Even Spread.
EVERY TIME. Feature-loaded, and innovative, the NITRO spreads manure evenly and efficiently. The variable speed, hydraulically driven apron chain feeds fast-moving vertical beaters that ‘bite’ the load and throw it into the field with remarkable consistency, ensuring a finely spread applciation every time. The NITRO Spreader comes in three optimal sizes for your farm operation. With heaped cubic foot capacities of 392, 524, and 693, NITRO Spreaders ensure that you can move and spread manure both efficiently and effectively. Standard NITRO features ensure a premium spreader in all models. The 450, 600, and 750 all feature the same, effective vertical beater configuration, the same guillotine end gate and the same front stone guard to protect, the driver.

The variable apron chain ensures that your load is delivered at the right speed regardless of the manure consistency. The reversible apron chain allows the operator to reverse the apron should an object come in contact and jam the beaters.
Light covers hydraulically open and close in sequence with the end gate. This protects the lights while loading and spreading ensuring they are in optimal operating condition providing increased safety while traveling.
The quick-drop removable beaters remove in minutes, converting your spreader into a rear discharge trailer for stockpiling or windrowing. Your Nitro 750 can easily double as a silage hauler, with the addition of optional height-extenders.
The robust guillotine endgate may be utilized to control the flow of sloppy, semi-solid, or light, dry poultry manure. This feature contributes to even spreading from start to finish.

Repurposing for Green:
From Dilapidated Corn Silo to Hyper Energy Efficient and Resilient Office TF Forming Systems latest project is the construction of an environmentally green, highly energy efficient and structurally resilient home/office out of a dilapidated old corn silo. Located in Mount City, MO, local grain farmer JW Trimmer is taking a former corn silo and transforming it into the ultimate home/office. The new building will be constructed out of Vertical Insulated Concrete Forms from TF Forming Systems. “We were looking for an energy efficient material and concept,” Trimmer explained. “We compared ICF to double stud to highly insulated wall to a sip type panel…what we actually wanted to do with the radius of the corn silo is why we chose TF. TF’s vertical design looked the best option for doing the radius." Steve Graham with Graham Construction was the installer on the project. This was the first building he had completed where an existing structure was repurposed and four radius walls were part of the design. “We were impressed with the ease of being able to create the perfect radius,” said Graham. “Additionally, with this system, the homeowner should experience a lower utility bill and the structural integrity of the home, being that the walls are 8-inches and the helix added, will offer them safety for years to come.” “The corn silo was a well-built structure and unique, not too many of them were built this way,” Trimmer says. “However, it no longer served a useful purpose as a corn elevator. We were looking for something that it could be repurposed into. The farm had grown so we needed an office space.”
Hyper Energy Efficiency JW Trimmer owns more than 200 acres of farmland in the small Northeastern town of Mound City. Located near Nebraska where winter temperatures can be extreme, Trimmer intends to use geothermal energy to heat the structure. He will also tie in the excess heat from the wood-fired boiler to heat A2
the water in the radiant floor system to heat the lower level. Because of the usage of natural energy, coupled with the concrete walls and insulation on both sides of his walls, he will reduce his energy bills by well over 50 percent.

“Our house is smaller than this structure, but we are hoping with the energy efficient walls and the design aspects of the building, the bills will be comparable to a space half its size,” Trimmer says.
Resilient and Disaster Resistant The new building, a hybrid of the existing structure and the new structure, will result in a state-of-the-art building with walls engineered to withstand 250 mph winds thanks to the slow curing process accomplished with a TF concrete wall and addition of Helix fibers to the concrete mix. “We get intense storms and high winds. We get tornadoes that go through the area,” Trimmer says. “I was looking at a long-term structure; something that would withstand extreme weather conditions and stand for a considerable period of time.”

“This is a testament to the unique capabilities our wall systems offer,” says Kirk Brown, TF Forming Systems’ CEO. “Not only do we offer solid and affordable ways to be resilient and energy efficient, but we give building owner’s the opportunity to incorporate our wall systems into existingstructures. Once again the vertical design of our system proves that we are architecturallyfriendly for every application.” The new structure will offer 4900 square feet of space that will be used for offices, a conference room, full kitchen and guest bedrooms and living quarters. Trimmer hopes to have the building complete by April 2013. For more information, please visit online at www.tfsystem.com. 800-622-8836 |

During Winter Months The people at Kinze® Manufacturing, Inc. understand the urgency to get seed in the ground shortly after the planting window opens. Because many Kinze employees also farm, they know how critical proper planter maintenance is to ensuring maximum productivity and efficiency during this short time. While it’s very important for farmers to make sure their planter is mechanically sound, it’s also important to check the electronics and technology on today’s planters. “The electronics on your planter affect productivity and bottom line, just like the nuts and bolts,” says Phil Jennings, Kinze Manufacturing service manager. After farmers check their planter’s mechanics, there is a separate checklist of items they should check regarding their monitors and technology. For farmers to ensure their planter monitor is running properly, Jennings recommends three basic areas to check: display operation, display data/ software and the planter components.
Checking Electronics When checking planter electronics, start in the cab. Plug in the display and turn it on. Farmers should take their time inspecting things like the main power connections and relays, harness routings through doors and windows, and GPS connections. Scroll through the different operation screens to make sure that all of the sensors and modules register on the display as they should.

Next, farmers should check to be certain they are running the latest version of the software in their display. Updates often become available more than once a year. Staying up-to-date gives the operator solutions that may apply to more than just the planting season. What about the information or applied data that is still in the display’s memory from last season? Make a copy and purge unnecessary files from the display. Doing the same for old products and out of date field information can help avoid confusion when navigating through the display later. Now is the time to enter new data; farmers can start plugging in the new seed variety numbers, field changes or implement information.
Mechanics and electronics both affect productivity and the bottom line. Last, farmers need to inspect the planter components. Carefully follow the wiring harness routing from hitch pin to seed tube. Stay focused on any areas that move when the machine is folded and around the row unit chains and parallel arms. Be sure to add new tie straps or guarding where necessary. The culmination of this process should be a full function system check. Planters equipped with a hydraulic drive should be run in the shop allowing farmers to verify that the row unit clutches and sectional controls are working as they should. No matter how much technology is added to the planter, it is still the operator’s responsibility to verify that seed monitor and control systems are working properly. Jennings always suggests a true field check after farmers make any adjustments to the planter. “I recommend a full 1/1000th acre field check when any settings or adjustments change,” says Jennings. “The extra 15 minutes it takes to dig up those seeds is an inexpensive insurance policy.” If these tasks are performed before planting, it ensures that farmers will be ready to plant when weather permits.

ÂŤInnovations in Equipment
by Renae B. Vander Schaaf
No post holes needed! CLAREMORE, OK – The classic saying that necessity is the mother of invention has been proven true once again. Just what is the most onerous task when putting in fence? Most folks would agree that digging postholes wins hands-down. But you can't have a fence without posts, or can you? Dennis Arden of Claremore, Oklahoma, took it upon himself to answer that challenge. He had spent many years digging postholes around his own ranch and for others. If fencing needed to be done, friends would call him. If he had a dime for every posthole he dug, he would be a wealthy man. According to Arden, fencing was a hobby, something he liked doing. Except for one thing, digging post holes was, well, definitely not something he enjoyed. The more he dug, the more he knew there had to be a better way. Then one day, he had a heart attack while digging a post hole. He now had his mandate, he needed to design a fence that did not require digging postholes. It became his passion to build a reliable fence, capable of working in many different situations, and easy to maintain. Recollecting different fencing systems, he kept coming back to the Colorado Split Rail fence. Made of wood, old timers would piece the fence together, stacking the ends, zig-zagging the log fence so that it stood. Arden took that idea, modernized the design utilizing today's material he has revolutionized how fencing can be done. He spent six years perfecting it and getting the patent. ArdenX has been on the market for A6

two and half years. Arden X's freestanding fencing is completely USA designed, made in the USA of USA 3/16 inch square carbon steel tube. Designed to be maintenance free with an estimated life of forty plus years. The rugged, steel X post, has a solid horizontal bar in the X that gives the fence stability. Any type of wire, mesh or fencing panel material works in the framework-barbed wire, electric wire, netting, wood, vinyl, panels, any fencing material. Baird Lobree, President of ArdenX said Mr. Arden's passion to get it right has put a common-sense fence on the market that has limitless possibilities and will work in the most challenging terrain. "ArdenX has adjustable feet," said Lobree. "The fact that is self-leveling is a huge benefit. It works on hilly, sloped, and ungraded land, in river beds." Vertical and swivel horizontal adjustments can be made at each side of X-post. "ArdenX's strength is due to physics. Remember how in school they taught you that gravity was the strongest force on earth, said Lobree. A bull can run into it, the fence does not give." The combination of gravity plus the ArdenX legs, the self-leveling and articulating section design, weight and physical properties of the carbon steel make it strong. It is not possible to pick-up any single section of the fence once the bolts and wires are strung and tightened as it becomes one super-strong, un-movable unit. Adjustable it works for any livestock. Agricultural heights adjust from four

to eight feet, simply by adjusting the feet. ArdenX also manufactures fencing for the military and industrial industries. The fact no postholes are needed saves first on initial labor cost. Installation goes fairly quickly. Two men can put it up, but three men make a better team. Lobree likens it to the Erector sets or Legos everyone had when a child, just snap it together. "All is prewelded, set feet in, tighten up torque screws, bolt it together," said Lobree. "And just keep going." The no post hole concept eliminates issues with underground water, electric, gas utilities, easements and right-of-ways. Because it sits on top of the ground it is not considered permanent property but chattel, or movable property. It is one thing you can take with you if you relocate to a new farm or ranch. ArdenX fence is completely portable. If traveling with horses, it is ideal for setting up a safe, secure temporary corral. Overall design gives a visual perception that it is deeper and wider which deters deer. The fencing works for long, continuous fencing but also in small area situations such as around a well, or garden. ArdenX is also ideal for mounting crop monitoring stations. Lobree recommends MEMSIC. A leading provider of MEMS sensor components for diverse world applications,

ranging from agriculture, automotive, consumer, industrial and aerospace. For agriculture, Lobree says the complete mesh network wireless system is ideal for precision agriculture, smart water grids, and microlimate weather conditions. Solar powered the eKo Pro Series will work in the remotest of locations, without cellular or satellite fee charges. Essentially it is the farm's very own weather station, described Lobree. Sensors record wind direction, ambient temperature and humidity, evapotranspiration, moisture levels in the soil and rainfall at the particular site. Alarms will sound and messages are delivered when certain triggers are reached. "With farmers owning land spread out in several locations, this system is right for them," said Lobree.

Ventilation Benefits from High Volume, Low Speed Fans –by Eddie Boyd, president of MacroAir | www.macroairfans.com
Indoor air quality is important whether you work in a warehouse or a barn. Indoor air, when it isn’t continuously mixed with fresh air, becomes stuffy and smelly. This is especially true in a barn where you’re subject to smells from working equipment, livestock or hay and other substances. High summer temperatures can also lower indoor air quality by increasing humidity and discomfort. Poor indoor air quality in the barn not only affects animals, but also people and productivity.
Many barn and stable owners and managers use natural ventilation systems to maintain good air quality. These systems include orientating the stable or barn to take advantage of natural airflow, opening barn doors and windows to allow the free flow of fresh air, and incorporating a roof ridge and eaves into the building design to draw in fresh air. Barn owners and managers also use high-speed box fans to keep fresh air circulating. The problem with natural ventilation systems is that they present numerous natural challenges – namely, it’s difficult to maintain a uniform air temperature. And, while box fans can help with improving air quality and lowering temperatures, they consume vast amounts of energy, are expensive to run, and you need lots of them to cool down a barn. They also kick up a lot of dust – further adding to discomfort. To maintain indoor air quality and increase the comfort level and productivity of both humans and animals, supplementing natural ventilation with high volume, low speed (HVLS) large-size commercial ceiling fans should be looked to as an efficient and cost-effective solution.
Challenges of natural ventilation systems Natural ventilation is ideal; however, these systems come with their own inherent challenges.
Maintaining uniform temperatures is difficult With a natural ventilation system, you must constantly monitor humidity and temperature. In the summer, it can be difficult to cool down the interior of a barn if a breeze isn’t blowing. If you live in areas of high humidity, opening doors and windows is simply not an option. In the winter, it may be too cold to open barn doors and windows, yet keeping them closed causes heat build up. This humidity, combined with warm temperatures, can cause respiratory issues in livestock and problems that could interfere with animal performance.
Building must be oriented correctly To take advantage of prevailing natural conditions, a barn must be oriented correctly. However, this is not always possible, given individual terrain considerations. In addition, the area around the barn must be free of obstructions to allow for the free flow of air; again, this could be problematic if your barn backs up to a hillside or is fronted by trees.
Build up of condensation On high humidity days, water vapor is released into a building. Water vapor moves independently of air and always flows to the coldest point, such as concrete floors, which cool down at night. Once the concrete slab reaches dew point as temperatures increase, condensation is formed on the floor, which poses real safety hazards to people, livestock and machinery.

Condensation on roof beams also drips to the floor and surfaces, causing discomfort for animals and people, and damage to materials.
How HVLS Fans Supplement Natural Ventilation Systems To solve these problems, and to help lower interior temperatures in the summer, barn owners and managers use high-speed box fans. The problem with these fans, however, is that to effectively cool a barn, you need quite a few of them, which drives up costs as box fans consume vast amounts of energy. They also kick up dust. HVLS fans work in tandem with natural barn ventilation systems, and also reduce or eliminate many of the challenges associated with these systems while offering significant energy efficiencies and significantly lowering HVAC costs.
How HVLS fans work For some people, the slow movement of an HVLS fan is deceptive — how can such a slow moving fan cool down animals in a hot barn? You don’t need a physics degree to know that a breeze moving across your skin on a hot day feels good, especially in humid environments.
Dairy barn with HVLS ceiling fans. While a cool breeze brushing over hot skin feels good, high volume air movement can be both unpleasant and disruptive. And, air speed beyond four or five mph usually offers little, if any, additional cooling benefits. The reason why a large, slow moving fan actually cools better and more efficiently than a small, high-speed fan is due to the large column of air, “traveling” farther than a small one. Through HVLS technology, when the down column of air from an HVLS fan reaches the floor, the air turns in the horizontal
direction away from the column in all directions. The air flowing outward is called the “horizontal floor jet.” Since the height of the floor jet is determined by the diameter of the column of air, a larger diameter fan naturally produces a larger air column and thus a higher floor jet. Smaller high-speed fans are incapable of producing the same effect. Airspeed, combined with fan “effectiveness,” means that when the objective is to cool animals or people, very large, low-speed commercial fans are enormously more efficient and effective than small highspeed fans.

«Equipment Innovations: Farmboy
UTV Hitch
–by Mary Kapustka and Christa Helmers
Ventilation Benefits from High Volume, Low Speed Fans Benefits of Using HVLS Fans in Barn Applications HVLS fans impart a number of benefits to barn owners and managers including lower energy costs. In addition to supplementing natural ventilation systems, HVLS fans also reduce or eliminate the challenges inherent in these systems.
Improved ventilation and indoor air quality Although a building, including a barn, may have an air exhaust system in place, these systems often fail to thoroughly mix all of the air inside the barn. This type of system gets short circuited as doors or windows are opened and closed. Air pressure created in the suction of the exhaust looks to the path of least resistance and circumvents the intake devices. HVLS fans eliminate this problem as they continuously mix incoming fresh air, vastly improving indoor air quality.
Eliminate condensation buildup Because HVLS fans constantly mix air from roof to floor, a constant state of thermal equilibrium exists inside the building – and hence, condensation doesn’t form on the roof beams or floor, eliminating condensation dripping on livestock and building surfaces as well as helping to ensure the floor stays dry and safe. In the winter months, when “warm air rises” the effect can cost an additional 25 percent or more since more heat is required to maintain floor level temperatures. Why so much? The rate of heat loss or transmission through the roof accounts for roughly 70 percent of the transmission losses inherent in all structures. The objective, then, is to even out the temperature gradient from floor to ceiling in order to reduce heat loss.
The unique feature of HVLS fans is that they can run in reverse, which pushes the warm air at the top of the structure down to the floor effectively and efficiently evening out temperature throughout the building. The result is that one HVLS fan applied to 20,000 square feet of indoor space can easily return 30 percent of heating energy dollars.
Equipment Budget Short? Expand On What You Already Have! Mark Altemeier was in need of new equipment for his produce farm and market. But financially, new tractor just did not fit into the business’s small budget. Altemeier began looking for a solution by taking stock of his existing equipment. The RTV he owned had the potential to lift the same weight as a small tractor. All that was needed was a way to retrofit a 3-point hitch to fit his RTV, and there weren’t any viable solutions on the market at that time. Ironically, this became a fortunate problem for Altemeier.
How to Choose the Right HVLS Fan Natural ventilation systems are ideal for animals, as like people, they need a continuous supply of fresh air.
How to Make Your RTV More Versatile
HVLS fans are incredibly energy efficient — one HVLS fan can replace up to 50 high-speed box fans while covering up to 20,000 square feet of barn space.
Altemeier got to work and with the assistance of his you son, Dylan, create a system
Which size HVLS fan should you choose? This depends on the size of your barn and its height. To maintain continuous air exchange, add one HVLS fan per 20,000 square feet of space. The bigger the HVLS fan, the more air it can move over a larger space.
The Farmboy was widely accepted by manufacturers. "We kept hearing from various
made for attaching 3-point hitches (and other implements) onto RTVs. The first Farmboy was created. (Or as Dylan called it, the ‘contraption’.) Versatile in lift limits, the hitches range from 400 to 1200 lb. lift limits.
vehicle manufacturers and customers about how UTVs could be made better. The top answer was to increase the number of attachments for them,” Altemeier said. "We are doing exactly that with our 3-point hitches - providing UTVs a link to the thousands of implements already out there." A little more than three years later, Altemeier has designed hydraulic 3-point hitch systems for some of the top equipment manufacturers: Kubota, Kioti, Cushman, Bad
MacroAir, originator of the HVLS technology in 1998 as a solution for cooling dairy cows and increasing milk production, today remains a leading manufacturer of HVLS fans in 8’ to 24’ in diameter. The company provides a number of calculator applications on its website that, upon entering specific building specifications, help determine the right MacroAir fan (or fans) to achieve optimal air movement and results: macroairfans.com/fan-calculators/. MacroAir fans have proved to lower heating and cooling costs by as much as 20 percent in a variety of building settings.
Boy Buggies, Toro, John Deere ProGator, Bobcats, and, most recently, the Polaris Ranger. They are also now a part of the Orange Aftermarket, an alliance between Kubota Corp. and Wiedmann Bros., making them available in Kubota dealerships across the country. Another selling point for UTV Hitchworks? All products of UTV Hitchworks are manufactured in the United States – a position on which Mr. Altemeier will not budge. More information on the 3-point hitches manufactured by UTV Hitchworks can be found at utvhitchworks.com , or by calling 513-260-3705 .

If you are gifting property that is either depreciating or is likely to stay flat in value for years to come, you don’t accomplish anything by
sig ned, outvoted
Dear Outvoted: I gather the election didn’t go the way you wanted it to. Well, first and foremost, we do know that the Health Law passed in 2010 has stood up to the Supreme Court tests. We now know a possible ouster via the election process is no longer possible, so the Affordable Health Care Act is the law of the land and we will see states rush to get ready for the impending laws the AHCA will bring about. One little side note that many people forgot about the AHCA - which isn’t going to make your day, either - is that on any income from capital gains, unearned incomes, stock and/or bonds interest, etc. over and above $250,000 per married couple ($125,000/single?) will have an additional four percent tax charged against it starting in 2013. This effectively raises capital gains and other unearned income sources tax rates for those over $250,000 (including the income) another four percent. For example, capital gains - if they go to twenty percent in 2013 and if your income is over $250,000 - will now be taxed at twenty-four percent. The additional four percent taxes are to pay for AHCA. If you’re thinking of selling, 2012 may be your year. This will affect people with a lot of capital gains on sales of land, livestock, etc. etc. and it’s a little forgotten piece about how we’re going to pay for Affordable Health Care. The second bit of ‘good’ news is there is a push to lower the Unified Credit from $5,000,000 per person to $3,500,000 per person. This will put close to twenty percent of all farmers and ranchers back into estate tax situations. Up until year’s end, you can gift property of up to $5,000,000 per spouse. However, if you were to gift, A10

dropping in value later on. A gift is a gift is a gift - and once given, you cannot get it back. If you can live with that, then make the gift. If not, don’t. We have a bit of a financial tsunami coming our way right now. We may find that for all the good intentions of the current program, it might bring our country to an economic standstill or even a recession. We won’t know the result of these changes for six months to a year. Until we jump into the deep end and tread water for a period of time, we won’t know if we’re in over our heads or not.
A gift is a gift is a gift - and once given, you cannot get it back. If you can live with that, then make the gift. If not, don’t. doing such a gift. You’ll just paint yourself into a corner in the future as to what you can and cannot do! However, if you are gifting property that you feel fairly confident will rise in value for years to come (land, being the only example I can think of), why not move land out of your estate at it’s current value today? If I give five million dollars worth of land today and credits lower to $3,500,000, I’ve immediately shielded $1,500,000 from 35%-55% tax rates. I’ve also shielded any future growth on this asset, as well. So, if it grows to ten million by the time I die, it’s out of my estate for estate tax purposes. The really, really bad thing about this whole situation is the election just occurred, it’s already the end of November and with Christmas coming up, there are really only about three to three and a half ‘business weeks’ to make this life altering decision. I know a lot of people are going to push the panic button and make some stupid, crazy gifts before year’s end for these reasons.
Secondly, in the war of taxes and estate planning, the planners of today and tomorrow don’t yet know what they will be fighting and, therefore, don’t have the tools yet to carry into the melee. But, rest assured; every time these issues have arisen in the past, new tools have been developed to give respite to those affected. We just haven’t had enough time to see what we’re facing nor how we will combat it - yet! We will. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Do you have questions about estate planning?

If it’s assets whereby you can be assured - and not just because you want to believe it’s so, but because it IS so - will never, ever come back to bite you for having given it up - then by all means gift the assets away - as long as they meet the other criteria of future growth and not

Farmers’ Behavioral Health Impacts Herd Health Farmers’ behavioral health affects the animals they raise. Dog owners are well aware their pets sense how they feel. Practitioners of artificial insemination of livestock have long known their stress levels affect the conception rate of the animals they are breeding. Animals detect the tension of the people working with them. Reproductive success diminishes when the AI technician is stressed out. Animals can sense when their handler is upset or relaxed and calm. I know from my own experiences when I raised cattle that if I felt the need to hurry as I artificially inseminated a cow, she usually didn’t cooperate. If I took my time, the cow relaxed and the job usually went faster. Stress increases the risk of farming-related injuries. An analysis of injuries to North Dakota farmers during the Farm Crisis of the 1980s by Jack Geller, Richard Ludtke and Terry Stratton, published in 1990 in the Journal of Rural Health, indicated that stress, especially financial difficulties, increased their chances of injury. Using data from the Iowa Farm Family Health and Hazard Survey (1994) and the Iowa Farm Poll (1989), Kendall Thu, Paul Lasley and other colleagues determined that stress was a risk factor for agricultural injuries. Their research was reported in the Journal of Agromedicine in 1997. Farmers’ stress levels also can affect the health of their animals. Christina Lunner Kolstrup and Jan Hultgren examined the relationship of symptoms reported by 41 owners or managers and 20 employed workers on Swedish dairy farms to the physical health of their cows. Their study was published in the Journal of Agricultural Safety and Health in 2011. The study confirmed that stressful working conditions and behavioral health symptoms “are not uncommon” among owners/managers and employed workers. The owners/managers and dairy farm workers reported their perceived stressors and symptoms on questionnaires. Generally, the workers reported more symptoms than the owners/managers. January 2013
Reported stressors included these: having to work very fast, having little influence over decisions and workloads, low sense of meaningfulness of the work and low sense of staff coherence. These stressors were associated with the following symptoms: feelings of irritation, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, nervousness and abdominal pain. Workers who felt their contributions to the dairy farm operation were valued by the owners/managers reported fewer symptoms and greater pleasure from their work. The study found that the incidence of behavioral health symptoms of the owners/managers and employed workers was positively correlated with the incidence of mastitis in cows and the total number of cow diseases that were reported in the dairy veterinary records. It should be emphasized that, by design, the study yielded findings that are correlations, not cause-effect outcomes. Happy cows are likely to have happy handlers. In spite of the commercial that says happy cows live in California, how their caretakers feel and treat their cows are more important. It is probably also the case that healthy animals make their caretakers feel better too. The health of farm animals and the condition of farm buildings, machinery and fences may be indicators of the stress level of the persons who work on the farm. A veterinarian friend mentioned to me that the somatic cell count in milk samples from dairy cows and the body condition scores of beef cattle often reflect how stressed their owners are. It helps if supervisors promote regular communication with their workers and demonstrate leadership in maintaining a behaviorally healthy working environment. Regularly scheduled meetings of the owners, managers and the farm workers helps the employees to feel their perceptions are valued. Some supervisors reward valuable suggestions of employees with bonuses. Another beneficial management practice is to make sure all employees, including the owners, have sufficient time to sleep, recreate, exercise, and associate with family and friends. These are investments in employees that improve production and safety.
www.farmandlivestockdirectory.com |
Fatigue is a common problem of farm workers. We accumulate sleep debt whenever we obtain less than our bodies need. Most persons require about eight hours of sleep daily but the normal range varies from six to ten hours. If we accumulate ten hours of sleep debt, we behave similarly to when we have .08 percent alcohol in our blood, which is the legal minimum for inebriation in most states and provinces. Ten hours of sleep debt slows our reaction time, reduces the accuracy of motor movements and memory, makes us more emotionally impulsive and compromises judgment. In short, insufficient sleep increases the risk of injuries. When we are tired we are more likely to incur injuries when working with animals. Livestock can detect when “we aren’t our usual selves.” The annual reports by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, entitled Injuries among Farm Workers in the United States, routinely indicate animals are the leading cause of nonfatal farming-related injuries. It is important that farmers who work with livestock recognize healthy working conditions and good behavioral health of the workers increase productivity.
Dr. Michael R. Rosmann brings the perspective of a farmer
in “Farm And Ranch Life”. Dr. Rosmann grew up on a mixed
grain and livestock farm in Western Iowa where he experienced enjoyable hard work and 4-H, and witnessed the stresses that accompany farming and farm life.
Dr. Rosmann developed the first mental health response in
Iowa to the Farm Crisis of the 1980s. In 2001, Dr. Rosmann, along with partners in seven states, founded the nonprofit
network, AgriWellness Inc. AgriWellness conducted research and provided counseling services to farm people. It became clearer that a specialized field – agricultural behavioral health – was needed to respond to the unique problems experienced by farmers, ranchers and others involved in agriculture.

Try a Clutter-Free and Guilt-Free Holiday Season Financially, physically, mentally, and emotionally, the holidays can drain us. Ironically, it can be a tough time of year on our spirituality, relationships and family, and even career. Would you like to get off the holiday bandwagon? It may be simpler than you think, and, guess what, you wouldn’t be alone! It happened at my November simple living group meeting one year. Two women, without so much as a twinge of guilt in their voices, “confessed” that they didn’t bake Christmas cookies! One said she buys them or simply let others bring them. The other woman said she makes banana bread for gifts instead because it is simpler. How dare they! I was more envious about their obvious lack of guilt than about the fact that they didn’t bake cookies. Another woman talked about the last time it was her turn to host the extended family Christmas dinner. She decided to forego the expected traditional Swedish multi-course extravaganza in favor of a make-ahead stuffed shell pasta dish, tossed salad, and garlic bread. The audacity! I had read this idea before, but I had never actually done it! Worse yet, this woman wasn’t feeling a bit guilty. She was happy about it. She talked about how everyone had enjoyed the simplicity of the food. She also said that, “After all, the big dinner was only a tradition, and her family could always go back to the tradition another year.” Her idea was simple and also brilliant. She could choose to drop, change, or simplify a tradition. Another year, she could simply choose to go back to the tradition if she wanted. These women really got me thinking. When planning and organizing only take you so far, how do you simplify after that? Who would care if I didn’t make so many Christmas cookies this year? Who would feel bad if the meal wasn’t as elaborate as last year? Who would notice if the gifts were fewer or less extravagant this time around? I suspect the answer is me, maybe even just me. I let myself make Christmas too busy, complicated, and stressful because of my own expectations. In Christmas’ past, I have unintentionally run my family and myself physically and emotionally ragged to meet unimportant expectations that I clung to in my head. I felt like activities and events that were supposed to be fun just turned into more stuff to be gotten through and crossed off the holiday

to-do list. I have been relieved when the holidays were over. Whew! We survived another holiday. We are off the hook for another year.

I know there have been times during past holidays where I have foolishly exchanged fun and spirit for quantity just to meet my own expectations. I ignored my gut and pressed forward. Have you ever done that? This year we can choose to notice and heed the nagging twist in our hearts that happens when we strain ourselves to achieve overblown holiday goals. We can step back and pause to re-evaluate our choices and the impact those choices have on our family.

The first step for me: I will make fewer cookies. That is, I will make cookies with my daughters, and when it stops being fun, we will stop. If I have spare time, I may make more by myself–if I feel like it.

For my second step, I will buy some simple gifts from the heart, and when shopping gets too crowded or boring, I will say, “ enough,” and we will hop into the car, and drive around to look at Christmas lights. When holiday crafting gets frustrating for me or for my kids, I will say, “Hey, this is good enough,” and we will stop and do something else.

Finally, I will not whip myself or my family into an unhappy frenzy to prepare an elaborate meal or create a perfectly clean house. It just isn’t worth it. I don’t want my kids to remember their holidays or their mother that way! If it isn’t simple enough or joyous enough, don’t do it. Most importantly, don’t let yourself feel guilty for those choices. I will choose to feel peaceful and grateful for having the chance to make better choices. Maybe I am getting closer to the true spirit of Christmas. If so, it has taken years. I don’t know. I just know that when I have opportunities to trade guilt and frustration for peace and joy this month, I will take them–-for me and for my family, and you can too!

Ag PhD releases Population Apps for Devices Ag PhD recently announced the availability of its Harvest Loss Calculator and Planting Population Calculator on Apple® iOS and Google Android smartphone and tablet devices. These new apps, sponsored by Case IH, provide tools to help farmers make quick in-field calculations to improve their operations. Producers can download these tools for free from links on the Ag PhD website at www.agphd. com. “Our Harvest Loss and Planting Population calculator apps provide concise and valuable information to help farmers make decisions to increase their overall return on investment,” says Brian Hefty, co-host of Ag PhD TV. “I’m using both of these apps already on my farm, and we feel many other farmers will benefit from them, too." Case IH sponsors Ag PhD’s Iron Talk segment, and this year extended its support to make the Harvest Loss Calculator and Planting Population Calculator apps available to producers. “We value the insights and expertise Ag PhD brings to agriculture – helping producers be ready to address infield challenges and take advantage of opportunities," says Julie Rudnick, Product Launch Strategy Senior Project Manager. "We are proud to be part of those efforts and provide new tools to support producers in the field during both planting and harvest seasons.”
Harvest Loss App The Ag PhD Harvest Loss Calculator allows farmers to estimate yield loss before and during harvest by recording the number of individual corn, soybean, wheat, sorghum, barley or oat seeds found on the ground in a square foot. With this information, the app can calculate the number of bushels farmers have lost per acre. App users can also enter current crop prices to determine exactly how much money is lying on the ground as harvest loss on a per-acre basis. “With commodity prices for many crops at record levels, even the loss of a single bushel per acre over an entire farm can translate to thousands of dollars of lost revenue," Hefty says.

The
Ritual of ‘Giving Thanks’ Goes Back 6,000 Years
Food for Thought”
“
Since I am writing this on Thanksgiving, I feel it is proper to talk about our history of this Holiday. Surprisingly enough, I am going way back into history, before Abraham Lincoln made it a National Holiday in 1863, and even before what was considered the First Thanksgiving by the pilgrims and Native Americans in 1621. How about we go back around 6,000 years ago, to a reference in the Book of 1 Chronicles 16:7; That day David first committed to Asaph and his associates this psalm of thanks to the Lord: Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what He has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. David continues thanks in the Psalms 7:17; I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High. 28:7, The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. 107:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. 136:1, Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods; His love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords; His love endures forever. Luke 2:38... (Anna in the Temple) Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem. It wasn’t just Jerusalem but our whole world. Luke 17:12... Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As He was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When He saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus feet and thanked him, and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then He said to him, “Rise and go, your faith has made you well.”
A little more understanding is needed here to garner even more out of it. Jesus was a Jew, and the thankful healed man was a Samaritan; usually these two did not associate and hated each other. Jesus came to seek and to save that which is lost. Luke 19:10 Color, race, ethnicity, etc., has no bearing. Paul says in Ephesians 5:20 to always give thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul in Philippians 4:4... Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16... Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. James 1:16,17, Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. Revelation 4:9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives forever and ever. There are many more places in the Bible where ‘giving thanks’ events happened, but I think you get the picture and idea. Thankfulness came from us appreciating the gifts that God has given us. Fast forward to the “First Thanksgiving” in 1621, where the Pilgrims celebrated with Native Americans after a good harvest. Fast forward to 1863 where Abraham Lincoln proclaimed “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelt in the Heavens,” making Thanksgiving a national Holiday. The ultimate thanksgiving has to be for the greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ, to pay for our sins, so that if we believe in Him we will someday join our beneficent Father in the Heavens. Have a great Holiday Season. Don’t forget to take the time to think about how good we have had it for 6000 years.

There are a few things you and I can do today to help protect our families and loved ones. The three steps Homeland Security recommends are 1. Get a kit; 2. Make a plan; 3. Be informed.

hear “homeland security,” I think of terrorism, but this agency also assumes primary responsibility for ensuring that emergency response professionals are prepared for any situation.
Bad things happen to good people all the time. Some things we simply can’t prevent. Superstorm Sandy is a reminder that we all need to plan for the unexpected and that you need to protect your family in the event of a natural disaster.

• Dust mask to help filter contaminated air, along with plastic sheeting and duct tape • Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
3 Steps to Prepare for the Next Disaster As a “sudden wealth” financial planner, I take great pride in helping others determine where they are going and how to get there. I consider myself an eternal optimist. In my mind, the glass is not half empty or half full – it is well on its way to becoming full. People are generally good and do what is right. On the other hand, I’m also a realist, looking not only at the destination but rather at all of the things that can go wrong along the way.
• Whistle to signal for help
• Local maps There are also several additional items that you should consider for your kit, according to Ready America: • Prescription medications and glasses • Infant formula and diapers • Pet food and extra water for your pet (you can’t forget about them!) • Important family documents, such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records in a waterproof, portable container • Cash and change • Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person; consider additional bedding if you live in a cold weather climate • Complete change of clothing, including a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and sturdy shoes;
consider additional clothing if you live in a cold weather climate • Household chlorine bleach and medicine dropper (when diluted, with nine parts water to one part bleach, the solution can be used as a disinfectant); in an emergency, you can use it to treat water by using 16 drops of regular household liquid bleach per gallon of water – do not use scented, color safe or bleaches with added cleaners • Fire extinguisher • Matches in a waterproof container • Feminine supplies and personal hygiene items • Mess kits, paper cups, plates and plastic utensils, paper towels • Paper and pencil • Books, games, puzzles or other activities for children Make a plan. If disaster strikes and your family is not together, it’s important to have a plan of action -- how you will contact one another, where you will meet and related considerations. Ready America has a form you can download to prepare such as a plan. Be informed. It’s important to know what’s happening locally in an emergency and if there are special instructions you should follow. An AM/FM radio can keep you informed. Create the emergency kit and review it with your family a couple of times a year so the next time disaster strikes you are prepared.

The Stable.
The Centerpiece of Christmas
T
hank God for livestock at the time of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
With the stench of the election still blowing in the wind, Christmas comes as a breath of fresh air. Like that of cleaning the barn and refurbishing it with the amenities of golden flurry straw and freshly mown alfalfa hay — the comparison is heartwarming and reassuring. So much so, that I want to continue to share with you, the most popular of all my columns. There has been more response to the Christmas message than any other “story” I’ve told, a clear sign of the times. This is especially true in rural America, where Christian values are still the cornerstone of family lives. As we celebrate the season of Christmas, we are reminded of the role that livestock played in the life of Jesus. His very survival at the time of his birth was dependent upon the heat and warmth of a barn full of livestock. To have laid him in a manger, protected from harm’s way, where the radiant body heat of the animals would keep him warm was as much a part of the miracle as the miracle itself.
•As real as the message is to our lives, one would have to concede that those of us that grew up with livestock, perhaps have an easier time relating than those that are generations removed from the ardors of the stable. *Remember when the barn was the focal point of the farm; when the barn up-staged the house and every other building on the farmstead. More time was spent in the barn then in the house, and certainly a lot more maintenance, upkeep, and money was spent in this arena. It was a lifestyle that left little doubt about believing in the Christmas miracle. The stable was the focal point of our very existence. It was our source of income, food for the table, and often housed our only source of enabling power.
The miracle that continues to sustain the world in these difficult times of war and terror will continue to give us hope for all eternity. To have been born of the Virgin Mary was miraculous, but to have survived is perhaps the greatest role that livestock has ever played in our lives. We like to think of livestock as our primary source of protein, nourishment, and satiety value— like that of no other food. For those reasons alone we will always be grateful for God’s creation; especially meat for the table. But how much thought have we ever given to the fact that Jesus may never have survived that first night on earth if it hadn’t been for he comfort provided by that lowly barn full of God’s creatures.
A20
The message is as clear and relevant today as it was then. The only difference is we’ve had Jesus since that point in time to sustain our lives and give us hope for all eternity.
Horsepower, for many, was the only means of transportation in the cold of the winter months. I remember riding to school in a horse driven sleigh, buying groceries, and attending church, as there was no other means of transportation. The roads were drifted shut with high banks of snow, and temperatures were so cold that most vehicles wouldn’t start. Impassable roads were improvised in open fields and wind swept prairies. Cars were housed under snow banks until the warmth of spring would thaw them out. The Christmas miracle seemed so real. Milking the cows and selling the beef and pork were our primary sources of income. Without the barn, none of this would have been possible. Relating to the barn was as second nature as that of visualizing Jesus lying in a manger in the comfort of all those livestock.
800-622-8836 |
The sights, sounds, and smells of the barn instilled memories that will linger with me forever. There was nothing more welcoming than walking into a warm barn, the smell of freshly mowed alfalfa hay, the clean golden comfort of fluffed-up straw, and the baaing of a new born lamb. There may not have been room in the Inn for Jesus, but I’m convinced that this was part of the “plan”, as the stable has become symbolic for all of mankind to remember. Unfortunately man has become so far removed from the rigors of reality, that he can no longer connect with the miracle of Christmas. The Christmas story seems so far removed from today’s world, that it almost seems unbelievable. The bright lights and tinsel of modern day Christmas has driven Christ further and further away; until the real gift of life has become overshadowed by the gifts of materialism. If the young people of today could only experience the feeling of waking up with frost on the end of your nose, or walking through a blinding snow storm to get to the barn, perhaps the miracle of Christmas would become more real to them. I remember tying a string, several hundred feet long, between the barn and the house to keep from losing our way. And when the weather forecast predicted snow, cold, and wind it was time to — “Hook up the team, heat up the oven and let’s get neighborly.”
It’s Christmas Time In America! As the association of time and circumstances continue to drift away from the reality of the miracle of Christmas it is easy to understand that believing was easier when times were simpler. The reality of the world which man has made is causing many to lose their way.

Am I suggesting that we turn back in time, or things were better when we didn’t have electricity, television, e-mail, etc? Though I do wonder about that, there are no definitive answers – implied or otherwise. Progress is wonderful, but progress at the expense of condemnation, peace, and the void of the Christmas miracle is too high a price to pay! Jesus paid the ultimate price of dying that we might live and be reborn into the glory of eternity. We can’t cash in on that price if we don’t believe. If it takes acquiring a donkey and building a little stable to get grounded — then do it! A “kick in the ass” wouldn’t hurt most of us. Just believe — it’s the best insurance policy you’ll ever own, and it’s free. So, all of you livestock producers, listen up! You’ve got an easier row to hoe than those less fortunate than you. The stable and the manger make up the centerpiece of your labors, as well as the centerpiece of Christmas. Be more understanding of those less fortunate and show more leadership in spreading the good word of the miracle of Christmas. For those of us that know the difference, there comes an obligation of helping to save those that have not heard. Livestock producers are known to be pretty good at spreading it pretty thick. My favorite spot to gather with my friends and neighbors is still my barn. My stable is the centerpiece of my folk lore and a constant reminder of the centerpiece of my life. Thank you for allowing me to share these sentiments during this special season of Christmas. I was asked to do this at one of our local churches during Christmas, and it has become a favorite message among senior citizen groups. It was in the sharing of these stories that Pony Tales by Ponty was contrived. They are a collection of writings inspired by personal life experiences that are farm and livestock related. Within each story is a message of inspiration and hope from which one can draw empirical strength or empathy. You’ve either been there or seen it happen.

Christmas Greeting
It was magical — like that of a voice coming from the heavens! “Merry Christmas Kenny!” We had just pulled into the Kansas City Railroad Depot. There were Christmas lights everywhere, and Christmas carols filled the air waves, like that of permeating the whole world with the spirit of Christmas. And all at once, there was this hush of total silence. The silence was deafening as I heard my name being spoken. A little boy, only 5 yrs. old, never before away from home, it was just too much to take it all in. I realize now that the whole stint had been orchestrated by my Uncle Edgar, but hearing your name being announced over the PA system, for all to hear, seemed bigger than life. Our parents had been planning this trip from North Dakota for more than a year, and my younger sister, Ardell and I were getting more excited as each passing day drew us closer to Christmas. Mom & Dad weren’t really any better, as they planned with so much detail to make this a trip of a lifetime. After all, this was my Dad’s brother, a prominent Christian minister in Kansas City. How much more pressure could there be to make a favorable impression? It was such a memorable experience that it will be etched in my mind forever. But I’m forever saddened that our families never stayed close, as lost in the shadows of paths seldom crossed can be a life time of unfurled treasures. The treasurers were always there, right out in the open for all to enjoy. But for reasons not fully understood, some of the

Not that my Dad wasn’t proud to be kin of a minister, engineer, and a beauty, for these are the manna of dreams. But the road of life was traveled intuitively by each, as though the other didn’t exist. (So much for genetics.) Though I didn’t know my Dad’s family very well, they had to have been driven by fame and fortune, unlike my Father who was driven by the independence of a free spirit. He was actually gregariously famous for his community philanthropy — maybe this makes them equal, each in their own way. But this family has been a gift to me, each in its own way, most noticeably remembered those 70 plus years ago at Christmas time at an railroad depot! Isaish 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.”

Progressive Agriculture Safety Days® program challenges you to TEST YOUR
Pesticide Safety I.Q. Question: it’s ok to finish using containers of banned pesticides, as long as the label on the container is intact. true or False? Answer: False. It is against federal law to use banned pesticides. In addition, using banned pesticides can endanger your health, your family’s health, your neighbor’s health and the environment. If you have banned pesticides, you must treat them as hazardous waste. Call your county Extension office to find out how to dispose of them. Do not simply pour them out in a secluded area. It’s illegal, unethical and very dangerous. One ounce of pesticide can contaminate up to 7,800 gallons of groundwater to potentially dangerous levels.
Question: As long as you wash clothes in hot water, it is ok to wash pesticide-soiled clothes with your family’s regular wash. true or False? Answer: False. Clothing worn when applying farm or home pesticides can contaminate other items of clothing both before and during washing. Launder these items separately. While proper laundering removes most of the pesticide from clothing, some trace residue can remain. It is unclear how these trace residues affect human health. To learn the added steps needed to properly wash pesticide contaminated clothing, check with your county Extension office.

New Iowa Soil Rating System Impacting Farmers
I
owa is updating its soil productivity rating system for farmland. The Iowa Corn Suitability Rating (CSR) system was developed by Iowa State University in the early 1970s as a way to measure potential soil productivity for property tax assessment. The CSR is based on soil profile, slope characteristics and weather conditions. It is also inf luenced by the soil scientist’s experience and expert judgment. Since that time CSR values have become widely used in valuing farms, setting lease terms, and making crop plans. This October, the USDA Natural Resource and Conservation Service (NRCS) released CSR2, an updated version of the original CSR. Iowa State University developed CSR2 to be consistent with NRCS’s newer datadriven soil survey methods, and to make the soil productivity calculations more transparent. CSR2 also incorporates the soil sub-components and map inclusions that the NRCS now uses in their soil surveys. Because of this, CSR2 is more suitable for sitespecific soil measurement and precision-farming uses. It’s important to understand that CSR2 values are not comparable to the original CSR values because they are calculated differently. On a farm-by-
farm basis, there is a good probability that the weighted average CSR2 value will be different than the original CSR value. Because CSR has long been used as one of the components to determine a farm’s value, confusion between CSR and CSR2 can influence a farm’s perceived value. This may also have an impact on lease negotiations. Chad Hertz of Hertz Farm Management, Inc., a leading Midwest farm real estate broker, said there is going to be a transition period as the market works through what CSR2 values mean for farm values. “It’s important for everyone to be aware of the transition, and which system is being used when evaluating a farm.

Trichomoniasis is a venereal disease carried by bulls and transferred to healthy cows, resulting in early embryonic death or abortion. Historically, trich was a problem in the western United States where multiple herds, under multiple management practices, ran together on public land. When drought hit those areas, cattle moved into states like Texas, Nebraska and South Dakota — and took trichomoniasis with them. According to Dr. Doug Ensley, Professional Services Veterinarian with Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc., this situation is repeating itself. “Last year with the drought in Texas and Oklahoma, people were looking for places to send cows, while other parts of the country could buy cows because they had grass and rain,” Dr. Ensley says. “Some of those cows moved out of Texas and, because trich doesn’t have many clinical signs, people put them right in with the cow herd. Now we’re seeing positive cows, and the same goes for bulls. Trich-positive bulls were moving out of Texas and into states like Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa.” Preventing trichomoniasis from entering your herd or controlling its spread takes a multifaceted approach. Recommended strategies include: * Annually test all bulls and cull any bulls that test positive. * Only buy virgin bulls or bulls that have tested negative for trich. * Consider expanding your artificial insemination program to reduce the need for bulls. * Properly maintain all fencing where neighboring herds could come in contact.
For herds that have bulls identified as trich-positive, have difficulty getting all bulls tested, purchase older bulls, or are in an area where multiple herds may run together, Dr. Ensley recommends adding TrichGuard® to the herd health protocol.
“You really have to look at your whole management practice, as well as your neighbor’s,” he says. “I hate to pit neighbor against neighbor, but you have to think about that herd across the fence. They may not have the same management practices you do, so you should be prepared in case they have a positive bull that could jump the fence.”

The days of trichomoniasis being known as a western states problem may be coming to an end. With consecutive drought years throughout many of the cow/calf-producing parts of the country, trich is being found in new areas, including states like Iowa and Missouri, and cattlemen are suffering from its impact.
Dr. Ensley also encourages producers to think beyond their own herd.

ack-to-back drought years and moving cattle enables spread of trichomoniasis to new areas.
“I have actually seen some herds in trich situations in which they’ve had 40 to 45 percent pregnancy or calving rate, when they’ve traditionally had an 85 or 90 percent pregnancy rate,” he says. “I think TRICHGUARD is a nice tool to help improve breeding rates affected by trichomoniasis and get you going back in the right direction with reproduction.”

Stop filter fuel gelling in cold weather To help prevent diesel/biodiesel fuel gelling in cold weather, E-Tip, Inc. introduces the Universal Fuel Filter Preheater™ that mounts easily to the engine fuel filter. It is just one in an extensive line of products for cold weather starting, security, safety and maintenance.
MicroSolutions™ EDTA chelated nutrients can help correct and prevent nutritional deficiencies in crops to deliver bigger yields Nutra-Flo, a leading provider of starter and foliar applied liquid fertilizers is excited to launch the new MicroSolutions micronutrients line of products. The MicroSolutions line of chelated micronutrients have the highest efficiency, which means growers can use less product per acre to achieve the same results as compared to non-chelated nutrients. Growers can blend MicroSolutions micronutrients with liquid fertilizer to help correct and/or prevent micronutrient deficiencies, which can be one of the largest stresses on crop growth and development. “The MicroSolutions line will help growers correct the micronutrient deficiencies that their crops may have,” said Raun Lohry, President of Nutra-Flo Company. “Not getting the right amount of certain micronutrients can really starve crops and reduces yield potential. Today’s high yields and stressful growing conditions can remove more nutrients than ever from the soil, and can render naturally occurring micronutrients temporarily unavailable when the plant needs them the most. Using the MicroSolutions line with starter fertilizer at planting time helps prevent these deficiencies.” Dennis Zabel, Nutra-Flo Agronomist added, “because essential crop functions are dependent on complex interactions between NPK and micronutrients, we need to consider Liebig’s Law of the Minimum: Yields are limited by the nutrient in shortest supply. If a grower’s goal is to improve fertilizer efficiency while growing more with less – they shouldn’t overlook the power of MicroSolutions micronutrients.”
About Nutra-Flo Nutra-Flo Company, based in North Sioux City, South Dakota began producing liquid fertilizer in 1954, and is now the largest independent liquid fertilizer manufacturer in the Midwest. Plant locations are in Sioux City, Iowa and Gibbon, Nebraska. NutraFlo prides itself on top-of-the-line product quality, superior service, and dependability.

Cold conditions often affect fuel flow during start-up and in daily operations. When it is cold enough to cause fuel gelling, over-theroad trucks, heavy machinery, automobiles, generators and other equipment that must operate in low temperatures can become disabled. The gelling plugs the filter, preventing fuel passage. The only solutions are to replace the filter or warm up the fuel until it flows again, requiring towing the equipment to an inside location or bringing a heater to the equipment site.

hD crop Lifter
On a hot, harvest day in 1998, Dave Dietrich discovered that long, rigid, metal lifters did not work in short, brittle, pulse crops. More lentils were going on the ground than into his combine. He needed to get those lifters off his header and was frustrated with the length of time it took to remove them since they were bolted on from underneath the header. He was losing valuable harvest time. What he needed was a lifter that: • Uses a system of attaching and removing the lifter that is quick and easy (reducing down time)
patented QD™ technology. As the farmer moves from one crop to another through varying ground conditions, the QD™ attaching system makes it very convenient for the farmer to quickly change lifters to have the best “tool” for the job. We are proud to say that our lifters are used in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and several countries in Europe. Our mission is to develop a reliable line of harvest products that are “The Choice of Mechanized Farmers Worldwide™”.
• Is short, to reduce the travel time of the crop moving from ground to header • Uses a nylon “finger” that is gentle on the crop while it lifts the crop and guides it over the knife and into the header

• Is gentle on the combine - the nylon finger will break before the metal lifter breaks causing virtually no damage to the combine

grease buster™ cleans grease fittings
• Has a forward-lifting point that is infinitely adjustable so that all the lifters work in unison The above criteria produced the Pulse Crop Lifter which is: • Gentle on the crop • Safe and gentle to the combine • Infinitely adjustable • Quick and easy to attach and remove from the header. The success of the Pulse Crop Lifter in recovering lentils, peas and edible beans convinced farmers and Dietrich that this technology would be equally effective in salvaging cereal crops that had been flattened by heavy rain, strong winds, hail or insect damage and heavy crops like canola which needed a lifter with additional strength to hold the crop above the cutting knife. The HD (heavy duty) Crop Lifter has proven its worth over the last three years. Flexxifinger QD Industries Inc. now produces the Pulse Crop Lifter, the HD Lifter, the MidCut™ lifter and the HighCut™ lifter. We have a lifting pan that can be attached to the Pulse Crop Lifter to help reduce shatter loss. the Pulse crop Lifter
The Original Grease Buster™, patented and made in the USA for 15 years, cleans grease fittings and bearings using penetrating oil and hydraulic or pneumatic pressure. The Grease Buster™ is the answer to the problem of plugged up grease fittings and bearings, a problem common in machinery. The tool consists of a heavy-duty adjustable hydraulic coupler, cylinder and a piston with a knob. Remove the piston, fill the cylinder by pouring in a penetrating solvent, start the piston back into the cylinder, place the tool onto the grease fitting and by tapping the piston (or utilizing the new pneumatic piston) force the solvent into the fitting/ bearing. The new pneumatic piston (patent pending) for the Shop Size Grease Buster™, fits into a pneumatic hammer. I have opened frozen bearings that would otherwise have to be disassembled and cleaned to get lubrication into the fitting using this new pneumatic piston with the Shop Size Grease Buster™. In the short time it’s been on the market I’ve received 100% positive comments! For more information contact T-J Tool dba Grease Buster™ Tools, P. O.

With 147,000 sq. ft. total manufacturing space they can build nearly anything to help you meet your production and sales needs. What FRE-FLO™ does: Simply stated, FRE-FLO™ is green technology engineered to work with nature. FRE-FLO™ works with the ability of calcium carbonate (a very versatile mineral) to have different forms and functions. Its remarkably different forms are seen in nature – such as in marble, limestone, sea shells, and egg shells. From cement to health food supplements, manufacturers use calcium carbonate, further demonstrating its versatility. Water conditioning prevents minerals that cause hardness in water from clumping together into hard deposit buildups. Catalytic FRE-FLO™ systems change existing hard calcium carbonate deposits, so water can flow freely, while also preventing new deposits from forming. Thus, bottomline, FRE-FLO™ is a water conditioning technology that unclogs soil pores and water-using equipment of hard calcium carbonate deposits.
Steel fabrication, welding, machining, engineering, painting and repair of all kinds Flint Cliffs was the first company in Southeast Iowa to be registered to the new 2008 ISO standard for the sixth consecutive year, with no corrective actions required. They have a new robot welder and a large powder coat paint line with a six stage wash system, and are qualified to paint for numerous fortune 500 companies. Flint Cliffs has an impressive growth history, expanding from agricultural needs 15 years ago to highway equipment, fireplaces, U.S. Military, RI Arsenal, Disney EPCOT Center and much more today.

The Power of FRE-FLO™ Water Systems FRE-FLO™ provides reliable water conditioning to solve scale problems. As an environmentally sustainable water conditioning technology, FRE-FLO™ provides effective solutions for a common, world-wide problem found in soil, pipes, and equipment – water flow stopping or slowing down because of hard calcium carbonate mineral deposits (limescale). Utilized for de-scaling in industry and business since 1972, cost-saving FRE-FLO™ solutions then expanded to agriculture and turf. A new model line was added for home in 2009. R and D is currently underway on further specialized models. What FRE-FLO™ is not: With FRE-FLO™ there are: no chemicals in daily operation, no magnets, no electricity needed, no salts required, nothing added to the water. FRE-FLO™ is not a water softener (water softeners remove minerals from the water, while FRE-FLO™ water conditioning has the big advantage of minerals remaining in water).

‘Smokeless’ wood burners feature an overall efficiency of over 86% It’s all about safety, high efficiency, and enhancing our environment when it comes to using a wood burning furnace. Lamppa Manufacturing has developed two remarkably clean burning furnaces – the Kuuma VaporFire 100 and 200. Both can heat an average insulated home up to 3,200 square feet, and are designed to eliminate wood smoke. By diminshing creosote and air pollution at the same time, the Kuuma VaporFire furnace is truly a ‘green’ product. Benefits of VaporFire Furnaces: • Makes wood burning safe • Environmentally and operator friendly • Burns wood up to 99% smokeless • Less than 1 gram per hour of emissions produced for less environmental harm • The burn is controlled automatically by a simple knob • Its unique 24-volt computer eliminates the guesswork involved in safely and cleanly burning wood One of the world’s leading testing labs have found that the VaporFire wood furnaces burn with virtually no smoke, and with an overall efficiency of more than 86% — an efficiency unheard of for wood furnaces of any kind. The furnace also scored an incredible 99.4 in combustion efficiency.
800-622-8836 |
New EPA guidelines, which were developed to reduce the emissions of particulates from new wood stoves, allow up to 7 grams per hour of particulates, which is a level that many wood stove manufacturers struggle to meet. However, the latest testing shows that the Kuuma furnaces are a spectacular exception, with results ranging from 1.0 to 0.45 grams of particulates per hour, depending on conditions.
In 1992 we were introduced to the Iveco Industrial dealership, which gave us access to an excellent line of diesels. 2005 brought on two more dealerships, as we added John Deere and Yanmar to our collection. With our ever increasing stock of parts, along with the generator sales, our facility gradually filled up. In 2011 we opened our brand new 31,000 square foot building.

Hoover Diesel Service LLC has the expertise and sources to provide complete power unit packages for the stationary non-road market Gehman Bros. of Terre Hill, Pa, was a lawnmower shop as well as a Petter Diesel dealer. Melvin Hoover joined Gehman Bros in 1973 to work in their diesel division and in 1974 bought the Petter Diesel aspect of the company and renamed the company Hoover Diesel Service. Two years later, in 1976, the business was moved to a larger facility for a higher parts stock and more engine storage space. Distributorship of the Lombardini Diesels was taken on at the same time. In 1985, the Lister company and the Petter Diesel company merged, giving us access to the Lister-Petter line of diesels. With the added capacity of selling both Lombardini and ListerPetter engines, and after several additional employees, it was decided to build a 9,000 square foot structure in 1986. It included a dedicated engine rebuilding department, larger parts department, and a road service bay.

Over 20 years ago Jim Strauss suffered a major heart attack and was told he would need bypass surgery or he would die. Jim was born into a family of herbalists stretching back to the 17th century. He learned these crafts during childhood, gathering medicinal herbs in the Austrian countryside with his grandmother. He was taught that tasting herbs could detect their medicinal value, but balance and proportion were the keys to producing formulas that were effective and immediate. Jim’s heart attack was not a fluke. He admits to having lived in the fast lane, ignoring the healthier lifestyle of his parents. He considers himself fortunate as nearly half of first time heart attacks end in death. Relying on knowledge acquired over the years, he refused the recommended surgery and instead put together an herbal formula which he immediately applied to himself with outstanding results. In 3 months, his 2” arterial blockage was cleared. Since that time, Jim has shared his formula with thousands around the world who are living testimonials to its curative powers. One of many clients recently wrote: “I would like to tell you that after three months of using Strauss Heart Drops, I am a new man. I am 86 years old, no more the tired feeling I had, my swollen feet are normal again, and my bowel is working normally. Two specialists had told me ‘we can’t help you’.” — Sincerely, Peter A. Wiebe.

Nutra-Flo® adds RoMax7™ Corn-Starter Bundle to the PureGrade® line of liquid fertilizers to help boost corn yields Contains RGS® (Root Growth Stimulator) Nutra-Flo’s zinc ammine acetate, chemically identical to ACA® Nutra-Flo Company announces the newest addition to the PureGrade product line of low-salt liquid fertilizers, RoMax7. RoMax7, a corn-starter bundle, contains a special blend of seven nutrients, (7-17-3) nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium, plus chelated January 2013
“We’re excited to offer this new product. As a corn-starter bundle, RoMax7 takes the guesswork out of planting. Growers can depend on RoMax7 to make their lives much easier,” said Ed Ummach, Vice President of the PureGrade Products Division. “RoMax7 helps prevent micronutrient deficiencies. Essential crop functions are dependent on complex interactions between NPK and micronutrients. The correct amount of some nutrients - and not enough of others – can starve your crops and reduce your yield potential.” RoMax7 delivers the same features found in all PureGrade Liquid Starter Fertilizers. The result is a more efficient use of valuable nutrients and higher yields. Crops that respond to RoMax7 include corn, soybeans, canola, cotton, wheat, and milo. Additionally, RoMax7 with RGS is useful for zinc deficient soils, one of the most common micronutrient deficiencies. Zinc ammine acetate products like RGS have been proven in field trials – on millions of acres – to increase root mass and improve yields. RGS can stimulate vigorous root growth, help intercept more nutrients and can stimulate deeper root growth to access more subsoil moisture and penetrate compacted soils.

When Randy Stull, CEO and founder of Stull Feeders, was injured in 2006 while feeding his cattle, he decided there had to be a better way. During recuperation from his injuries, he used his time to design a product that safely and efficiently fed his cattle – a way to enjoy some peaceful, easy feedin’ while avoiding the stampede. In the fall of 2007, Stull Feeders started selling early versions of the Stull Feeder to friends and family. Excitement grew and Randy finalized his design. In early 2008, Stull Feeders proudly announced its new line of ATV and UTV-mounted feeders, all designed to give cattlemen - not the cattle control over the feeding process. The 600 Lb. Auguer Fed Stull Feeder is our newest feeder. It has the same basic design as the 400 lb. feeder, but holds up to 600 lbs. of feed and is auger fed. A 12-volt motor can be wired to a battery or hooked up to a back-up battery. A 10-foot starter switch lets you operate auger from the driver’s seat. This feeder bolts to the bottom of UTV beds. These laser-crafted Stull Feeders are manufactured under the careful supervision of Randy and his team and are available in standard galvanized finish. Customers everywhere will value the durability of quality materials used in manufacturing.
• PureGrade Foliars are a wide range of slow release nitrogen, N-P-K fertilizers and micronutrient blended foliar applied products to meet nearly any crop nutrient need.
Experienced cattlemen and farmers are excited by the practical design and easyto-use Stull Feeder. “Just one use and you’ll understand what we mean when we say, peaceful, easy feedin’,” says Randy.

The Super Reels are made with precision laser cut robust steelwork that is unmatched in quality and durability.
conventional tillage operations, extending the growing season and creating better planting conditions. Vertical tillage prepares the soil to warm more quickly in early spring, energizing the seedbed for maximum growth and yield potential. In addition the Vertical Tillage Coulter Kit Attachment allows for shallow seedbed preparation which decreases the risk of excess soil density below the root zone.
Sometimes when removing a tree you don’t want to leave a stump in your field or pasture. Precision Manufacturing can now eliminate that problem with The Tree Puller.
New in 2011 is a wireless remote control that allows the operator to retract the hose full of liquid fertilizer or water from a distance of up to 80 feet. No more emptying the hose or trying to coil it up in a truck or trailer. The Super Reels are available in 1”, 2”, and 3” models and can easily ship anywhere. A hand-held hardwired controller is also available.
The Tree Puller safely removes the tree – stump, roots and all! Uproot unwanted bushes and trees with ease. You can also remove fence posts or move large rocks, making land management much easier.

For years, farmers have experienced broken mirrors, broken glass and scratched paint on their tractors, combines and haying equipment from limbs hanging over their fields. Equipment repair is expensive! It is either take the chance of damaging your equipment or drive around the limbs and lose up to 15’ of production from the edges of your fields.
Vertical Tillage Coulter Kit Attachment gets even stronger
The Vertical Tillage Coulter Kit Attachment can be equipped with a wide selection of coulter blades. Spaced on 6” centers, the coulter blades can be matched to achieve the desired amount of tillage and residue sizing.
Ron’s Manufacturing has added two more bearings to their kits. This makes the kits even more heavy duty.

Cost Effective. Our patented system is less expensive than installing an aeration floor and under the floor system. If you have an existing bin and need to replace the rusted out tube in your concrete floor, this system is the best solution. You can install the Schiltz Center Unload System in each of your bins and purchase only one power head and/or sweep auger as they can me moved from bin to bin. We can special build the power head with short extensions to accommodate bins similar of size.
What Our Customers Are Saying “The Schiltz system has saved me a lot of time. Instead of renting a grain vac – which can get expensive – I now just use this to get the grain out of my bin.”
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
A Center Unload System to fit every farmer’s needs Established in the mid-1980’s, Schiltz Manufacturing was born of a concept from 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. Located in northwest Iowa, each Center Unload System is custom-built to your bin

hether in the ‘back forty’ of your farm or ranch, or mixed in the local rental yard’s fleet, it’s tough to go far without finding a small portable generator. These units are common in so many arenas because they do one important thing and they do it well – supply power. And power is required in just about every setting. But while they do fulfill one main task, the generator itself isn’t quite so simple. Head over to the local rental center, dealership or big box store and you’ll be greeted with a seemingly endless selection of generators. Several different models exist, from the highest priced units with more features than a multiplex movie theater, to the lowest-cost, most basic models – and those that fall in between. So maybe it’s not as simple as “just a power source”. Yes, all generators ultimately achieve this one function, but there is quite a difference between top-ofthe-line, expensive units and basic, inexpensive models. Some units include special features designed to reduce noise, run longer and be more fuel-efficient, while others don’t do much but start up – at least, that’s the hope. For all generator needs, this is where the questions begin. Is the most expensive model with all the bells and whistles necessary? Or will a basic unit with next to no features be sufficient in meeting needs? To arrive at the correct and most cost-effective answer, it will be first necessary to examine available features and the latest technology, then take a look at what’s currently offered on the market.
A Brief Overview When it comes to portable, gas-powered generators, the list of options can be about a mile long, so it’s important to first consider the basic criteria for any unit, regardless of application. While not all generators include every feature and not every end-user requires it all, the following will provide a good, basic list. The number one consideration for a gas-powered generator has to be the engine. Because the engine is the driving force behind operation, it won’t matter how well the rest of the unit is built if the engine doesn’t live up to the highest expectations. The engine’s components, such as the air cleaner, fuel tank and muffler can vary greatly in quality, and will have a major impact on longevity, productivity and noise emissions. Additionally, the EPA has established four levels for engine emission control standards – Tier I, II, III and IV – with deadlines for each tier of increased standards to be reached, making the engine that much more crucial. Also important is the generator’s control panel, which can range from basic up to professional-grade. The latter, a professional-grade control panel, includes features designed to increase safety, protect the generator from damage and offer convenience for the operator. Quality generators are built with an all-inclusive, professionalgrade panel, while cheap, low-quality units withhold these important items. Finally, the construction quality and components and features found outside of the engine will be top considerations. And don’t forget the value of one of the most important items that can’t be found anywhere on the generator – a warranty program, backed by a good service network. Now that the basics are covered, let’s apply the information to distinguish the differences in the three basic classes of generators: industrial, commercial and consumer.

Top to Bottom and In-Between:
Breaking down the differences in portable gas-powered generators – By Pam Meyer, Equipment Sales Manager, Subaru Industrial Power Products
Premium Pick At the very top of the generator offering tree are units commonly referred to as industrial generators. These premium models offer the entire expanse of features – and come with a higher price tag to match. Because industrial generators are the cream of the crop, they’re virtually always equipped with a fuel-efficient, EPA-compliant, top-of-the-line engine. Oftentimes, the generator and its engine will be manufactured by the same company, offering the added benefit of providing the customer, whether an end-user or rental center, with one integrated unit and warranty policy covering the whole machine. In addition to delivering reliability and efficiency, a premium engine incorporates high quality components – most notable being the fuel tank. Typically constructed of steel, good fuel tanks are large in capacity for several hours of uninterrupted run time, eliminating frequent refueling and excessive downtime. Also offered on most industrial units, an easy-to-read fuel gauge allows accurate monitoring, and a fuel strainer ensures no contaminants enter the tank during refueling. Other engine components include sound-suppressing mufflers to keep noise emissions at bay, and heavy-duty air cleaners to prevent harmful debris from entering and damaging the engine, and further reduce noise. Finally, a low-oil shut-off detects low oil pressure and automatically shuts off the engine, resulting in less maintenance and a longer machine life. But industrial generators offer more benefits than what are found in just the engine. For example, an auto idle control system conserves even more fuel by lowering the generator’s engine to an idle when power is not being drawn from the system, while a dual-capacitor voltage regulation system protects from power surges. External battery chargers offer added convenience, and a fullpower switch allows 120-volt full power connection to one receptacle. A professional-grade control panel is found on higher quality, OSHA-compliant, industrial units, and includes safety features such as ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacles. GFCIs are regulated by OSHA for generators exceeding 5,000 watts, because they encourage safe operation by helping protect operators from electrocution. To avoid fines or other penalties from OSHA, professional contractors especially must take note of the generator’s control panel. In addition to GFCIs, a professional-grade control panel includes an AC circuit breaker to protect the unit from overload, an hour meter for maintenance tracking, and plenty of 120- and 240volt outlets, ensuring adequate means to power a full worksite’s equipment or home backup list.

A commercial unit will meet the need for a quality generator – at a budget price. Finally, the generator’s overall construction will indicate a premium unit. Industrial generators often feature high quality construction, including steel frames to protect the unit from damage. And whether standard or optional, industrial generators offer portability-enhancing kits, ensuring easy transport. For those who require this caliber of generator, having all the perks is worth the price of admission. Typically professionals such as large construction, building and landscape contractors are the primary audience. Rental center operators will also benefit from including premium, industrial generators in their fleet, as features like hour meters and higher-quality engines allow easier maintenance and serviceability. While all the technology, features and resulting benefits obviously seem appealing, it’s worth noting that not every one will require this sophisticated a generator – nor will they have budget allotment. As such, two other classes are offered to meet varying needs.
Basic Buy Several types of extremely pared down, simple generators are available, all falling into the category of light-duty consumer generators. Manufacturers of these units typically assume most end-users purchase one simply to

have on hand in case of a blackout, or to provide the occasional backup power boost on a work site. In other words, it’s almost expected that consumer generators will rarely be used and, therefore, they aren’t built for the same longevity, sound reduction and fuel efficiency characteristics of their premium counterparts. Consumer units will supply power, but because of their simplistic design and construction quality, typically don’t last many hours, nor can most take the abuse of a typical work site or life in a rental yard. Many skimp on the majors like a good control panel, and overall construction and component quality. And because they’re not looked at as an investment, but rather a disposable item, many consumer generator manufacturers even forgo features that aid in and encourage routine maintenance – most importantly, a warranty program and service network This isn’t to say consumer generators don’t have a place in the market; they certainly do. They’re a lowcost option for those on a strict budget. And for others, they may only plan on using the generator once or twice, but prefer to own one so it’s available when needed, rather than take the time to rent one when a need arises. Whatever the reason, buyers just must go into the purchase realizing the unit may only last them a short amount of time. But because most people in agriculture are looking for even a small return on investment, consumer generators may not offer enough to justify the purchase. But at the same time, many end-users and smaller rental centers aren’t able to splurge on an expensive industrial model. To address and fill this gap, some manufacturers provide a high-quality, yet lower-cost alternative to expensive industrial styles. These units give consumers a bit more bang for their buck and potential for quick ROI.
Uncompromising Option
Like their industrial counterparts, commercial units often have a professional-grade control panel. durability and the capacity to provide long run time without refueling. And many styles of commercial generators still offer the small, yet valuable add-ins like a fuel tank gauge and strainer. Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) systems are left out of cheap consumer models, but are often found on commercial units. An AVR system is somewhat unique in that it provides precise voltage control and output, making the generator appropriate for sensitive electronic equipment like computers – a valuable benefit most premium industrial units can’t even boast. As with industrial generators, a professional-grade control panel indicates a better quality machine, and many commercial models don’t skimp. GFCI receptacles, an AC circuit breaker, as well as plenty of standard outlets are provided. Commercial generators often include an hour meter for maintenance tracking and service, as well as a lowoil alert light to signal when the lubrication level drops.
A person simply looking for a backup power source is unlikely to require an industrial generator, yet will want something more reliable and long-lasting than a cheap, throw-away unit. For this large group of customers, commercial generators offer an ideal “middle of the road” option.
When portability needs are a factor, many consumer generators don’t address this consideration, but commercial units go above and beyond. Some offer wheel kits and wheelbarrow handles to aid in portability ease; many include these as standard features.
In their most general terms, commercial generators are a less expensive generator choice compared to industrial models. They still fulfill the basic requirement – supplying power – however, don’t include all the bells and whistles like their industrial counterparts. But the key is, they’re able to trim out features without sacrificing quality, advanced technology and reliable performance of expensive models.
Who knew there was so much to small portable generators? While many tend to associate price with quality, it’s more important to consider what the unit has to offer. Knowing just the basics will help all end-users place each unit into one of the three main classes, and help guide the selection process. In many cases, it will be necessary to make the investment and go with an industrial generator. However, a high-quality commercial unit can pack a big punch, and provide reliability, durability and continuous power that farmers and ranchers demand, without blowing up a budget.
For starters, a quality engine is key to a highperformance generator. While some consumer generator manufacturers skimp on the engine, commercial units incorporate a high quality engine. Some also provide a premium-grade warranty that covers the entire unit. In addition to the engine itself, many commercial generators include quality components like a good muffler to suppress noise and air cleaner to protect the engine. Metal fuel tanks provide excellent
