two new models to its popular
Farmers Union Joins Call To Dispel Estate Tax Myth
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Farmers Union officials recently
joined Sens. Kent Conrad, D-
N.D., and Byron Dorgan, D-
N.D., to dispel the myth that
repeal of the estate tax will help
preserve family farms. While the
call to preserve family farms has
been the driving force behind
the repeal attempt, the estate tax
rarely applies to family farmers
7 Case IH Products Named
For ‘Outstanding Innovation’
CHAMBERSBURG (Franklin Co.)
Seven Case IH products recently were
awarded Resource magazine’s AESO
honors for outstanding innovation in agri
cultural, food and biological product and
systems technology.
“Case IH products were recognized
more than any other ag equipment manu
facturer,” said Marlin Maclay, general
manager of Chambersburg Farm Service.
Chambersburg parrq Service has been a
Case IH dealer for 31 years. The Carlisle
location has been in business for over 15
years.
Innovations making the elite list were:
• MX Series Magnum™ tractors, which
combine high performance features with
operator comfort.
• Cyclo Air® meter attachment, a
highly economical all-crop seeding system.
• SDX3O single disk no-till air drill, a
low disturbance, single-disk planting tool
that can penetrate high-residue conditions.
• 8880 self-propelled (SP) windrower
with 725 rotary disc hay header, an effi
cient and high-productivity system for hay
cutting and conditioning.
• RS “One” Series variable chamber
round balers, which use a wide pickup for
better packing on the bale sides and
cleaner capture of the windrow.
• 2000 Advanced Farming Systems
(AFS) yield monitor system, which helps
farmers keep close tabs on harvest opera
tions for improved management.
• AFS Instant Application Map™ 2000
Software, which allows farmers to create
customized input rate prescriptions for
variable-rate seed and fertilizer placement.
The prestigious AESO awards go to the
50 best products for agricultural, food, bio
logical and related systems available on
the market for the first time in 1999. Com
panies from around the world submit en
tries to the annual competition, and a
panel of international engineering experts
chooses the best products. Recipients were
featured in the summer issue of Resource,
the publication of the American Society of
Agricultural Engineers (ASAE).
“All Case IH products begin with cus
tomer input to find what is really needed
out in the field,” said Marlin Maclay. “The
engineers build tractors, implements and
software that help farmers increase their
productivity and success.”
“At CFS, we, too, are committed to
helping our customers reach the maximum
level of productivity possible through high
quality products and services.”
Resource magazine sponsors the AESO
award program to emphasize the crucial
role of new products and systems in bring
ing advanced technology to the market
place. All entries must exhibit a new
technology or advancement of a previous
technology, and have a broad impact on
the industry.

cause of the liquidation of farm
and ranch operations.
“It is simply not true that
family farms are being lost be
cause of estate tax obligations,”
said Leland Swenson, president
of the National Farmers Union.
“This is a tax break for the ex

Proponents of estate tax
repeal recently said that elimi
nation of the tax is important be
cause the tax prevents farmers
drive, Polaris Rangers are as
ideal in mud as they are in sand,
and can carry out difficult tasks,
no matter the conditions.
For hunters, the Polaris
Ranger’s large dump box and up
to 1,500 pounds of towing ca
pacity can make a successful
outing much easier and more
from passing along their opera
tions to the heirs. In reality, the
estate tax applies to very few
farms and ranches and has not
caused the liquidation of farms
as proponents suggest. Addi
tionally, the estate tax repeal
plan passed by the house, H.R.
8, would not eliminate the tax
for another 10 years.
National Farmers Union sup
ports immediately increasing
the estate tax exemption to
cover estates valued at $4 mil
lion per person, which results in
an exemption of $8 million per
couple. That level would protect
the estates of virtually every
family farm from any estate tax
hardship faced by the farmers
and small businesses.

target sees them.
“All three vehicles in the Po

for dozens of outdoor activities,”
said Mitchell Johnson, ATV

but it’s also great for dragging
an ice fishing house across a lake
or just trail riding with the
family on a weekend afternoon.
And when leisure time is over,
Polaris Ranger is always ready
to help out with the chores at
home.”
