Crop Winners Announced At Keystone Farm Show (Continued from Pago A 1) weather, there were some stress factors that affected yields. Cool weather limited grain fill in some cases. In others, stalk lodg ing was severe. A dry August for some put a “ceiling on yield per formance,” Roth wrote. Also, in the Pennsylvania Soy bean Yield Contest for 2000, the year was really good, noted John Yocum, manager of the Penn State Southeast Research Labo ratory near Landisville. The top yield was 70.58 bush • els per acre harvested by Steve and Jeff Reigel, Annville. The Reigels used Garst D 398 seed. The Reigels win a trip to the Commodity Classic for 2002.

Very winter hardy. For best results add Alee White and Cyclone Red clover. @y BARENBRUG Forages For Profit GREAT IN GRASS Also Available: B.G. 34 Ryegrass Baralfa 54 & 32-10 Alfalfa Red & Alice White Clover Chicory Bromes Timothy Reeds Canary Green Spirit Ryegrass Horsemaster Orchardgrass Kemal Festululolium Fescue Forage Soybeans Forage Oats Triticale Cereal Rye Roundup Ready variety. In general areas of the state, for some reason, soybeans did not respond the way the com did to improved weather compared to the previous year, according to Yocum. But the Landisville farm man ager noted that a big element to the contest was the use of many Roundup Ready cultivars by a great percentage of the 24 en trants. Those who harvested 60 bush els or more received a “60- bushel club” plaque. They included the top three award winners in addition to Kyle L. Henninger, Lehigh County; Jack Coleman, Lancaster County; Daryl L. Beiler, Lycom ing County; Robert E. More, Lycoming County; Eric D. Moser, Northumberland County: Floyd Kurtz, Berks County; James R.
