Hydraulic Powered Disc Unveiled at Waterloo
A proto type hydraulic powered disc barrow named Dynatil debuted at a Waterloo field demonstration. Developed by U S Steel and Ingersoll Products, it aims to boost farm productivity and conserve fuel by hydraulically powering four adjustable disc gangs for faster tillage under tough weather. Field tests over two years supported power requirements and performance, and manufacturers are invited to market the product commercially.

Powered tillage concept aims to cut erosion and boost field work
S. S. DeForest of U S Steel argues that on the go adjustment of gang angles and speeds in powered tillage improves soil pulverization control and residue incorporation reducing erosion and runoff. Field tests show disc gangs can max out angles to mix residue, while on slopes angles drop to protect soils.

DES Ban Has Little Impact on Feeding Industry
ISU scientist Wise Burroughs says a DES ban will affect few cattle feeders now, since earlier FDA action already cut use. Allen Trenkle notes costs rise and future bans threaten substitutes. Zmolek lists implants and alternatives like Synovex and MGA, while Rumensin may boost feed efficiency, especially with DES.

Giant Hay Bales Endanger Iowa Farmers in Four Accidents
Iowa State University extension engineer Dale Hall warns large round hay bales, 1200 to 1500 pounds, have caused four serious incidents since July 1. Accidents stem from high front end loader lifts and bales rolling backward onto operators, with injuries including paralysis, neck fractures, and severed limbs. Hull urges care with bale handling, using proper rear-mounted carriers, slow travel, and avoiding steep slopes, noting bales roll downhill with increasing speed and new bales are easier to move.
