So it stands to rea son that the payment program will be influenced most by backfat. This isn’t by design, it’s justpart of life. Base Price Determination. Leidy’s uses Peoria, St. Louis, and Indiana direct plus SI.SO/cwt. Until recently, Leidy’s base mark et price was slightly higher than thatofHatfield. However, Hatfield recently changed to a high/low average of Indiana, Illinois, lowa and southern Minnesota plus $1.75. This change will probably narrow the difference. Company Size. Both companies pride themselves on their service to the producer and the industry. Because Leidy’s is a smaller com ROLLING ON.JN THE 90'S WfaCll YOU BUJT A You Get The Best MEETS THE CHALLENGE COMPACTION COMMANDERS NO-TILL RIPPER/DEEP RIPPER 357 Sh SIG k ED F ° R Y ° UR CONSERVATION - NEEDS to break up liardpan and compaction as deep as 20". CCD500 The standard V-shaped alloy point and wear strip leaves residue on the surface with minimal soil disturbance. Auto-rest shanks with 20" of trip height allows for non-stop tillage. Parabolic shanks lift and fracture the soil. 39" of underframe clearance assures trouble free operation even in heavy residue. LANDCOMMANDERS TAKE COMMAND OF TILLAGE PROBLEMS Brillion’s Landcommander gives you total command over the problems of compaction, soil erosion.residue management, and rough fields. The front disc gang has 22” x 1/4" disc blades on 15” spacings. They are designed to cut residue and work the ground to a depth of 6”. The Landcommander has the ability to till from 8” to 20” deep. The rear disc gang has 20” x 7 ga. disc blades on 7.5 spacing. The 6”x4” mainframe is designed to handle the stress from the deep till shanks and disc gangs. Prose pany, they are probably in a better position to provide personal ser vice to the producer. The smaller size may also enable Leidy’s to be more selective in the producers from whom they buy hogs. But both are strongly committed to the industry. Summary 1. In September 1994, Leidy’s, Inc. instituted a carcass grading program that provides an incentive to produce good quality hogs. 2. Each carcass is measured by the Hennessy optical probe that is used to predict the percentage of boneless ham, loin, and shoulder in the carcass. 3. Hogs containing more than 42 percent lean are given a bonus. Those under 42 percent are dis counted at a rate twice that of the bonuses. 3-9 Shank Pennsylvania ADAMSTOWN Adamstown Equip. Inc.
