Agriculture Secretary Charles
C. Brosius today announced that
drug testing will be instituted at the
1996 Farm Show in the market ani
mal competitions.
Brosius stressed that the testing
program may prevent some diffi
culties which have occurred in
other slates.
“While there is no evidence that
illegal drug use is a problem in
Pennsylvania, we intend to make
sure consumers know that the meat
they purchase is safe and free from
contaminants,” Brosius said. “The
purpose of this strict attention to
ethics and testing is to maintain the
integrity of these programs.”
Brosius said blood samples will
be taken from market steer and
lamb class winners at the show.

farmer.
The air conditioned driver com
partments feature tight seals
around doors and windows, a tear
window that seals tightly but can
pop open easily to adjust hydraulic
controls for operating implements,
and a roof vent
The seals are made tight so that
dust and debris laden air don’t fill
the compartment and noise is
reduced significantly. For those

destroyed and exhibitors of ani

was used will be banned perma

intended for market, and we will
take the strongest possible stance
against this and all other unethical
practices,” Brosius said.
“Our livestock shows and the
quality of the products from these
animals must be above reproach.

The controls are designed for
large hands and sensible
accessibility.
Though computerization is built
into the system, with such features
as automatic 4-wheel drive kick-in
when operating brakes, and kick
out at 9 miles per hour, when
traveling from the field out onto a
highway.
The dash and instrument panel
is designed similar to an automo

keeping the controls of the modem
technology simple and easy.
The dash shows the fuel gauge,
engine tachometer, temperature
gauge, tractor ground speed, and
PTO speed on easy to see LED
readouts.
A series of warning lights
located in a double row below the

condition of the transmission oil
filter, etc.
Each carries the Dyna Torque
engine and the option of a
32-speed Dynashift or a 16-speed
Sheedshift transmission.
They also have an optional
creeper transmission range for
extra slow operation; a new wet,
multi-disc main drive clutch and
many other features.
The 6100 series and the 8120
use Perkins engines, while the
8140.50, and 60 use a Valmet
engine, both engine renown for
reliability and efficiency.
The Autotronic computer sys
tems provides automated control
of key operating functions, while
an additional new Datatronic n
monitor is an option on the 8100
series.
