Fall harvest -
farm safety
CLINTON - The fall harvest sea-
son is here and with it comes the
risk of farm accidents. Take the
time to see that all machinery has
shields and guards in place.
Do not take shortcuts when it
comes to dealing with your safety.
No amount of time saved is worth
the risk of lost limbs or a life. No
one plans an accident but we can
plan to prevent one from happening
by using common sense.
Make safety your goal today and
every day. Farm safety involves
;veryone.

September 28, 1996
Dear Customer;
Traditionally, the sales season for seed has
been November to February. In the last seed season, Ciba
Seeds was the first seed company to introduce Corn Borer
resistant corn. This year we have 6 BT Corn Borer varieties to
offer (2600 to 3200 HU).
However, due to the overwhelming demand for these varieties,
they will be sold out by mid October. I have just started out to
get our to see you - the grower, in the last week and it does
take time.
Therefore, for those who know they would like to order
Maximizer Corn, please give me a call at 235-0567; 660-
9689; 642-8797.
Orders for Maximizer Corn will also be taken at the Seed
Demonstration Day On October 11.
Thank You, Jeff Borland
