FARM ADVICE
Save all the
energy you can
How is your E.C.P. for 1985 com-
ing along? What with energy costs ris-
ing and no end in sight — and with
conventional energy sources dwindl-
ing and the end very much in sight for
those who care to look — every one
of us, particularly those who are far-
ming, should have an Energy Conser-
vation Plan for 1985. As farmers, we
are big consumers of fossil fuels, and
have, more than most, a big oppor-
tunity to conserve petroleum energy.
Here are a few energy conservation
ideas, most of which will make good
sense within your farming operation.
And give yourself a pat on the back
for every one you're already practis-
ing:
• DIESEL POWER: uses 25 per cent
less fuel per working hour.
• MATCH THE LOAD TO THE
TRACTOR: thereby using available
horsepower more effectively.
• SLOW DOWN: when there's no
tillage or seeding rush and you'll
decrease fuel consumption per hour.
• A WELL TUNED TRACTOR:
will save you more in fuel than the
cost of points, plugs, condensers, and
filters you replace.
• A PROPERLY WEIGHTED
TRACTOR: will use potential
horsepower more effectively.
• CHECK FOR SLIPPAGE AFTER
WEIGHTING: proper slippage is
between 10 per cent and 15 per cent
under a heavy load; under 10 per cent
the tractor is too heavy; over 15 per
cent add weight.
