Compost
High-Rise Layer House Compost System
The composting process eliminates methane gas and hydrogen
sulfide odors while converting manure in a pathogen-free, weed
seed-free organic product that will never revert to raw manure
The end product is a stable organic material which has retained
most of its nutrients and is no longer a breeding source for flies, bee
tles or other insects

Weather
Protect
Weed
Control for
Top Yields
Weather is
I one of the
yipj most impor
tant factors
affecting
itl Ulit M weC( j control
in corn today Dry, wet
or cold weather can lead
to erratic weed control,
especially with soil
applied herbicides
Herbert Roos and
Jim Campbell have
taken steps to weather
protect their weed con
trol by switching from
inconsistent preemcr
gcncc programs to using
a planned post program
with DuPont 1 ” Basis
Gold* herbicide They
have seen their decision
pay oft in more reliable
control of both grasses
and broadleaves —as
well as award-winning
yields in the 2000
National Corn Yield
Contest
Unlike soil-applied
herbicides. Basis Gold*
doesn't need rain to
deliver burndown con
trol of emerged grasses
and broadleaves With a
passing shower, the
residual activity kicks m
to control foxtails, water
hemp, giant ragweed,
pigweeds, velvetleaf and
lambsquarlcrs, and
helps keep fields clean
through harvest When
growers look at costs,
Basis Gold* is up to
$3 per acre less than the
leading competitive
progi am
“We have had real
good luck with Basis
Gold”,” says Roos, a
first-place yield winner
in Illinois
“It seems like the
preplant treatments will
play out, and then the
waterhemp and foxtail
come m late We haven’t
seen Basis Gold* run
out, even m years with
heavy rainfall ”
Sandbur, lambsquartcrs
and cocklcbur are
among the major weed
problems for Campbell,
who farms near Canton,
Mo Basis Gold” has
proven itself effective and
crop sate —something
that Campbell notes is
not always the case with
a precmergcnce program
“I’ve had times with a
pre-only program where
we went two to three
weeks without ram and
it never activated By
the time we got ram, the
weeds were too big to
control," says Campbell,
a third-place yield
winner m Missouri
“Basis Gold’ doesn I
atfccl the corn one bit
We can spiay corn tour
to ten inches tall, and it
just keeps on glowing
It just docs a fantastic
job ”
