Ag Leaders COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Cover crops during the winter months seems like a great idea for keeping farmland nutrients from leaching into the Chesapeake Bay. So why have agricultural producers been slow to adopt their use, as rec ommended in Maryland's tribu tary team plans? Recent scientific research and field experience address many of the previous cover crop limitations. So the University of Maryland's College of Agricult ure and Natural Resources has scheduled a two-day Cover Crops Conference to share these findings with agricultural, nat ural resource, and environmen tal professionals. The confer ence also will be of interest to public officials, farm and envi ronmental groups, and farmers themselves. The two-day event is sched uled March 18-19 in the Tidewater Inn at Easton. Support is being provided by the University of Maryland's Cooperative Extension Service, with supplementary financial support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Northeast Sustainable Agricul ture Research and education (SARE) program.

Farm Equipment Distributor Now EPHRATA (Lancaster Co.) - In 1938, Robert J. Hamilton saw a need for supplying local farm equipment dealers with the lat est products manufactured by mid-western factories. Moving from Pittsburgh, to Ephrata, PA in the summer of 1938, Bob Hamilton created Hamilton Equipment - a whole sale farm machinery distribu tion company. During the years of World War 11, rationing limited the products that could be manufac tured for domestic use. Times were tough for Hamilton Equipment. But the end of World War II brought prosperity and exciting growth. Bob Hamilton pio neered products such as Hom- Draulic Loaders, Champion Potato Diggers, King-Wyse Elevators, Danuser Post Hole Diggers, and Gorman-Rupp Irrigation Pumps. In times past, field demonstrations gave farmers up-close review of equipment operation 60 Years Old foot facility on Pomtview Avenue in Ephrata, PA. As sales increased during the 1950'5, Hamilton Equipment's services expanded. A full time service shop was added to assist deal ers. A fleet of trucks was pur chased to reduce freight costs. A branch warehouse was opened in Charlottesville, Virginia to service dealers in Virginia and West Virginia. As Hamilton Equipment con tinued to grow, the company moved in 1970 to a new building with 70,000 square foot of ware house space. And, a new branch warehouse with' 33,000 square foot was opened in Raphine, Virginia in 1977. The product mix changed with customer requirements. As compact tractors increased in popularity, Hamilton Equip ment introduced machines for week-end farmers and business contractors.

Services include a fully stocked parts department, com puter controlled inventory, ser vice schools for dealer mechan ics, demonstrations of new prod ucts, warranty processing, deal er financing, and regularly scheduled delivery to 1000+ dealer accounts in a six state area.
