Com Talk, Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 29, 2000—Page
The steel products on your silos have to
be tougher than nails if they’re going to
last That’s why more dairymen trust
Lancaster silo equipment for lasting value

spreader as the best way to fill silos But

products we make If your concrete or
steel upright storage system needs parts

We use good ideas from practical
farmers like you to constantly make our
products work better and last longer
You see, with us the job is more than just
bending metal It’s using the best materials
and dedicated craftsmanship to give you
more value for every equipment dollar

tive that is much more effective, con
sistent, economic and environmental
ly sound than foliar insecticides. For
example, non-Bt hybrid sweet com can
require 12 or more insecticide applica

sales.”
Controversy over production and
use of genetically modified crop culti
vars has focused a great deal of public
attention on Bt corn. “Debate sur
rounding the use of genetically modi
fied crops should bebased on risk/bene
fit assessment including environmen
tal impacts, livestock impacts, and
potential human health threats,” said
Munkvold. “Consumers and regulatory
agencies should consider the food safe
ty and environmental implications of
Bt corn when making decisions about
its use.”
