Times-Advocate, 1985-07-17, Page 9ATTEND SEMINAR About 50 area farmers attended a seminar on combine harvester ad- justments at the Huron Tractor facili- ty in Exeter. The program included a discussion on the new John Deere Titan II com- bines followed by breakout sessions on various combine operations. These included cutting and feeding, threshing and separating, cleaning and grain handling and demonstra- tion of the HarvesTrainer. The John Deere HarvesTrainer is a unique computer program design- ed to demonstrate the effect of opera- tional adjustments to the functional areas of a combine, the sensitivity of combine harvesting performance in varying crop conditions and the relative levels of capacity of various combine model and header size combinations. The HarvesTrainer is a spinoff from an automated harvesting con- trols research project using a com- bine harvesting simulation program as its basis.

Patrons do not need to own a cassette player to take advantage of the library's Talking Book service. Cassette players are available at all of the branches with Talking Book collections.

Times -Advocate, July 17, 1985 Page 9 Army worm march not evident in area There's always an "if" in farming life. if the warm weather continues, if adequate rain keeps falling, and i1 no disasters such as hail or pestilence strike, this year's crops should be well in this area. Though still behind, corn and beans are rapidly making up for slow development caused by mixed-up spring that brought warm weather in April, frosty nights in May, and less than seasonal rainfall as the crops emerged. The predicted infestation of ar- myworms did not materialize. for- tunately. According to farm manage- ment specialist Brian Hall in the Clin- ton office, only two wheat fields ( one south of Exeter and the other south of Clinton) had to be sprayed, and the pests have not yet moved into other crops. A,periodic check of fields for any signs of trouble is recommended. The winter wheat is ahead of nor- mal, and harvesting is expected to begin before the end of the month. Spring grain is filling out well, and should be ready for the combines by early August. Hall said recent heavy rains have flattened the grain in some fields. Hall suggested that growers use the relatively calm interlude before the grain harvest begins to clean out and spray their bins to make them ready to receive this year's crop. Hall cautioned corn producers drop -nozzle spraying for field bind- weed with Kilmor, 2-4D or Panvel to make sure they cease spraying two weeks before tasseling, or the corn will be set back. Hall concluded that on the whole, crops look good right now. Alan Oakes, office supervisor at the Exeter Aylmer-Delmonte canning factory, reported a pea crop good in quality and quantity, with one-third of the pea harvest completed.
