resolved that
Pennsylvania Farmers Union
urges no vote on GATT until all
members of Congress are afforded
the opportunity to hold full, open
debate on GATT with adequate
time to fully address the concerns
of their constituents, and
Be it further resolved that
Pennsylvania Farmers union urges
no vote on GATT by an unac
countable Congress in a special
“Lame Duck” session, and finally,
Be it resolved that Pennsylva
nia Farmers Union opposes this'
GATT agreement until all of the
aforementioned problems are
properly addressed.
