Here are the dryers for the
farmer who has more to do
at harvest time than just dry
grain.
The new CF/AB Series from
Farm Fans are designed to
allow drying by either CON
TINUOUS FLOW or AUTO
MATIC BATCH modes.
These dryers are specifically
designed for full heat appli
cation for combination drying
and dryeration. However,
when operating AUTO
MATIC BATCH, you can also
select Dry and Cool
application.

North Carolina’s children
are perhaps the commodity
com growers most want to
raise well. CGANC invests a
substantial share of its resour
ces in “growing up" a genera
tion of informed consumers.
Thanks to CGANC, many
North Carolina fourth graders
are learning about com through
the National Com Growers
Association’s (NCGA) curri
culum kit. Also, CGANC is
developing new materials to
answer the many individual
questions children call and
write into the association’s
office.
“We need to start early to
teach children about agricul
ture,” said CGANC staffer
Joyce Woodhouse. “We want
our kids to know how food gets
to the grocery store and under
stand the important contribu
tion farms make to our state's
economy.”
Year to year, in North Car
olina, educating com growers
about the need to promote their
crop is a continuing concern.
Our state is com deficient,
observes Beavers. With a ready
market, sometimes growers

With a number of programs
under way, what would be on
Beavers’ “wish list” for next
year?
•First, more market demand
for ethanol. Beavers wants
ethanol to play a strong role in
the Clean Air Act. With that
accomplished, Beavers antici
pates CGANC’s efforts to
attract an in-state ethanol pro
cessor may bear fruit.
•Second, more field days to
highlight CGANC’s commit
ment to research, such as a
major agricultural research
field day, to be held in coopera
tion with the state extension
service. Beavers would like to
see this effort expanded. The
CGANC’s 24 farmer-directors
determine which projects are
funded by the state’s one-half
cent per bushel com checkoff
program. Research to help the
com farmer lower production
costs and increase profitability
ranks high as a goal.
•Third, more dollars
invested in CGANC’s class
room education program.
Every fourth grader in every
county should know where
com comes front, believes
Beavers.
