MODERN MACHINERY USED IN FARMING
■:r m . **£■=
®Department of Agriculture Photo
The use of modern, efficient farm machinery is seen more and more on Maianuslca Valley
farms. Pictured above is the field silage cutter recently purchased by Vic Falk, Sr. Vic
Falk, Jr. is at the wheel cutting oat-pea silage.
The field chopper is the newest of its type in the valley and is made by the John Deere
Company This type of equipment is being used more and more as labor saving machinery
comes So the valley. Silage is cut in the field and then blown into upright silos or dumped
into the trench type silos, saving the operat ions of cutting, binding, and hauling before
chopping. Although the field chopper will pick up from wind-rows, it is commonly used in
the above illustrated way. _
