LOOK AT OUR BIG SAVINGS: MF 230 Tractor SAVE $400.00 MF 235 Tractor SAVE $400.00 MF 255 Tractor SAVE $400.00 Seek a reputable dealer Consumer hints on buying beef in bulk Many consumers may presently be considering purchasing beef in bulk in the anticipation of bar- beque season and fluc- tuating prices. Before heading out to buy, you need to realize a side of beef is one half the carcass of the animal cut down the middle from front (head) to rear (rump). When a 'quarter of beef' is talked about, it refers to 'half a side' which can either be the front half or hind half. The front quarter will contain a higher proportion of less tender cuts. Consumers should be aware that bulk beef is normally sold on a 'hanging weight' basis. This is the weight before the meat is cut, or any fat trimmed and _ bone removed. There will be about 25 per cent waste from a side. For example, if you buy a 300 lb. side, only approximately 225 Ibs of beef will go into your freezer. This means the actual price per pound of beef is higher than the quoted sale price. If the sale price was 90 cents per pound, the price actually paid is 90 x 300 divided by 225 which equals $1.20 per Ib. Always check to deter- mine if the quoted price includes the price of cutting, wrapping and freezing. Be sure to ask your butcher to label each package with the cut and the weight. The lop grade is Canada A, which represents about two- thirds of all beef car- casses, and is the grade handled extensively by retail chains. Canada A grade beef is divided into ~ 4fat cetegories, with 1 the leanest and 4 the fattest. Consequently, trim on an 'Al' carcass is less than on an 'Aq'. Have your butcher flash freeze meat if possible. If not, freeze as quickly as possible at or below 0 degrees F. Do not pile large quantities of meat in the freezer at one time. Spread meat through the freezer. Buying a bulk supply of beef represents a major dollar outlay, so seek out a reputable dealer and avoid unrealistically low advertised prices. Making good use of homegrown fertilizer This spring, farmers are making good use of that homegrown fertilizer -- manure, as a sup- plement to commercial fertilizers. Manure not only sup- plies the basic nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also all the other elements essential for plant growth plus organic matter. Manures are not all the same. They are _ in- fluenced by livestock species, age of animals, methods of feeding and bedding, as well as manure storage and handling. Manure can now be analysed by the Depart- ment of Land R source Science at Guelph. The cost ranges from $11.50 to $14.50 per sample depending on the level of sophistication. Many farmers take time to calibrate sprayers, but how many calibrate their manure spreaders. Application rates tend to be un- derestimated on many farms. Spraying Checklist The weed spraying season will soon be upon us and it might be timely to review a spraying checklist. 1. spraying speed -- you must decide in advance on a constant speed to ensure uniform ap- plication. This is usually 4 or 5 m.p.h. 2. water -- use only clean water that has all debris, sand and mud removed. 3. agitation -- provision must be made to return 3 to 5 gallons of solution to the tank each minute. 4. pumps -- they should be calibrated at least once a year. 5. nozzle tips -- these should be checked regularly for wear. They should be replaced before they deliver 10 per cent more than they did when new. There are four nozzle materials available -- _ brass, plastic, stainless steel and hardened stainless steel. Choose the material least suited to the her- bicide being used.
