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.

cassette player to take advantage of
the library's Talking Book service.
Cassette players are available at all
of the branches with Talking Book

temporary loan. Patrons who wish to
try the service before deciding
whether or not to invest in their own

tical. Cassette players are also

Army worm march

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.
