Manufacturing fabric Covered steel structures since 1989 

Giant Supply USA, manufacturer of 

Diamond Shelters, is a family owned business 

located in Whitemouth, Manitoba. 

We have been designing, developing and 

manufacturing fabric covered steel structures 

since 1989. Our focus is on quality 

and service while maintaining reasonable 

prices. This starts with well trained, qualified 

staff using high quality North American 

produced steel and fabric. 

This picture is from Grant Lynch, the 

president of the International Speedway 

Corporation and chairman of the Super 

Speedway of Talladega.

SumaGrow tm is a sustainable, organic, all natural, environmentally friendly, non-GmO, nonpathogenic 

microbial “cocktail” in a base of liquid humates. SumaGrow tm has had excellent 

results on a variety of crops, in multiple soil types, increasing yield and nutrient value while 

reducing and/or eliminating fertilizer. SumaGrow tm makes the soil healthier, so it works in 

all environments. this allows crops to reach their full genetic potential, increasing crop yields, 

decreasing inputs and bio remediating the soil. SumGrow tm can also mobilize and solubilize 

phosphorus in both high and low pH environments which makes it available for plant uptake. 

ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS INCLUDE: 

• Significant Yield Increase in every crop that has been tested to date 

• Includes vegetable crops, row crops (corn, soybeans, rice, cotton, etc), forages, hay crops, 

and biofuel crops (switchgrass, cane). 

• Significant Fertilizer Reduction or elimination in all crops tested. 

• Better Germination Rates, Faster Germination, Earlier Flowering, Earlier Maturation. 

• Increased Plant Nutrient Levels - Brix, Chlorophyll, Plant Proteins and Minerals. 

• Better Stress Tolerance - Drought, Insects, Disease, Transplant, Wind. 

• Better Water Holding Capacity. 

• Prevents Fertilizer Runoff and reduces soil erosion. 

• Increases Carbon Sequestration. 

• Converts bound soil phosphorus into available phosphorus 

without

Diamond Shelters offer a number of advantages 

over conventional buildings. The 

structures allow in an abundance of natural 

lighting while blocking harmful ultraviolet 

rays. Diamond Shelters provide the most 

cost effective space for a clear span structure. 

They can be erected in a very short 

period of time, which reduces construction 

costs. As a complete building, their 

fire hazard rating is comparable to or superior. 

Because of these advantages, Diamond 

Shelters are versatile structures that 

are suited to a wide range of applications. 

They are ideal for housing livestock, dairy, 

hay or grain, and machinery storage. They 

are being used in the commercial, industrial 

and mining sectors as warehouses and 

manufacturing facilities. 

Diamond Shelters are available in sizes 

ranging from 15 feet wide to 160 feet 

wide and whatever length is required.

The SumaGrow treated portion is 

treated with SumaGrow only and no 

other inputs. Mr. Lynch was so pleased 

with how it looked that he was excited 

about sharing these results with other 

farmers and ranchers. - 

with 

sumagrow 

The Single Hoop shelters, 15 feet to 38 

feet wide, have a rafter made of a single 

structural tube. The Welded Truss shelters, 

28 feet to 160 feet wide, have a rafter 

with a truss design. Both types of shelters 

have Ponywall, Freestanding and High 

Profile Models. 

The tubing used in the structures is 

made of North American produced steel 

with yield and tensile strengths that allow 

the structures to withstand heavy stress 

loads. The steel can be powder coated 

with a variety of different colors. The 

steel structures are covered with a fabric 

made of a weave of double stacked, high 

density polyolefin slit tapes, also produced 

in North America. The covers come in a 

number of different colors. 

Diamond Shelters offer customization 

of their structures. Some of the alterations 

that have been done include end

L & S Farm Supply 

“the Latest in Cattle fly Control” 

In 2012, the ultimate fly control 

system for cattle called “The Terminator” 

was released for sale by L&S 

Farm Supply. 

This innovative piece of equipment 

was field tested on a cattle farm in 

east central Minnesota in 2011. The 

study consisted of 100 head of Angus 

cattle and yielded results that astounded 

the designers and the farmer 

beyond anticipated expectations. The 

weaning weights averaged 55 pounds 

heavier over the previous fall weights 

when the bull calves were sold off. 

By mostly eliminating the fly and pest 

problems the cattle faced on a daily 

basis, they expended significantly 

less energy maintaining comfort levels 

adding dollars to their marketable 

weight. These weights were significant 

enough that they elicited curiosity 

from the local stockyard, as they 

were some of the best spring calves 

that had been through that year! 

This patented design is the perfect 

solution for any farm or ranch. The 

Terminator’s heavy-duty construction 

will withstand rubbing, kicking and 

leaning and the thick rubber tray will 

resist deterioration from exposure 

to the elements. Forklift openings 

designed right into the body allow 

a tractor or skid-loader to move the 

equipment to any pasture. The Terminator 

is solar powered so it never 

needs an electrical outlet. The Terminator 

is built with heavy gage steel 

and durable powder coating for years 

of trouble free service. 

The on-board electronics will sense 

each cow as it visits the mineral tray. 

The motion of the animal triggers the 

light misting of insecticide, which is 

applied evenly across the back and 

neck of the animal. The Terminator is 

also fitted with three outriggers, which 

allow the misting of other cattle in the 

immediate vicinity congregating to 

use the mineral tray. 

The Terminator comes with a comprehensive 

assembly and operations 

manual and two people with minimal 

tools can assemble the unit in less than 

one hour. Each Terminator comes with 

a single bottle of concentrated insecticide 

that mixes with water to yield 

hundreds of gallons of effective control. 

A farm or ranch with 100 head of 

cattle can expect to control flies and 

other pest insects for approximately 

$60.00 each grazing season. 

The Terminator is an absolute must 

for any cattle rancher or farmer. It 

will eliminate flies and ticks PERI- 

OD! Start reducing your overhead 

costs and increasing your profits today 

and call for a quote – multiple 

unit discounts apply. If you have 

any questions feel free to contact us

Berry farmer recognized 

By: Margaret Fogarty, 

Farm Credit 

In celebration of the Farm Credit System’s 

95th anniversary, Farm Credit is 

recognizing agricultural producers 

through the Producing Excellence program. 

Using a series of customer profiles, 

Farm Credit is highlighting 95 

successful farmers and ranchers during 

its 95th anniversary year. 

Jimmy Carter operates Southern 

Belle Farms in McDonough, GA. He 

was selected to be featured as one of 

Farm Credit’s profiles because of his 

diversification and innovation. 

Jimmy is a sixth generation farmer 

and long-time board member of Ag- 

South Farm Credit, joined his father 

and uncle on the family farm in the 

1970s. Over two decades later, Jimmy 

has transitioned from the dairy busi- 

for excellence 

ness to the feed business, and over 

the next several years, expanded further 

into beef cattle and hay. Jimmy 

wasn’t done diversifying though – he 

established an artificial insemination 

business in the 1970s, which has since 

evolved to primarily providing insemination 

supplies to local farmers. 

Jimmy is not alone in his drive for 

diversification. His wife, Kathy, built 

a successful catering business, Farm 

House Catering, which she sold two 

years ago to a long-time employee. 

Their son, Jake, started bringing new 

ideas to the farm soon after college: he 

planted a “pick-your-own” strawberry 

operation on two acres, which was 

so successful he later expanded the 

strawberry acreage and added blueberries 

and blackberries on an additional 

two acres. This winter they are adding 

peach trees to the operation. 

Perhaps one of Jake’s biggest diversification 

efforts was opening the 

farm for agri-tourism in 2005, a business 

that has grown to host several 

thousand visitors in a single weekend. 

In addition to activities including a 

petting zoo, pedal bike track and corn 

cannon, the Carter’s create an intricate 

corn maze each year. In 2008, their 

maze gained national attention on 

ESPN when the local college sports 

announcer featured in the maze announced 

his retirement. Their 2011 

maze focused on breast cancer awareness. 

Southern Belle Farm is also an 

event center, hosting large and small 

groups for everything from children’s 

parties to corporate events and weddings, 

up to 1,000 guests at a single 

event. The farm also has a passion 

✓ Soil Testing 

✓ Irrigation Scheduling 

✓ Feed Analysis 

✓ Contract Research 

Agricultural Consulting & Testing 

✓ Tissue Testing 

✓ Pest Management 

✓ Field Research 

✓ Grid Sampling – Variable Rate Fertilization 

for providing educational opportunities 

for school children where they 

see a cow being milked, pick cotton, 

strawberries, and pumpkins, and many 

other farm activities. 

In the Carter’s latest development, 

they’ve expanded their agri-tainment 

operation through the Christmas holidays, 

now selling fir trees, decorations 

and wreaths and offering hay ride tours 

of the farm. This expansion effectively 

makes the Southern Belle Farm 

a year-round agri-tainment facility, 

providing a consistent income stream 

for this innovative family. 

As for the future, Jimmy says, “Looking 

back, it’s hard to imagine how we 

got to where we are today. Looking 

forward, who knows what we’ll be doing 

next. It’s exciting to see the potential 

we have.” -

Staheli West, Inc. 

Make dew, Make Hay, Make Money 

DewPoint 6110, Owners Talk/Steam Dew Simulation 

Doug Whitney, Hay Farmer in Roswell, 

New Mexico purchased a Dew- 

Point 6110 in the fall of 2010 which 

he used this past season, and a second 

machine which was delivered in 

September 2011 and has teamed them 

up with two AGCO 7444 4x4 balers. 

“This machine, I really believe is going 

to change the way we put up hay in 

New Mexico” says Doug, it is a very 

practical alternative for us. Instead of 

having to get up and check hay in the 

middle of the night, we just wait until 

the afternoon sun gets lower in the sky 

and start in baling.” 

Doug continues, “It’s been a real 

Godsend this year to be able to have 

this kind of technology because there 

have been a lot of nights this year that 

we had no dew at all. It’s not magic but 

it sure helps the condition we can put up 

hay in and make it a lot better feed.” 

Perry Van Tassel, Hay Farmer 

and Dairyman said, “After baling 

with this machine, I NEVER want to 

bale without it again.” Perry received 

his new DewPoint 6110 (Pictured on 

this page) in May 2011 and used it exclusively 

with his MF Hesston 2190 

4x4 Cutter Baler to bale all the hay on 

his 2,200 acre farm in Paul, Idaho this 

year. “This machine paid for itself in 

my 3rd cutting alone. I had only three 

hours of decent dew during the whole 

crop but I baled every day. The last 

day I baled and hauled the last of my 

hay into the barn and it started raining 

the very next day. I could have never 

gotten it up in time with natural dew.” 

Don Roberts, Hay Farmer and 

Dairyman operates 3,500 acres with 

his father, Gordon and son Ben, in 

the Parowan Valley in Southern Utah. 

Don bought his first DewPoint 6110 

machine in the fall of 2010 and operated 

it with one of his MF Hesston 2170 

3x4 balers through the 2011 season. 

While his first machine was being 

built Don used a neighbor’s Dew- 

Point 6110 in the 2010 season to bale 

his 2nd crop hay that had been rained 

on. “Hay prices were tough that year 

but it turned $80 feeder hay into $110 

hay that cutting. I got $30/ton more 

for that hay than I would have without 

the ‘steamer’ and I had enough tons of 

that kind of hay that the increase in the 

value of that one crop paid for my new 

DewPoint machine.” 

Don purchased a second machine 

this year which his father Gordon 

proudly operates alongside Don or 

Ben now. Don says, “We pull into a 

pivot now with the two machines and 

we are finished in two hours. We can 

keep doing that as long as we want to 

each day but my objective is to bale 

500 acres each day with the two Dew- 

Point machines. These machines have 

taken the pressure off from the baling 

operation completely”. 

Staheli West, Inc. president Dave 



Staheli says, “Interest in this patented 

technology is building quickly. We 

have been blessed with direction in 

every aspect of our business from the 

beginning. Our aim is to help many 

Hay Farmers in return through the 

years ahead.” For Information call

Progressive graziers will appreciate 

the quality of this PolyBraid. Because 

the filaments are protected by 

the braided configuration, there is 

far less chance of broken filaments. 

Unlike a twisted polywire where 

the flow of energy stops at a break, 

the flow of energy in the PolyBraid 

would be picked up again when 

other filaments are crossed. This is 

an unparalleled product at a very affordable 

price. 

Another product unique to PowerFlex 

Fence is the superior quality, 

hi-tensile woven wire with fixed 

lock knot. It is 12.5-gauge hi-tensile 

wire, minimum 180,000 psi 

breaking strength, with outstanding 

quality coating. Guaranteed 

rust resistant for at least 30 years, it 

can be fully electrified. The price 

is a pleasant surprise as well. It is 

perfect for keeping livestock in and 

predators out!

TOWNER, ND – I was honored 

to give the Memorial Day address in 

West Fargo, ND, at the Veterans of 

Foreign Wars Arthur W. Jones Post 

7564. It was a day of remembrance 

and gratitude, and the hall was filled 

with veterans, families and citizens 

ranging in age from young children to 

our greatest generation. 

I’ve always found a lot of meaning 

in the Memorial Day programs I’ve attended 

in towns both large and small 

across North Dakota. Whenever I speak 

at one, I have to admit to the listeners 

that I’m humbled by the invitation to 

speak because I’m not actually a veteran 

myself, but I was raised by and around a 

lot of humble veterans in my family. 

They were part of what I call my 

family fortune. Our family fortune 

didn’t lie in stocks and bonds or pieces 

of gold and silver, it was a fortune of 

Family Fortune 

More Valuable Than Gold 

people and personalities who would 

gather around the kitchen table to recount 

stories, not coins. 

I always felt particularly fortunate 

because I was one of the very few in my 

age group who was raised by a father 

who was a combat veteran of World 

War Two. The secret to that circumstance 

was only that Dad waited until 

he was 37 to marry and was 48 years 

old when I was born. So while some of 

my generation might have had a grandfather 

who served in WWII, I had a father 

who was in the Philippines, New 

Guinea and the Japanese occupation. 

I also had a bunch of uncles who 

served and fought in that war. Of the 

six uncles I had on my mother’s side of 

the family, five of them were a part of 

the war. Everyone who could serve, did 

serve. Their service ranged from North 

Africa, Italy, the Battle of the Bulge, the 

Aleutian Islands Campaign, the Pacific 

Theatre, the Merchant Marines and the 

Norwegian Resistance Army. 

Some of their areas of service are 

not so well known. The Aleutian Islands 

of the Alaska Territory actually 

had foreign occupiers on American 

soil. The Merchant Marines were in 

charge of supplying the war effort and 

had the highest percentage of war related 

deaths of any branch of service. 

One in 26 mariners aboard ships died 

in the line of duty. The Norwegian Resistance 

was the service of a teenaged 

Norwegian who would later marry my 

aunt when he came to America. The 

little known Norwegian Resistance was 

a story of underground guerilla fighting 

and sabotage, and deserves the credit 

for crippling Germany’s nuclear program 

as Axis and Ally raced to build 

the first atomic weapon. 

I learned a lot when these uncles and 

veterans gathered around our kitchen 

table and talked of the Depression, the 

war, the homecoming and the lives 

they led. Like a lot of veterans, they 

were often most content in silence of 

what they had seen and experienced 

half a world away from their farms, 

ranches and homes. 

But you would catch the occasional 

reminiscence of some humor or cama- 

raderie they shared with fellow soldiers 

in their worldly adventure. And, 

on other occasions, I would catch a 

small glimpse of the sadness and trauma 

that still haunted some of them, 

like my Dad, even fifty years after 

he came home from the fighting and 

the dying. I knew then that not every 

wound of war bleeds or leaves a scar 

that we can see. Some are the wounds 

we cannot see, but they are painful 

wounds just the same and deserve our 

care and compassion. 

That’s why Memorial Day is observed, 

not celebrated. That’s why we 

gathered on that day to remember the 

soldiers who never came home. We 

realize that wars, even when won, are 

still about loss for many families and 

for our close knit communities. 

God bless the soldiers lost and the 

families who mourn them, and God 

bless the veterans of every conflict who 

are with us still.

educing Operator fatigue, And Boosting Comfort 

the spraCoupe 7660 makes it easy For applicators to get in the Field and Work Long hours 

One of the many features on the SpraCoupe 7660 is its “flex frame” design, which enhances the machine’s ability to traverse rough terrain, maintain 

wheel contact and soften the ride of the operator. 

With more and more hours spent applying 

crop protection products, producers 

should be looking at features that 

improve operator comfort in their sprayers. 

Improving operator comfort was a 

significant goal in the recent SpraCoupe 

7660 enhancements. 

And, those significant changes have 

helped the 700-gallon sprayer gain numerous 

industry awards for innovation. 

“It’s an evolution to a bigger machine,” 

says Joel Krause, SpraCoupe 

sales engineer for AGCO. “Farming 

practices have changed and farms have 

gotten larger.” 

And, while improving operator comfort 

and reducing fatigue are always important, 

they’ll be essential factors in the 

upcoming spring, as tighter application 

windows could add significant hours in 

the sprayer. 

“Operators are spending up to 16 

hours per day in these machines, and 

they are almost becoming second 

homes,” Krause says. “We updated the 

suspension to soften the ride, improve 

operator comfort and lengthen the life 

of the machine.” 

For applicators that are looking for 

a more comfortable ride, the Spra- 

Coupe offers that and more. The design 

of the 7660 incorporates an improved 

front and rear suspension, new 

joystick controls, an extendable axle 

and a Tier III engine. 

Updates include: 

New, more flexible suspension that 

is designed to reduce the left-right roll

of the machine. The new “flex frame” 

design enhances the machine’s ability 

to traverse rough terrain, maintain 

wheel contact and soften the ride of 

the operator. 

Quieter cab using sound-absorbing 

materials and the new Tier III Perkins 

diesel engines have reduced noise levels 

by 4.2 decibels. 

Flotation tires lighten the footprint 

on early, damp field conditions and help 

widen the spraying window. 

New boom suspension smoothes 

boom ride and delivers improved application 

accuracy and consistency. 

The 7660 SpraCoupe also carries 

on the brand’s 40 year tradition as a 

light-footed, maneuverable sprayer 

that can get into a field faster than 

almost any other machine on the 

market. This makes Spra-Coupe the 

sprayer of choice for many producers 

for timely, accurate application of 

crop protection products. -

Us senate passes Farm Bill 

that Cuts subsidies 

By Jim Abrams, AP Wire Service 

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Senate completed a 

five-year, half-trillion-dollar farm bill that cuts farm 

subsidies and land conservation spending by about 

$2 billion a year but largely protects sugar growers. 

The vote was 65-34. The measure now goes to the 

Republican-led House where conservatives are certain 

to resist its costs. 

Eighty percent of the farm bill supports a program 

of food subsidies that benefit some 46 million poor 

and low income families. 

Farm subsidies often become a stumbling block in 

international trade negotiations. Developing countries 

say the subsidies drive down prices reducing the income 

they derive when these nations sell their products. 

While transforming the subsidy system, the Senate 

left intact the sugar program that for some 80 years 

has protected beet and sugarcane growers and sugar 

refiners by controlling prices and limiting imports. 

The program is opposed by consumer groups and 

food and beverage companies that use sugar. They 

say it drives up costs and leads to confectioners relocating 

overseas. Amendments to either phase out 

or narrow the scope of the sugar program both failed 

on close votes. 

While overall spending on programs covered by the 

bill has climbed because more people are receiving 

help buying food, the committee head, Sen. Debbie 

Stabenow, a Democrat, and the top Republican, Sen. 

Pat Roberts, said the bill would save $23 billion over 

the next 10 years compared with spending under the 

current farm bill that expires in September. 

That comes from replacing four farm commodity 

subsidy programs with one, consolidating 23 

conservation programs into 13. The biggest change 

comes from eliminating direct payments to farmers 

whether they plant crops or not. The program, 

which costs about $5 billion a year, has lost much of 

its support at a time of $1 trillion federal deficits and 

when farmers in general are prospering. 

The bill also prevents farm “managers,” often 

wealthy people who may not live or work on a farm, 

from receiving subsidy payments and gives greater 

help to fruit and vegetable producers and healthy food 

programs. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack praised 

the Senate bill for making progress toward “providing 

a reformed safety net for producers in times of needs,” 

supporting agriculture research, conserving natural 

resources, strengthening local food systems and promoting 

jobs. He expressed hope the House “will produce 

a bill with those same goals in mind.” 

Rep. Frank Lucas, the Republican chairman of the 

House Agriculture Committee, said that while there 

will be differences between the House and Senate approaches, 

“I hope my colleagues are encouraged by 

this success.” His committee is scheduled to meet on 

July 11 to vote on a House version of the bill. - 



e-Kay enterprises Ltd. 

George Ekman started making 

many different things for the farm 

when he and his wife, Joan were 

farming. They farmed for many 

years in the Coronation district and 

then moved to the Killam district in 

Alberta. The Ekmans’ had two grain 

augers and two 3 ton trucks at the 

time, so at harvest time when one was 

on the road home to be unloaded the 

other one was being filled. 

Joan hauled the grain while George 

ran the combine. However, when the 

two bins were full George would have 

to shut the combine down, go home 

and move the augers. The solution 

was to make the augers self-propelled 

so Joan could move them. 

Necessity is the mother of invention 

and so the E-Kay Mover came into existence. 

The thought was, if the Ekmans’ 

needed a self-propelled auger, 

so would every other farmer. In the 

fall of 1984 the self-propelled auger 

went to the first trade show in Red 

Deer, Alberta. It was the laughing 

stock of the show. Who in the world 

would need a self-propelled auger? 

The fall of 1986 was wet and all 

the grain was taken off tough or 

damp. Ekman had a grain dryer 

and he dried grain all winter for his 

neighbors. Nobody had a bin sweep, 

so again necessity was the mother of 

invention and the E-Kay Bin Sweep 

was invented. 

By the next summer George had 

built six sweeps and they all sold. The 

thought was, if the neighbors would 

buy them, then the world would. So a 

young farm boy was hired and sweeps 

were built all winter and sold. The 

summer of 1987 the Ekmans’ went to 

the Western Farm Progress Show in 

Regina and sold eight auger movers 

and ten bin sweeps. 

The farming business in the 80’s 

was not good and E-Kay Manufacturing 

did not make enough to survive, so 

the farm land was turned back to farm 

credit, the machinery was sold, bills 

paid, and the Ekmans’ moved to town. 

They rented a small shop and house 

and went to work. It wasn’t long before 

E-Kay was a profitable business. 

Things went well until September 

17, 1999 at 2:15 a.m. when a fire 

broke out in the shop and it burned to 

the ground. The Pastor was there and 

he asked George, “what will you do 

now?” Ekman replied, “the Lord giveth 

and the Lord taketh away, blessed 

be the Name of the Lord. We will 

carry on.” 

George and Joan rented a shop out

Midwest Bio-Tech, Inc. 

enzyme increases Livestock Profits Without toxins 

Last year, Midwest Bio-Tech, Inc. of Erie, 

Illinois, began its fourth decade of providing 

non-toxic enzyme products for agriculture, 

including the complete line of Chandler Livestock 

Products. The main livestock product 

is Biobase Rumen, which is an enzyme-based 

feed additive that multiplies the beneficial 

digestive microorganisms in the rumen. The 

product works to increase feed digestion and 

nutrient absorption, which helps to reduce 

feeding costs and to improve the daily rate of 

gain in beef cattle and other ruminant meat 

animals. The treated animals tend to exhibit 

fewer health problems and are less susceptible 

to stress while on the feed, and the market-ready 

animals will have more lean muscle 

with a higher dressing percentage. Biobase 

Rumen may also be fed to dairy cattle, and the 

product helps to increase milk daily production, 

improve protein and butterfat content, 

and reduce sematic cell counts. The product 

may be mixed with farm-raised or commercial 

feeds, and the recommended feeding rate is 3 

to 4 cc’s (0.10 to 0.13 ounces) per head per 

day for animals over 400 pounds. The dosage 

rate is slightly lower for smaller animals 

like sheep and goats or for newborn cattle and 

calves. Biobase Rumen does not contain any 

drugs or live biological cultures and the ingredients 

are non-toxic and natural, so a withdrawal 

period is not required after use. 

Chandler also manufactures Biocat 3000, 

which is a liquid enzyme treatment for manure 

pits and lagoons. The product multiplies the 

bacteria and other microbes that break down 

manure solids so that more of the waste sediment 

that accumulates in pits or lagoons may 

be pumped as a liquid. Over time, Biocat 

3000 will help to break down and liquify all 

manure solids, which allows you to utilize the 

full capacity of the pit or lagoon. The speed 

of product performance depends on the initial 

level of microbial life in the manure system, 

but a significant impact is typically observed 

within a few weeks after the first treatment. 

For example, in one of the first product trials 

on a dairy farm, the amount of remaining solids 

in a million-gallon manure pit was cut in 

half (from 30 inches to 15 inches) in just 21 

weeks. Biocat 3000 also helps to reduce manure 

odor by decreasing ammonia emissions, 

and the observed decline has exceeded 60 

percent in some cases. Finally, Biocat 3000 

makes more of the manure nutrients available 

for crops when applied to farmland. In one 

test, the nitrogen (nitrate) content of dairy 

manure increased by 80 percent in the first 

month after the initial treatment. 

Biocat 3000 should be applied to the remaining 

manure solids after each time the 

pit or lagoon is pumped. The recommended 

application rate is one gallon for each 10,000 

gallons of non-liquid manure or solid waste 

sediment that cannot be pumped, and each gallon 

should be diluted with at least 10 gallons 

of water. To calculate the capacity of a storage 

tank in gallons, we can compute the number of 

cubic feet in the storage system and multiply 

by 7.5 gallons of manure per cubic foot. For 

example, a circular manure storage tank with 

a 60-foot diameter will have about 20,000 gallons 

per foot of depth. If there are two feet 

of manure solids in the tank, the initial treatment 

requires about 4 gallons of Biocat 3000 

diluted in 40 gallons of water.

Ubly direct Bean Harvesting 

Bean growers using direct harvesting 

of dry edible beans with the sickle cutting 

header are losing about 11 percent of their 

beans. Some of them are the riper and larger 

beans. Taking the Michigan harvested 

yield of 22 bags (the actual yield was 24 

bags) and at $49 per hundredweight, that 

equals $120 lost per acre. 

North Dakota bean acreage in 2011 was 

410,000 with an average bean seed loss 

of 11%. They lost $28,728,700 worth of 

beans in the ground plus the overhead cost 

which are all bottom line profit losses. 

The Ubly direct harvesting of dry edible 

bean concept has been designed, invented 

and patented by John J. Misico of Ubly, 

Michigan. This method eliminates all bean 

seed losses caused by the direct harvest 

sickle cutter header now used because the 

sickle cutter bar is eliminated. 

The Ubly hard-faced, self sharpening 

bean knives are bolted to the patented 

mount which is bolted to the header. The 

knives sever the bean plant stalk one to two 

inches underground and 12 inches ahead of 

the header, thus taking less than 1/2 second 

for the bean plants to be laid on the header 

and augured to the combine. 

There is no need for a $10,000 wind reel. 

The existing reel will perform sufficiently. 

The wind reel air can split open dryer pods 

causing earlier harvest termination. 

There is no need to purchase a $25,000 

header, since the existing grain or soybean 

header can have the Ubly system attached 

to the grain header. With the Ubly system 

the bottom of the header is raised about 

three inches above ground level. There is 

no need to roll the stones into the ground. 

Rolling restricts cultivation to control 

weeds, needing more chemicals and the 

packed soil causes rain run off. Cultivated 

loose soil absorbs more rain and insulates 

root areas from excessive heat. All these 

benefits increase yields and aids in bean 

knife undercutting with its hilled soil. 

Bush type beans out yield upright beans 

which are being developed to reduce seed 

losses with the direct harvest sickle cutter 

header. Bush beans give more shade to retard 

weed sprouting and growth, and reduces 

moisture evaporation. Most bean growers on 

seeing the Ubly Direct Bean Harvest display 

at the Michigan Bean Day in Saginaw said 

they would convert to it after it was tested. 

I plan to have some bean growers from 

the Michigan Thumb area help test the Ubly 

System during this bean harvest season, in 

their field with their equipment. I will furnish 

all of the Ubly direct harvest material 

needed and, if necessary, some finances. 

To become involved with these tests to 

revolutionize bean harvesting and increase 

profits or for more information, please

einke Manufacturing Launches reinke design Pro, Version ii 

Deshler, NE - Reinke ® Manufacturing, 

Inc., a leading manufacturer of mechanized 

irrigation systems, announces the release 

of Reinke Design Pro, Version II. Reinke 

worked closely with Ag Connections, Inc., 

a Kentucky-based crop management software 

design company, to develop this new 

version of proposal software. The program 

features a custom design to incorporate 

Reinke products, and will allow Reinke 

dealers to geo-target a grower’s property 

where they are interested in installing an 

irrigation system and develop customized 

field options. 

“We are excited to release the new Reinke 

Design Pro, Version II software to our 

dealer network,” said Cody Bailey, sales 

and marketing support specialist, Reinke 

Manufacturing. “Growers can now actually 

visualize their field and see how our Reinke 

products will work to optimize their yield 

and maximize water coverage. It’s a great 

tool for our dealers to have available.” 

“Reinke Design Pro Version II was a 

challenging project,” said Andrés Ferreyra, 

Ph.D., manager of special projects for Ag 

Connections. “Making the software solve 

the necessary math fast enough for a pleasant 

user experience was very difficult. I 

think Reinke dealers have a unique tool as a 

result of our collective efforts, and it’s built 

on a state-of-the art software platform that 

will provide many years of service.” 

Reinke Design Pro, Version II is currently 

the only software of its kind available 

on the market. Its complex math- 

ematical algorithms work with USDA 

high-resolution georeferenced aerial images 

to place pivots and accessories on top 

of the exact piece of land that a grower is 

considering for an irrigation system. 

With the help of the program, growers 

can see the precise location and how a 

Reinke center pivot, lateral move, swing 

arm corner, drop span or wrap span would 

perform on their property. The software is 

able to show the preciseness of such Reinke 

equipment within an inch. Reinke dealers 

are then able to create a customized report 

for the grower showing what options are 

best for their field. 

“Reinke Design Pro, Version II is going 

to help growers make the right decision 

about what Reinke product will work 

in their field and increase their overall returns,” 

said Bailey. “The program, coupled 

with our dealers’ knowledge, will ensure 

the grower gets the best fit for that field.” 

Additionally with this new program, the 

Reinke dealer is able to go out to the field with 

a handheld GPS system and turn the detailed 

report into a survey ready project. “Reinke 

Design Pro Version II is not only a proposal 

software program; when it’s coupled with the 

GPS survey, we are able to get the survey 

done and that pivot on the ground in the right 

place at the right time,” added Bailey. 

To learn more about Reinke Design Pro, 

Version II, visit your local Reinke dealer.

Pittsburgh Power, Inc. 

High fuel Mileage engines Along With A great running engine! 

by Bruce Mallinson 

Freightliner Coronados with the DD5 515 

hp. engine have very restrictive mufflers under 

the cab. This muffler has the exhaust coming 

in the front and out the front sides of the muffler 

to the dual stacks on the side of the cab. 

Now if your Coronado has a single stack up 

the back of the bunk, then this is a totally different 

muffler. Back to the Coronado with the 

stacks up the sides: If you stood this muffler 

on end, it would look like a human body with 

the head and arms and legs cut off, so we call 

this the “Little Man Muffler”. This was designed 

by Pete Sharp, our vice-president, and 

we are seeing 1/2-3/4 mpg improvement just 

by changing to this Little Man Muffler. Ed 

Hess, out of Idaho and one of the participants 

at the owner-operator snowmobile conference, 

just installed one on his Coronado and loved 

the performance and fuel mileage gain, which 

is right in there at 3/4 mpg. When we are 

working on a truck to improve the fuel mileage 

and performance, we always start with the 

muffler. Stock mufflers are ultra quiet and 

extremely high on back pressure (restrictive), 

which robs the engine of fuel mileage and 

produces extra soot in the engine because it 

can’t get out of the muffler. Our “Little Man” 

will also keep your oil cleaner by reducing 

the back pressure in the exhaust system. An 

increase in the engine’s performance is also a 

likely result of the change in the muffler. 

Big Cam Cummins: Even though these engines 

are old, they’re what we learned on, so we 

still keep most of the parts in stock. So if you 

are in need of Big Cam Cummins parts, give us 

a call: We just might have the part you are looking 

for. Because of the computer age, if a part 

doesn’t sell every month, most truck dealers, engine 

dealers, and parts stores will not keep that 

part in inventory. We are a little old fashioned, 

even old school, and like to have what others 

don’t. And we appreciate your business! 

Lucas Oil is at it again, meaning they are 

developing a lot of new products that do exactly 

what they say they will do. I just purchased 

their Octane Booster which is NOT STREET 

LEGAL, so it must be good, and according 

to Forrest will raise the 93 octane fuel to 96.3 

octane. I have a 2009 Harley with the 110 cu. 

in. engine and it pings while pulling a hill, so 

I installed the Lucas Octane Booster and yes 

the ping is gone! Forrest also told me he now 

has Hot Rod Oil, so I asked him what makes 

an oil Hot Rod Oil. Forrest says: “Zinc was 

removed out of today’s oil because of catalytic 

converters, and it was the zinc that lubricates 

the metal-to-metal surfaces such as flat tappet 

cam and lifters.” Interesting: I remember 

when the zinc was removed and there were a 

lot of camshaft failures. So I called two old 

friends of mine from my racecar days, Chuck 

Dinunzio of B & R Speed in Verona, PA and 

Rich Mercaldi, who is a Nascar engine builder 

and they agreed that when a flat tappet cam is 

installed in a gasoline engine, it’s coated with 

zinc phosphate additive to aid in the breaking 

in of the cam and lifter. So, if you have an 

older gasoline engine with a flat tappet camshaft, 

you need to use an oil with zinc such as 

Lucas Hot Rod Oil. 

Scheduling work to be performed at our shop 

in Saxonburg, PA: We are scheduling large jobs 

for the month of January, so we are booked for 

6 months. However, Pete Sharp, our vice-president 

calls everyone on Wednesday the week before 

to remind you of the work you are to have 

done. Many times we get one or two cancellations 

a week because the schedule is so full. 

Now we DO realize that many of you can’t wait 

6 months to get your truck worked on, but if you 

call us on Thursday or Friday and ask if we have 

any cancellations for next week, chances are we 

will be able to get you into our shop. We are 

currently in the process of adding 10,000 square 

feet of garage and engineering space to our existing 

building. It will be ready in late August. 

By doubling our shop space, we hope to be able

“Pedal-Mashing”: I have noticed that some 

owner-operators just push the throttle to the 

floor starting out and after every shift and 

even up-shift at 1300 and 1400 RPM, grabbing 

a full gear and mashing the throttle at 900 

RPM, expecting the ECM to take care of their 

reckless driving habits. Now, these usually 

happen to be people who’ve NEVER driven a 

performance mechanical diesel engine. Here 

is the problem: When you have us re-program 

your ECM to make it responsive and pull, 

well it will OF COURSE put out some smoke 

when you mash it to the floor at low RPMs. It 

takes fuel to make response and you need to 

just ease onto the throttle. It’s the old theory 

of driving like you have an egg between your 

foot and the throttle. -

Ambraco 

Announces new tamatec+ tM feature to John 

deere Brand net Wrap - Hi-UV Protection 

By Mike Bieber, 

Marketing Director 

AMBRACO is pleased to introduce 

the new TamaTec+ TM feature 

to John Deere brand Net Wrap. 

This new feature will be available 

in Edge to Edge and CoverEdge 

John Deere net wrap. 

TamaTec+ TM is a combination of 

innovations in the formula of the 

basic polymer group and the manufacturing 

process of the net. These 

two advancements combined allow 

more feet of net to be wound onto 

the roll without adding weight or 

changing the physical dimensions 

of the roll. The end result is more 

time baling and less time loading 

wrap into the baler. 

AMBRACO introduced the XXL 

version of John Deere Edge to Edge 

and John Deere CoverEdge three 

years ago. The longer length rolls 

has proven to be the “choice” of 

the end user because a lower cost 

per bale is realized. 

For the 2012 use season the following 

sizes will be available: 

TamaTec+ TM 

67 Inch JD CoverEdge 9,000 Feet 


64 Inch JD Edge to Edge 9,700 Feet 


XXL 





The new TamaTec+ TM feature is 

easily distinguished by the solid wide 

green stripe on the right hand end of 

the roll. This new Zebra stripe pattern 

on the roll has been altered to make 

it easier to identify which direction 

the bale was rolled to make unrolling 

easier when feeding. Of course, the 

wide stripe is always installed with 

the wide stripe to the right hand side 

of the baler in the direction of travel. 

This helps the operator make sure 

that when handling the roll that the 

roll is positioned properly for installation 

into the baler. 

Additional improvements to the 

“handle system” make it easier to 

remove the handles without using a 

knife. A simple “twist” of the end of 

the handle strip unlocks the handle. 

When buying net ALWAYS check 

the length of the roll to make sure 

that a comparative purchase is being 

made. As usual, at the end of 

the day it is not about the price of 

the roll but how many feet are on 

the roll and how many bales can be 

made with one roll.

Medi-Dart Inc. 

20 years Of Making your Medication go farther 

Twenty years ago we developed the 

Medi-Dart to treat our own pasture 

cattle. We had sick and sore animals 

in pastures with no corrals. We were 

encouraged to produce the Medi-Dart 

commercially to help local cattlemen 

with the same problem. Here we are 

20 years later still producing, marketing 

and distributing Medi-Darts with 

just the two inventors and one long 

time employee. We still use the darts 

on our farm and still ask the neighbors 

and our customers for input on 

changes we have made to the product. 

We listen to our clients and count 

on their feedback. Satisfying our 

customers continues to be number 1. 

When you phone Medi-Dart you can 

count on fast, friendly service and the 

best advice twenty years of darting 

cattle can offer. 

The COMPLETELY REUSABLE 

Medi-Dart syringe gives an intramuscular 

or subcutaneous injection using 

air pressure, provided by a simple air 

pump. There is no cost per shot. The 

injection, up to 30 cc, is completed in 

a few seconds (approx. 10cc per sec). 

As the plunger finishes the injection 

it pushes out an ejector loop, around 

the needle, releasing the syringe from 

the animal. The syringe falls to the 

ground, that animal has been medicated. 

Sound easy? It is. 

Medi-Dart offers three styles suitable 

for any operation. The Extension 

Medi-Dart gives the producer a 6 foot 

or the NEW 10 foot reach. The Bow 

and Arrow Medi-Dart uses a 30 pound 

recurve bow. The Crossbow Medi-

The best of 

iT’s The PiTTs 

by lee Pitts 

On the first day of my nephew’s annual 

summer visit I decked him out in 

his jeans and boots, and put him up on 

my horse, Gentleman. We had to bring 

in a cow to send to the auction. “What 

do you want for your birthday?” I 

asked as we road along. “Do you want 

money or a toy?” 

“I want a stuffed animal,” replied 

Scott. “Wouldn’t you really rather 

have some money?” 

Scott replied, “Old people sleep with 

money, kids sleep with teddy bears.” 

Did I mention that Scott is a pretty 

bright child? 

Against the wishes of his parents, 

I am trying to make a cowboy out of 

Scott. I asked, “What do you want to 

be when you grow up?” “I want to be 

twelve,” answered Scott. 

Kids worry a lot about how old they 

are. In that respect they are like women, 

always fudging when asked about their 

age. Kids exaggerate on the upside and 

women on the downside. Ask a three 

year old how old he is and he will hold 

up four fingers. Ask a woman how old 

she is and she’ll hold up five fingers, 

and then slap you with them. 

As we struggled up a steep hill Scott 

asked how old Gentleman was. 

“He’s eleven,” I replied. 

“Will I have to work this hard when 

I am eleven?” 

“You will if you don’t have any 

money.” 

After much effort we finally got 

the cow in the chute. I opened her 

mouth and explained. “This cow is 

very old. She’s about ten years old. 

In Dog Years 

She is losing her teeth and will not be 

able to eat.” 

Scott got a scared look on his face, 

wiggled one of his loose baby teeth 

and asked, “Will I be able to eat when 

I am ten?” 

“Only if you have money,” I replied. 

Scott was deep in thought. “How 

old is Studly the ram?” 

“Studly is 8 years old.” 

“Will I have thirty girl friends like 

he has when I am eight?” 

“You will if you have money,” I answered, 

trying to drive home my point. 

“Uncle Lee,” said Scott, “maybe 

you just better give me money for my 

birthday. I’m not getting any younger, 

you know.” 

“Seven isn’t all that old Scott. It is 

different with animals,” I tried to explain. 

“A cow at ten years is the same 

as a human at seventy. A dog at two is 

really fourteen. A dog only lives one 

seventh as long as a human so you have 

to multiply their age by seven. You have 



to convert everything to dog years.” 

“How old is Aussie, the dog, then?” 

“She’s only 5.” 

“I didn’t think a dog could get that 

stupid in just 5 years,” said my observant 

nephew. Then he dropped the 

bombshell I never saw coming. “How 

old is my mother?” he asked. 

Now it was time for a much more 

thorough, well thought out and delicate 

explanation. I stumbled and 

stuttered and said, “Scott, it’s a well 

known fact, if not a biological one, 

that girls age slower than men. A 

woman, you see, never lives past the 

age of 39. But when she is 39 she 

could actually be the same age as a 

man might be at 60.” 

Scott digested all of this information, 

got a pensive look on his face and 

then deduced, “With women it’s sort 

of like dog years.” 

Did I mention how smart my nephew 

is?

global seed Company, University Of idaho 

Agree On novel Wheat Pact 

IDAHO FALLS, ID – The Idaho State 

Board of Education on June 22 approved 

an innovative agreement between the 

University of Idaho and Limagrain Cereal 

Seeds, one of the world’s largest 

seed companies, that expands graduate 

education in agriculture and wheat variety 

development opportunities. 

“This agreement is important to meet 

the needs of Idaho’s wheat growers and 

our ability to serve agriculture both in 

Idaho and in the Northwest,” said College 

of Agricultural and Life Sciences 

Dean John Hammel 

“We have had detailed discussions for 

more than a year with the Idaho Wheat 

Commission, Limagrain Cereal Seeds 

and others to make sure this agreement 

works for all parties,” said Donn Thill, 

Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station 

director in the college at Moscow. 

Limagrain Cereal Seeds will contribute 

to research and education endowments 

for the College of Agricultural 

and Life Sciences to fund wheat-focused 

research and two $20,000 graduate-level 

assistantships annually. 

The research endowments will help 

fund field studies by college faculty 

members focused on better ways to 

grow wheat on the Palouse surrounding 

Moscow, Thill noted. 

A July 9 field day at the college’s 

Palouse Research, Extension and Education 

Center Parker Farm east of Moscow 

will offer wheat growers and the public 

a chance to explore the collaboration at 

the ground level with officials from the 

university, company and other groups. 

Hundreds of plots of Limagrain Cereal 

Seeds wheat varieties and breeding lines 

and those developed by the college will 

be on display. 

“From the Limagrain Cereal Seeds 

standpoint, we’re really excited about 

the opportunity to partner with the University 

of Idaho and by extension with 

the Idaho Wheat commission,” said Jim 

Peterson, vice president for research for 

Limagrain Cereal Seeds at Fort Collins, 

CO. “We feel we bring some unique 

things to the table, a global germplasm 

base, some modern technologies and 

the opportunity to partner with the researchers 

and extension at the University 

of Idaho to really bring better 

information and better products to the 

growers of Idaho,” said Peterson. 

He previously worked as Oregon 

State University’s wheat breeder and 

has strong ties to the University of Idaho, 

where his uncle Chuck Peterson, 

an agricultural engineer and biodiesel 

pioneer served as College of Engineering 

dean. 

The Idaho Wheat Commission will 

participate in the collaboration in a formal 

advisory role. Cathy Wilson, the 

commission’s director of research collaboration, 

will serve as an ex-officio 

member of a joint university-company 

steering committee that will meet four 

times a year. 

“My experience shows that where 

there is collaboration, there is opportu- 

nity,” Wilson said. 

On Jan. 6 in Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter’s 

office, Peterson of Limagrain Cereal 

Seeds joined an Idaho Wheat Commission 

announcement of endowments 

that will total $2 million to support the 

university’s wheat research. 

The agreement was previewed by 

the State Board of Education during its 

April meeting in Moscow. 

The non-exclusive agreement between 

the university and Limagrain 

means the two will develop and market 

some wheat varieties together under 

the trade name Varsity Idaho. The 

company and university will continue 

to develop varieties independently, collaborate 

with other parties and market 

varieties separately. 

The strength of the agreement, Thill 

said, is that it provides the university 

with a tie to the company’s vast collection 

of germplasm from throughout 

Europe and its scientific and marketing 

expertise. -

Fast Hay Movers Inc. 

Birth Of the Hay Baby 

“That does it!” – Shouted my wife Betty 

with a firm foot stomp. “We are getting 

a round hay baler”. Why such a dramatic 

declaration? Looking over our 10 acre 

field dotted like the freckles I used to have 

on my teenage face were 900 bales of hay 

ready for manual pick-up and stacking in 

our barn. No big deal if our kids had not 

grown and “flew the coop”. But on this 

hot June day it was just mom and dad! 

Get the picture? Life is a book and 

each chapter requires change and challenges. 

Our kids were the garage door 

openers... Now it’s done with a push of a 

button. Washing dishes was a family happening... 

Now an automatic dishwasher 

does the job. It didn’t take long for dad to 

acquire a husky riding lawn mower after 

our teens took their flight! 

By next hay season a N.H. 630 round 

hay baler was sitting on our 50 acre 

schiltz Manufacturing 

Schiltz Manufacturing was established 

in the mid-1980’s. This small manufacturing 

company was born of a concept from 

a farmer, Tom Schiltz, who was looking 

for an easier way to unload grain from 

his bins (after his three sons grew up and 

moved away). 

Today, Schiltz Manufacturing is located 

in Northwest Iowa. Each Center 

Unload System is custom-built to your 

bin specifications. 

If you have bins with concrete or aeration 

floors, the Schiltz Center Unload 

north central WV farm. Just as Betty 

declared, with no IF’s or BUT’s. Of 

course our M.F. Tractor did the job. But 

that tractor sure made deep tire ruts in 

our lovely meadow and pasture field. 

One day I looked over at our ATV sitting 

there idle. No Way! I prayed, “Dear 

Lord, there has got to be a way to move 

and feed round bales with this 4-wheeler 

ATV. Please show me how”. My precious 

Lord Jesus Christ heard this plea 

and the concept of “Lateral oppositional 

force” came to me. 

With this concept and use of two steel 

/ iron wheels salvaged from a scraped 

hay sweep, scrap steel, chains and a stick 

welder came our first “Hay Baby”. Boy, 

was it in the rough. But it worked! Later 

came the “Hay Mama” with a wider axle 

and the “Hay Papa” for the big boys, up to 

2,000 lb. bales. 

system is your solution. 

The Schiltz Push Blade 

When the snow is heavy, you need a 

real workhorse to keep your yard and 

roads clear. Works on any tractor, payloader 

or skidloader for moving rocks, 

cleaning feed lots and leveling dirt. 

• Attachments available for any style 

loader 

• 3/8” back plate and 1/2”sides plates 

• Equipped with skid plates for depth 

control 

• Dual cutting edge 

With years of research and development 

our new deluxe modernized “Hay Baby” 

was on the market. It quickly connects 

/ disconnects to most ATV’s/UTV’s and 

compact tractors. A 3-pt hitch system is 

now possible for category #1 implements 

by simply using our new conversion kit. 

Now, no more tractor tire ruts with 

freeze and thaw conditions. It saves fuel 

and wear on our 50-year old tractor. 

These machines can be used in summer, 

winter or any time there’s a need to 

transport round hay bales. Betty and I can 

back into tight places because it will not 

jack-knife like a trailer. A push of a button 

on the handle bar raises or lowers the 

bales. All this done while sitting on your 

vehicle seat... Amazing!!!

diamond W Corrals 

Diamond W Corrals introduces the 

portable sorting and gathering system 

by the original designer of the Wilson 

Wheel Corral. 

You will not believe the size of this 

system! The ease of sorting your cattle 

or horses in the field will amaze you! No 

more gathering, loading, unloading, sorting 

and then reloading. No more stressing 

your herd to get them out of the pasture. 

Thanks to Burlington Welding, LLC, home 

of the Diamond W Corral, those days are 

gone. One system, one move, and you’re 

done and home in time for lunch. 

This is a goose-neck unit that opens 

for access in or out of the front. There 

is a total 16 gates throughout the system. 

On each end of the alley there are two 

sets of 6’ gates that open between the 

split goose-neck hitch and the rear axle 

assembly. The rancher has four sorting 

pens measuring 15’ 6” X 15’ 6” with a 

height of all panels at 6’. This gives the 

rancher the ability to tie into the sorting 

system with any type of portable corral 

or stock trailer in the field. 

A hydraulic system sets the unit down 

on the ground, and when ready to move, 

lifts it up for transport. The hydraulic 

system is operated by a 12-volt battery 

charged with a solar panel and the ease 

of pushing a button. All systems are assembled 

with spring-loaded latches on the 

interior gates for added convenience. A 

10’ gate allows you to drive thru the alleyway 

with a cake truck.

Birth Of A Sprayer 

After carefully listening to customers who 

were disappointed with the performance or 

lack of features in ATV sprayers available, 

C&R Supply set out to design a series of 

sprayers to meet their needs. 

“Instead of taking an off the shelf tank 

and attaching features, we needed to get 

all the input we could from customers and 

ATV manufacturers,” said product manager 

Dusty Miller. 

“With a good vision of what features and 

options were required, it became obvious that 

a completely new tank design was needed.” 

The EZ ATV Sprayer was designed with 

the operator in mind for ease of operation 

and functional ability and safety. The sleek 

design brings the weight forward and more 

to a center of gravity for better machine 

balance. Allowing the legs of the tank to 

wrap around the fenders of the ATV gives 

the sprayer dual sumps to give maximum 

drainage and the ability to run on side hills 

without losing its prime. The pump, strainer, 

and main shut-off are mounted underneath 

the tank in a protected cavity, which also 

serves as a dual slosh baffle. The top of the 

tank is designed with a fill catch area to prevent 

chemical from getting on the operator. 

The EZ is fitted with a 4 gpm Shurflo Pump 

and a quality Tee-Jet trigger style handgun 

in the convenient control panel at your side. 

All brackets and boomless nozzle or boom 

accessories are attached to the tank for quick 

and easy mounting. The EZ ATV Sprayer has 

several different options and accessories to 

meet your requirements and needs. 

C&R Supply, Inc. is a distributor and 

manufacturer of agricultural and roadside 

spray equipment located in Sioux Falls, SD. 

For over 35 years C&R Supply, Inc. has 

been a leader in the distribution and servicing 

of many quality products from Raven

more. They also lead the way in designing

Protecting your Crops 

Soybeans and corn are in high demand – and the need continues to grow. 

(NAPS) – You may not think of farming 

as a gamble, but farmers know all 

about taking risks. Minimizing those 

risks is essential to a farm’s survival, and 

the growing need for some crops means 

farmers must maximize their yields to 

stay competitive. 

Fortunately, a better understanding of 

risk management can give farmers a greater 

edge in the high-stakes, high-reward 

world of modern agriculture. 

Corn prices have recently seen record 

highs, while demand for soybeans continues 

to grow. The United Soybean Board points 

out that global consumption of soybeans is 

projected to increase by 70 to 80 million 

tons annually during the next decade. 

U.S. farmers are the world’s top producers 

of corn and soybeans. As droughts 

affect other soybean-producing countries 

such as Brazil and Argentina, the challenge 

facing growers in the U.S. is a familiar 

one: How will they manage their 

crops and maximize yields to take advantage 

of international demand? 

Multiyear research conducted by BASF 

and university partners shows growers can 

significantly improve production with the 

right management plan. A comprehensive 

pest management plan includes: 

• Herbicides to control yieldrobbing 

weeds; 

• Fungicides to protect against diseases 

that crops are susceptible to because of unpredictable 

weather conditions; 

• Insecticides to protect crops from damaging 

insect pests. 

According to the research, using a complete 

pest management program in corn 

led to an average 11.7 bushels per acre increase 

over the common approach that involves 

applying a mix containing a popular 

herbicide, atrazine. 

Researchers took this yield increase 

and, based on the commodity prices for 

the years when research was conducted, 

calculated a revenue increase. Weighing 

that against the cost of the comprehensive 

pest management program, the return on 

investment (ROI) was $2.70 for each $1 

invested over the common approach. 

In soybeans, the research found that a 

complete pest management program led to 

an average 6.8 bushels per acre increase over 

a common approach that involves a simple 

application of the herbicide glyphosate. 

During one year of the soy bean studies, 

researchers found an ROI as high as $3.47 

for every $1 invested over the common approach 

– well above farmers’ common goal 

of $2 returned for every $1 invested.

Safejary – Heat Related Illness Prevention 

Jary Winstead – Work Safety Services, LLC 

We have discussed this subject before, 

but it just can’t be over stated. It won’t 

be long until summer’s heat has arrived, 

and along with it, heat related illnesses. 

Through the years I’ve seen workers of 

all ages affected by heat related illnesses, 

even an athlete in top condition can be 

overcome by the heat of summer. It is 

possible to prevent heat-related illnesses. 

The important thing is to stay well-hydrated 

to make sure that your body can 

get rid of extra heat, and to be careful 

about exertion in hot, humid weather. 

Your body’s cooling system is much 

like an automobile’s. When your vehicle’s 

radiator is full, the coolant is circulating, 

and air is passing through the 

radiator to cool the coolant, you can run 

the vehicle in hot weather without any 

problems. Take any of those components 

away, and your vehicle overheats. 

Keeping your body’s cooling system 

full during hot weather is essential in heat 

related illness prevention. Your sweat is 

your body’s main system for getting rid 

of extra heat. When you sweat, and the 

water evaporates from your skin, the heat 

that evaporates the sweat comes mainly 

from your skin. As long as blood is 

flowing properly to your skin, extra heat 

from the core of your body is “pumped” 

to the skin and removed by sweat evaporation. 

If you do not sweat enough, you 

cannot get rid of extra heat well, and you 

also can’t get rid of heat as well if blood 

is not flowing to the skin. Dehydration 

will make it harder for you to cool off 

in two ways: if you are dehydrated you 

won’t sweat as much, and your body will 

try to keep blood away from the skin to 

keep your blood pressure at the right level 

in the core of your body. But, since 

you lose water when you sweat, you must 

make up that water to keep from becoming 

dehydrated. If the air is humid, it’s 

harder for your sweat to evaporate – this 

means that your body cannot get rid of 

extra heat as well when it’s muggy, as it 

can when it’s relatively dry. 

Drink plenty of water in the morning, 

and all day long. Don’t wait until you’re 

thirsty. If you wait until you’re thirsty, 

you’ve waited too long. The best fluid 

to drink when you are sweating is water. 

There are numerous sports drinks on the 

market containing electrolytes and vitamins, 

and they certainly work well in hydrating 

the human body. Be careful when 

taking salt or other electrolyte tables, it 

is possible to actually consume excessive 

amounts and end up causing other medical 

conditions to occur. It’s recommended 

that you talk to your physician before 

taking these tablets. There are many 

reports out on this subject, and they all 

seem to agree that water is the best thing 

for keeping your body hydrated. Always 

remember; beverages containing alcohol 

and caffeine are not recommended as 

hydration fluids, and will actually dehydrate 

you even further. 

It’s also important to be sensible about 

how much you exert yourself in hot 

weather. The hotter and more humid it 

is, the harder it will be for your body to 

maintain a safe temperature, and get rid 

of the excess heat. The clothing you wear 

makes a big difference. The lighter, more 

breathable clothing is best during hot and 

humid days. Like in winter conditions, 

layering is best. It’s much easier to stay 

comfortable when dressing in layers. 

Let’s discuss the common heat re- 

lated illnesses: 

Heat cramps: Heat cramps are muscular 

pains and spasms due to heavy exertion. 

They usually involve the abdominal 

muscles or the legs. It is generally thought 

that the loss of water and salt from heavy 

sweating causes the cramps. 

Heat exhaustion: Heat exhaustion is 

less dangerous than heat stroke. It typically 

occurs when people exercise heavily 

or work in a warm, humid place where 

body fluids are lost through heavy sweating. 

Fluid loss causes blood flow to decrease 

in the vital organs, resulting in a 

form of shock. With heat exhaustion, 

sweat does not evaporate as it should, 

possibly because of high humidity or 

too many layers of clothing. As a result, 

the body is not cooled properly. Signals 

include cool, moist, pale or flushed 

skin; heavy sweating; headache; nausea 

or vomiting; dizziness; and exhaustion. 

Body temperature may be slightly elevated 

or near normal. 

Heat stroke: Also known as sunstroke, 

which is a life-threatening emergency. 

The victim’s temperature control system, 

which produces sweating to cool the body, 

stops working. The body temperature can 

rise so high that brain damage and death 

may result if the body is not cooled quickly. 

Signals include hot, red and dry skin; 

changes in consciousness; rapid, weak 

pulse; and rapid, shallow breathing. Body 

temperature can be very high, sometimes 

as high as 105 F. 

The best way to help treat someone 

with heat related illnesses is to get them 

out of the heat and into a cool place. Even 

the shade of a tree can be much cooler 

than being in the sun. Give them cool

water, remove excess clothing, and allow 

them to rest. Placing wet towels on them, 

a fan, or even cool water bottles under the 

arms and between the persons legs can 

help in cooling them down. When someone 

is suffering from a heat related illness, 

be careful not to allow them to drink 

too much, too fast, and never give anyone 

food or drink, if they are semi-conscious, 

this may cause them to vomit. 

Heat exhaustion can develop into heat 

stroke, if the person is not hydrated, and 

allowed to cool and rest. Heat stroke is 

a life threatening emergency. A person 

suffering from heat stroke needs immediate 

medical assistance, and you should 

always call your local emergency EMS 

number or 911, whichever applies. If 

you’re not sure which heat related illness 

a person is suffering from, call your local 

EMS number, and get help on the way, 

it’s always better to be safe, than sorry.

Experienced agricultural 

representatives wanted 

growing Healthier, Better Crops 

Researchers have discovered how to protect both 

phosphorus and nitrogen in soil for increased crop 

yields and better crop perfor mance, as these early 

corn roots show. The corn on the top was treated with 

manure+MTM; the bottom was treated with manure only. 

(NAPS) – Both farmers and consumers 

may soon be able to enjoy 

more abundant crops, thanks to a recent 

scientific development. 

Researchers have found a way to 

protect both the phosphorus (P) and the 

nitrogen (N) in manures used as fertilizers, 

which can lead to yield increases 

and better overall crop performance. 

The Problem 

Of the 15.8 million acres of U.S. 

cropland fertilized with ma nure, varied 

percentages of N and P are lost 

during handling and storage as well as 

after application, leaving both nutrients 

un available for crops. 

The Solution 

The new product, called More 

Than Manure ® Nutrient Manager, also 

known as MTM, from SFP, reduces 

P lock-up and N leaching, denitrification 

and volatilization in all manures 

and litters – both dry and liquid. 

Additionally, when added to an inground 

lagoon or pit, it can reduce solids 

and ammonia levels in livestockconfinement 

operations. 

The Proof of Growth 

Independent, third-party research 

shows increased plant growth, root 

development and yield when MTM is 

used in manure-fertilizer applications. 

“The cost of liquid N seems to continue 

to increase, increase, increase,” 

says Jonathan McClain, a Georgia 

grower who’s adopted MTM on his 

farm, “but [after] using MTM in conjunction 

with boiler house litter that 

we used, we saw better results and 

darker foliage, and it was more equally 

dispersed.” 

Easy to Use and 

Environmentally Safe 

No special equipment is re quired 

to effectively apply MTM, and it offers 

crop-rotation flexibility so soybeans 

or other crops can be planted 

after application. 

Additionally, research shows less 

ammonia in barns with MTM pretreated 

pits. “The ammonia level 

reduction was immediate; you could 

walk in a barn and really couldn’t 

tell you were in a hog barn anymore. 

Your eyes weren’t burning and the 

odor was more or less gone instantly 

as soon as you dumped it in,” says 

Sam McKnight, a producer and custom 

applicator in Iowa. 

MTM is biodegradable, leaves no 

environmental footprint and is nontoxic 

to livestock and soil bacteria.

going green Can Put green in your Pocket!! 

Watson Ranch Organic has been helping Farmers 

and Ranchers like you save money for the past 15 

years. We are a family owned business that strives to 

manufacture superior Organic Products from premium 

Organic Ingredients. 

We start out with ingredients taken directly from 

Mother Nature and turn them into the highest quality Fertilizers 

and Soil Amendments. 

Following Watson Ranch Organic Programs can also 

reduce the cost, or eliminate the need for inputs such as 

lime, herbicides and pesticides. The healthier your soil 

the less weeds you have. One of the many benefits to 

using organic products is fewer fire ants. The microbes 

that thrive in natural soil attack the fire ant larvae. Organics 

also deters army-worms. 

Soil rich in the right nutrients and minerals can help 

your crops become more resistant to severe droughts and 

freezes. This means longer growing seasons for your 

crops and more return on your investment. 

The line of Watson Ranch products are manufactured 

with the goal of putting micro-organisms back into the 

soil. This helps the plants take up the nutrition they need. 

The microbiological life has a relationship with the plant 

and they help to supply it with its needs and wants. Did 

you know that by using Organic Products you can not 

only have healthier crops and land but also livestock? 

Think about how much 

money you can save on 

vet bills by having livestock 

that are healthier 

because of the forage 

they are eating. 

Contact us today and 

find out how you can 

get with the Watson 

Ranch Organic Program!
