SPUDNIK
Spudnik Equipment Company continues to look for innovative ideas and solutions to improve the current equipment
offering and to introduce new equipment that will help the grower increase the efficiency and profitability of their operations.
The new Crop Cart which was proto typed in 2013 was in limited production in 2014 and will be in full production in
2015. During planting in 2014 the Crop Cart has proved to be a valuable tool to increase planting efficiency by keeping the
planters in the field and bringing the seed to the planter. With a capacity of 700 sacks, the Crop Cart can fill multiple planters
with a single load. Planter fill time is now achieved in seconds rather than minutes allowing more acres to be planted in a day.
The Crop Cart was used during both potato and sugar beet harvest improving harvester efficiency. In addition to potatoes
and sugar beets the Crop Cart was used in carrots and cucumbers and a grain unloading system will be developed in 2015
to allow the machine to be used in grain and corn harvest.
Removing stones, rocks, clods, and other debris from potatoes continues to be accomplished with the stationary AirSep
eliminator and the AirSep harvesters. The machines continue to evolve and new options have been added to meet the needs
of growers in a variety of soil conditions. The stationary AirSep eliminator has proved to be a great tool in both the spring
and fall to eliminate debris coming out of and going into storage.
The Spudnik cultivator introduced in 2014 in a 6 and 8 row configuration does a great job in loosening the soil for tuber
growth and improving water absorption. The cultivator is designed with the ripper shank closer to the tractor reducing side
shifting and the possibility of disturbing the planted seed piece. The rock protection system is controlled hydraulically for
both the raise and lower functions eliminating stress to the frame. The machines have a large rolling paddle or prop to create
a deep pocket for water conservation.
The sugar beet harvester was prototyped for the second year with several modifications made to the machine to improve
and enhance its function. In addition a 6 row front mounted defoliator and a 12 row trailed defoliator were developed and
introduced to the market. These machines will be in limited production in 2015 with additional improvements incorporated
into the design.
The engineers at Spudnik continue to incorporate new ideas and developments in technology to improve the entire line of
Spudnik equipment. As a leader in the potato industry we are always looking for ways to improve the machinery efficiency
to help the growers realize a return sooner on their investment. Spudnik is dedicated to providing innovative solutions to
the potato industry to help growers realize harvesting success!

Sprinklers?

®
NEW
www.senninger.com
Made in U.S.A.
Like pivots, combines and other
farm equipment, sprinkler packages
need to be inspected each year if
you expect to use them for another
season. Senninger has always told
growers they should visually inspect
all sprinklers for potential damage,
but while a broken sprinkler is easy
to identify and replace, it may
be harder to see wear issues in
sprinklers that are still operating.
Everything Has a Working Life
Though it is tempting to hold on to a sprinkler that
technically works, worn out components will alter
your overall system’s uniformity and efficiency.
Sprinklers don’t last forever and the impact of
a single sprinkler problem can cause significant
yield reductions and water waste.
This is especially true for sprinklers on the
outer 30% of the center pivot system.
Identifying issues doesn’t have to be difficult
though. Many are easy to spot through a quick
visual check of your field. In fact, some of the
most common wear symptoms include:
Extra water in some field areas and
insufficient water in others
 Uneven crop growth
 Flows exceeding sprinkler package design
 Flow or pressure variations when operating
at system design pressure.

A Simple Solution for a Simple Problem
Nozzles and pressure regulators can last for years
when spreading clean water, but any abrasive
qualities in the irrigation water this could shorten
a their life. The most common trouble spots are
usually along the first few spans of a pivot since
these sprinklers normally have smaller nozzles
sizes.
Other common issues that can shorten a product’s
life include unflushed chemicals along the pipeline
and long operating hours.
If your sprinklers are showing their age don’t
replace parts. Upgrade your sprinkler package to
upgrade your profits.

MAGNATION
CHEMICAL-FREE WATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS
Water treated with Magnation water systems create soft, easy to
absorb and utilize “RainLike Water” maximizing the delivery of high
quality water, oxygen and nutrients to your soil. Rainbolt™ and the allnew Turbulator™ water treatment systems maximize water utilization
for better water penetration improving moisture-holding capacity of the
soil and crop/turf uniformity. Improve water quality, address hard water
problems and reduce irrigation requirements.
Backed by data and field studies, Magnation has proven to improve soil
penetration, balance soil pH, reduce SAR’s (Salt absorption ratios) up
to 50%, reduce salt build-up in soils and scale issues (calcium, lime, iron
scale and corrosion build-up) in pipes and equipment, improve plant
vitality and disease resistance reducing nematodes and pathogens, iron
bacteria, bicarbonate issues, and more. Magnation’s water systems make
for mellower soils by reducing friction and density in the water. Due to
friction loss, water flow is improved and energy consumption is reduced
by 10%. Due to improved solubility, less inputs are needed and water
resources are stretched.
As the platinum standard in chemical
-free, energy-free and
maintenance-free watersoftening technologies, Magnation is proud
to introduce the patent pending Turbulator™ for high-salt issues, using
the power of physics to transform water into it’s most productive state,
benefiting your soils, crops and bottom line. Come and take a look at
Booth 17!
Magnation water systems come with a seven-year Manufacturers
Warranty and have an excellent ROI, usually paying for themselves
within the first year. Get rid of your softener at home with our products
as well! Proudly made in USA.

Maximum Water
Utilization
RainLike Water for healthier soil
and crops, improved yields,
using 20% less water and inputs.
Chemical-free, energy-free, maintenance-free water treatment for all your water issues.
Our highest quality water systems typically pay for themselves in 1 year.
Data-backed, field-proven and farmer-endorsed.
Magnation Water Technologies offer Maximum Water Utilization,
benefiting your bottom line with easy-to-use, long-lasting products.
“We’ve seen a noticeable difference in reduced wind drift
on the water treated with Magnation. We also found that
the water was penetrating 4-6” deeper on the treated
acreage—even in the pivot tracks.”
“Our sugar beets have bigger tops and look healthier with
less stress. We’re seeing better absorption as we previously
had spots that looked like concrete in the treated area
which are now more vegetative and getting more uniformity.
We’re also stretching our water.”

BIO HUMA NETICS, INC.
Founded in 1973, Bio Huma Netics, Inc. (BHN) claims the
uniqueness of “complexing” nutrients and other ingredients with
very small – highly refined liquid nano-sized carbon molecules.
This delivery vehicle is called Micro Carbon Technology®
(MCT®) is what makes BHN’s liquid plant nutrition and
specialty products much more effective and efficient than any
other known plant nutrient sources on the market.
HUMA GRO® nutritional products, manufactured by BHN,
offer growers full crop programs and has a sustainable solution
for every crop need: Sustainable Soil Fertility, Optimal
Growth Management, Ultra-Efficient Crop Nutrition (N-P-K
macronutrients & micronutrients), Zero-Residue Crop
Protection (OMRI-Listed), and Carbon-Rich Organic Acids.
All HUMA GRO® liquid nutrition products contain MCT®.
MCT® based HUMA GRO® products have a positive
environmental impact that promote the growth of roots
and beneficial microorganisms in the soil, are safe for foliar
application to leaves without toxicity or burn when applied
per label instructions, and that reduce the amount of fertilizer
applied and crop protection products needed to accomplish
maximum results.
The unique Micro Carbon Technology® allows individual and
mixed nutrients to be absorbed by the plant more efficiently. The
tiny molecule size makes all the difference. It adds effectiveness
to the fertilizer and protects nutrients from soil “tie up”. The
smaller carbon molecule size also creates a greater surface area
to more easily carry nutrients into the plant.
For instance, this process allows the phosphate in HUMA
GRO®’s SUPER PHOS® to remain available to the plant (when
soil applied) in high pH soils and cold and/or wet soil conditions
which normally results in standard phosphate fertilizers
becoming ineffective soon after application. This ability to
“hold available” the individual nutrient for an extended period
of time dramatically increases the efficiency of HUMA GRO®
products. This process also allows HUMA GRO® to combine
different nutrients in a combination that normally would not
be compatible (e.g: phosphate and calcium) and have each of
the nutrients retain their individual attributes. Micro Carbon
Technology® “complexing” gives the grower the confidence
that HUMA GRO® products will have outstanding, consistent,
verifiable results every time the grower uses them.
The use of HUMA GRO® products in both soil and foliar
applications gives growers the flexibility to fine tune their
nutrition program to achieve quality improvements and yield
increases. The efficient and effective delivery of the necessary
nutrient package to the plant at the optimum time in a manner
that maximizes the products efficiency which gives the grower
a definite edge. BHN and HUMA GRO® are 4R Nutrient
Stewardship Partners of the Fertilizer Institute. This delivery
system also gives growers a cost advantage over other soil
and foliar applied products. HUMA GRO® products with
Micro Carbon Technology® will continue to set the industry
standard for reducing costs, reducing environmental impact and
increasing the quality and yields of your crop.

REINKE
Stronger, Lighter, Advanced Irrigation from Reinke
Providing irrigation where it is needed,
when it is needed, and in the quantities
that are needed, a Reinke irrigation
system delivers. Combining high-strength
steel, superior engineering and advanced
technology, an irrigation system from
Reinke is uncompromisingly durable and
built with irrigation efficiency in mind.
www.reinke.com
The use of high-strength steel allows
the structural components to be lighter,
yet stronger, which in turn results in a
lighter overall structure. This improves
floatation, reduces tracking or rutting and
results in less stress to the system’s critical
components which produce extended
reliability.
Advanced structural engineering has
resulted in features like the single leg
tower and the V-ring seal. Advanced
technology for Reinke systems includes
Navigator GPS guidance for end of system
and Swing Arm Corners, Variable Rate
Irrigation (VRI) and Ontrac Remote
Management solutions.
EXPECT DURABILITY WHEN
SUPERIOR ENGINEERING MEETS
HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL .
Yes, our pivots look a little different, but when you use highstrength steel that is 50% stronger, uncommon engineering
solutions can be used that bring a lot of benefi t to your operation.
In the end every Reinke pivot will not only span your field, it will
stretch far into the future.
Strong, efficient and innovative, an
irrigation system from Reinke is designed,
built and serviced to provide efficient,
long term irrigation.

bottom line is that the grower has to use
chemicals to help produce a healthier, more
bountiful crop. If we can supply him those
products at a more economical price, then
he stands a better chance of making a profit.
Helping the grower to succeed is imperative
to the long term success of the entire agricultural industry.”

FARM BUREAU INSURANCE
On May 1, 1947, a group of Idaho farmers and ranchers founded an insurance company that survived decades of change through the creation of
a customer-centered culture grounded in the belief that neighbors should help neighbors. That company, the Idaho Farm Insurance Company, (the
company changed its name to Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company of Idaho in the 1950s when it became a mutual company owned by its
policyholders) offered one policy - auto insurance, from its downtown Pocatello office. Premiums for the first 60 days of business totaled $10,247.00.
Subsequent generations of employees and agents, guided by the founders’ beliefs, built the company into what it is today: one of Idaho’s leading auto
insurers, the largest writer of farm and ranch insurance in Idaho, and the largest insurance company wholly based in Idaho.
Recognizing customer needs has always been at the core of Farm Bureau Insurance’s success. In 1953, at the request of customers, life insurance
was offered through an affiliate company. Fire insurance was offered in 1956, also in response to customer requests. In 1961, the company formed
the Farm Bureau Finance Company (now Idaho Farm
Bureau Financial Services) to make low-interest loans
available to customers. In 1962, the company was the first
to inaugurate a complete “package” policy that combined
multiple insurance products into one convenient policy,
typically at a discounted price.
This customer-centered focus still shapes Farm Bureau
Insurance today and inspires its employees and agents to
get to know their customers. For example, Farm Bureau
Insurance agents try to review their customers’ policies
with them once a year. These reviews may take a little
more time, but they can help make sure customers don’t
have too little or too much insurance.
Imagine, A Farm & Ranch Insurance
Policy Created By People Who
Actually Farm & Ranch.
We introduced our first farm and ranch insurance policies back in 1947.
Their immediate popularity with farmers and ranchers was due to the
fact that we understood people who made their living from the land.
Today, some 65 years later, we’re the largest writer of farm and ranch
insurance in Idaho. We’ve made improvements to the coverage here
and there, but the spirit of cooperation and trust that made Farm
Bureau Insurance so helpful back then are still the cornerstone of their
prominence today.
If you’re in the market for a new policy call one of our knowledgeable
agents today. They’ll tell you all about a farm and ranch policy…that was
actually created by farmers and ranchers.
Visit www.idahofarmbureauinsurance.com to find the agent nearest you.
On reaching this special milestone of 65 years, Phil Joslin,
Executive Vice President and CEO of Farm Bureau Mutual
Insurance Company of Idaho, pledged the company’s
renewed commitment to the ideals on which it was
founded. “Our longevity rests on our founders’ success
in shaping a customer-driven company. Their beliefs and
values from the past can guide us into a promising future.”
While Joslin says growth is important for Farm
Bureau Insurance, he also believes it’s important to
achieve this growth ethically. “The people of Farm
Bureau Mutual Insurance Company of Idaho have been
earning our customers’ trust and keeping promises for
65 years. But we know we can’t rely on what has been
earned in the past. We are passionately committed to
maintaining our reputation as a customer-centered
company that helps its neighbors.”
Helping its neighbors, Joslin added, also means that
Farm Bureau Insurance will carry on its long history
of volunteerism and public service. “We can only do
these things with the best people. I want to thank our
employees – who live and work in communities of every
size across the state – for the active roles they play in
their hometowns and for the contributions they make to
our success.”

STERLING
hank you for expressing interest in Sterling products. Sterling
T
manufactures the 8800 OnePass, soil packers, soil conditioners, and
plow packers. These products are designed to help today’s farming
operations conserve soil, soil moisture and reduce tillage passes
throughout the season. Sterling products are manufactured with
high quality materials and engineered to provide years of use.
Sterling is specialized in the soil conditioning business; therefore,
our focus surrounds the concept of achieving the perfect seedbed.
The process of creating a perfect seedbed begins as soon as the
previous crop is harvested. We believe that every tillage pass through
the field impacts the seeding process. Crop yields are affected by
many different factors, some of these factors are uncontrollable,
however, some are within a farmer’s responsibility to control.
Seed placement is one of the most important factors that impacts
yields. Sterling products firm the seedbed without causing
compaction, allowing planting equipment to place the seed at a
precise depth while leaving some loose soil on top to cover the seed.
Controlling moisture loss is another important factor. If the soil is
left fluff y following tillage operations it will dry out to the depth of
the tillage pass. Sterling products firm the soil directly behind tillage
tools to reduce soil moisture loss.
Reducing passes required to make the optimum seedbed has
become one of the most important factors impacting farm
productivity with rising fuel costs. Sterling has answered with
the 8800 OnePass. With a OnePass, multiple tillage passes can
by eliminated by doing more tasks in one pass. The OnePass was
designed with today’s streamlined farming operation in mind.
Please call us if you need additional information or we can help
you in any way.

Agri-SC® /FOUR STAR SERVICES
Constant tillage, heavy traffic, lack of organic matter, chemical fertilizer residues, and heavy
rainfall or irrigation, all contribute to the formation of a compaction zone within the soil.
Tillage practices break up the natural soil aggregates into fine particles. These soil fines work
their way down to eventually form a tight and almost waterproof layer of hard pan. Even in
no-till situations, the compaction layer will still form. Some of the obvious symptoms of
soil compaction are surface crusting, water run-off , erosion, poor root development, poor
emergence, plant stress, slow nutrient uptake, and little or no earthworm activity.
All agricultural soils contain colloids (soil fines). Colloids are strongly negatively charged.
Colloids attract and hold all positively charged elements, such as the hydrogen component
of water. Colloids eventually become a major part of the compaction zone. Applied water
will become virtually locked in place at this zone. This prevents any further applied water
from penetrating into the sub-soils. This phenomenon is described as “soil-bound water”.
Agri-SC® is a commercial anionic soil-amending product that, when applied through spray
application onto the soil, exchanges or frees the bound hydrogen. This in turn releases the
colloid particles to move together within the soil. The result is the creation of additional
micropores. These pores allow the water to move, as a result of gravity, downward into
the soil below the compaction zone. Because Agri-SC® has the ability to work vertically
into soil with applied water and to assist water in penetrating through the compaction
zone to the sub-soil, the number and
size of the micropore spaces (air) within
the soil including the compaction zone
will increase. During a wet season, AgriSC® treated soils will absorb water more
readily and therefore, help reduce erosion.
During dry seasons, the water that AgriSC® assists in penetrating into the subsoil can travel upwards to the plant’s root
system by capillary action. This capillary
action helps relieve plant stress. Agri-SC®
treated soils allow the roots to grow into
the compaction zone, translating into
healthier and stronger plants with greater
yields.
Agri-SC® also improves soil friability
by reducing shear strength. Less shear
strength indicates soil structure is
improved. Agri-SC® improves soil tilth,
drainage, and aeration, and reduces soil
compaction, crusting, clodding, water
run-off and erosion. Agri-SC® is an
effective soil management tool. Both root
crops and pastures benefit from Agri-SC®
Soil Treatment. For over 37 years,
Agri-SC® has undergone research
by universities, USDA, independent
research organizations and farmers both
domestically and internationally.
Agri-SC® is an economically wise, agronomically sound, and environmentally
correct product for agriculture. The
product has proven itself as a profitable
input in a successful program for corn,
wheat, potatoes, sugar beets, and alfalfa.
Agri-SC® can be applied in the spring or
fall with virtually all fertilizer and herbicide
solutions using various types of spray
equipment. Agri-SC® is non-toxic and
biodegradable, and is marketed by

since 1992. Ag Leader offers a complete line of precision farming
technologies designed to help farmers plan, plant, apply and harvest
more accurately, efficiently and profitably.
PLAN
The Ag Leader® Integra and Versa™ displays work with any color of
equipment and allow you to map and record all of your field activities
from planting through harvest. Then, use Ag Leader’s SMS software,
to export the data as a yearly “report card” for evaluating past years’
performance and planning for the future.
PLANT
Your display also allows you to view planting data in-real time including
population, singulation and skips/doubles using Advanced Seed
Monitoring. And when paired with SeedCommand™, the AutoSwath™
technology controls planter clutches to automatically turn planter
sections on/off based on field maps to reduce overplanting and
increase yield potential.
APPLY
DirectCommand™ continuously controls, adjusts and records field
application based on target rates and allows for variable rate application
of single or multiple products. OptRx® crop sensing technology
measures the nitrogen needs of your crop and DirectCommand then
adjusts the nitrogen application rate on-the fly.
HARVEST
With Ag Leader’s yield monitoring technology, you can create and view
yield and moisture maps while harvesting and instantly observe how
field conditions affect yield. A harvest summary screen provides data
on the number of acres harvested, total and average bushels harvested
and more.

AG-VANTAGE, INC.
A
g-Vantage, Inc. is a family owned business that has been designing
and manufacturing products to help prevent runoff and conserve water
resources through innovative designs and applications since 2003.
Ag-Vantage, Inc. is the “Home of the Culti-Diker”, the first innovative
product for water conservation that utilizes existing farm implements.
The Culti-Diker creates small, precise water retaining pockets that are
large enough to catch moderate amounts of water, yet small enough
not to interfere with future field operations. The Culti-Diker can be
mounted onto grain drills, cultivators, planters, and various tool bars
to form water retaining pockets with every pass. The Culti-Diker
incorporates 3⁄4” triple seal bearings and high-wear T-1 steel paddles,
plus Super Oilite bushings at the hinge points. Furthermore, the same
unit can be switched from one piece of equipment to another, making
your capital investment more cost effective
In 2006, Ag-Vantage improved on the Culti-Diker and came out
with the next generation of water conservation tool, the Culti-Diker
MAX. The Culti-Diker MAX is an excellent choice for your final water
conservation needs in potatoes, sugar beets, corn and other row crops.
They form 6 to 12 inch deep water retaining pockets that can hold up
to 3 gallons of water. Plus the Culti-Diker MAX utilizes a free floating
design that incorporates dual down pressure springs with up to 350
pounds of down pressure. This design ensures constant ground contact
to guarantee consistent pocket depth verses paddle wheels on a common
shaft. The Culti-Diker MAX incorporates standard 1 1⁄4” triple seal
bearings and 3/8” T-1 paddles to provide years of service. The Culti-Diker
MAX can be mounted to your current 4 x 4 tool bar or can be mounted to
any of our custom tool bars. All of our tool bars incorporate a 7 x 7 main bar
and a through bar frame design to provide superior strength and rigidity.
We offer various models ranging from 4 to 24 rows with multiple folding
and shank options available.
In 2007, Ag-Vantage added a pivot track filler to their product line. The
Trac Filler is a simple but effective tool to eliminate pivot tracks before
harvest. The Trac Filler cuts down on maintenance by reducing fatigue on
field equipment and stress on pivots. The Trac Filler features heavy-duty
greaseable hubs with 22” discs and long wearing replaceable grader blades.
Plus it utilizes a center stabilizer that keeps the Trac Filler centered on the
pivot track and controls its cutting depth.
Besides our featured products, Ag-Vantage offers a complete line of custom
farm equipment including Custom Tool Bars, Mark Out Tool Bars, Roller
Harrows, and many other attachments. We can help design and build what
ever you need to suit your progressive farming needs. Please call us at 208670-1041 or visit our website at ag- vantage.com and we will be happy to
assist you with your equipment.

BAYER CROP SCIENCE
Researchers Find Luna Fungicide Eff ective in Combating
Early Blight Resistance Issues
P
otato researchers are beginning to identify resistance
issues to diseases such as early blight which threatens to
significantly impact crop yield. This rise in resistance is
becoming a broad issue as widely-used fungicides become
increasingly ineffective in controlling destructive potato
diseases.
The significance of this issue caught the attention of potato
researchers across the country. Researchers investigated
the molecular basis for this growing resistance issue and
identified five distinct mutations generating early blight
resistance. This research identified moderate and high levels
of early blight resistance to penthiopyrad and fluxapyroxad
chemistries.
While other chemistries have growing resistance challenges
to early blight mutations, studies indicated that fluopyram
in Bayer CropScience’s Luna® Tranquility was not affected
by any of these five mutations. In testing, Luna Tranquility
provided control of early blight isolates, offering a solution
to resistance management issues.
• Dr. Jeff Miller, Miller Research, has seen excellent
efficacy results for Luna chemistries in his research on
early blight and white mold for potatoes.
Along with its reliable performance in efficacy trials,
researchers are hopeful for the impact of Luna Tranquility on
the future of resistance issues. Luna Tranquility utilizes two
active ingredients, which reduces the chance of resistance
issues and provides an effective option for resistance
management.

or visit our Web site at www.BayerCropScience.us
Highlights of early blight resistance research include:
• Dr. Phillip Wharton, University of Idaho, tested
fluopyram and pyrimethanil, the active ingredients
found in Luna Tranquility, to find that both chemistries
provided control of early blight isolates.
• Dr. Neil Gudmestad, North Dakota State University,
collected early blight isolates from across the country to
determine that 80 percent of early blight instances have
resistance to fungicides containing boscalid chemistry.
Gudmestad also determined that fluopyram in Luna
Tranquility was not affected by the five mutations
generating early blight resistance

TIREBOSS™
TIRED OF PULLING TRUCKS?
LOOKING TO INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY?
TIREBOSS™ Tire Pressure Control Systems provide a solution that will get you moving!
Mobility of operations is often at the mercy of changing weather conditions e.g. too wet (black, heavy soils) and too dry
(soft sandy fields). TIREBOSS™ has a huge impact on harvest productivity by not having to pull trucks.
The TIREBOSS™ tire pressure control system allows the driver to safely change tire pressure while the vehicle is moving.
The larger footprint created by reduced pressure creates a significant traction benefit allowing the truck into areas where it
would normally not go or have to be pulled. Trucks with TIREBOSS™ systems have virtually eliminated the need for assist
vehicles in soft fields. This larger tire footprint also provides lower ground pressure resulting in less soil compaction.
The incredible traction with TIREBOSS™ allows the use of semis over straight trucks increasing payload per trip, efficiency,
and saves thousands of dollars otherwise spent on fuel, assist tractors and manpower. This switch to semis also sets you up
to have a vehicle that can be utilized for additional truck services outside of harvest.
TIREBOSS™ systems require minimal maintenance, and are proven durable with thousands operating around the globe.

for Simplot and McCain Foods in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, as well as McCain Foods in Carberry, Manitoba.
With our ever expanding services Ag World continues to offer our customers a full QA program verifying our inspections
are performed according to the customer’s contractual agreement.
When asked why would a processor or grower want to use Ag World’s service? We answer by saying; we are an unbiased
independent third party inspection service with high integrity. Our entire business is providing a high quality, cost
effective service by generating both accurate and timely inspection information. We are flexible and responsive to our
customers needs and do not have a large bureaucracy
that inhibits our service. Where processors conduct
their own inspections, outsourcing to our private
service reduces the processor’s exposure. In these
circumstances, our services help enhance the
process/grower relationship by removing the
potential for perceived biases from processor
generated inspection data.
Warren Henninger, Founder/Chairman, is very
proud of all Ag World’s employees and stated, “Ag
World’s success in representing the grower(seller)
and the processor (buyer) is dependent on our team’s
dedication to serving the needs of the customer with
integrity at its fullest and consistent high quality data.
Ag World is blessed with a team that works together
to achieve their fullest potential.”

PENATRON SOIL CONDITIONER
21 Years of Providing Progressive
Potato Growers with Yield and
Quality Increases and Improved Soils
F
or twenty one years, potato growers have seen the many benefits of
using Penatron Soil Conditioner. One of the many benefits was observed
this summer which was to decrease heat stress due to anti-stress factors
in Penatron. Penatron treated fields not only had outstanding yields, but
the quality was much superior to nontreated fields. This was very evident
in the Magic Valley of Idaho. In two fields growers were paid for over 610
cwt per acre of high quality potatoes. Average measured yield increase
has been 47 cwt per acre with an increase of 11.6% more number ones.
Penatron is manufactured by Maz-Zee S.A. International of San Diego,
CA. It consists of 30 interacting components that work together to
increase crop yield and quality. While many “soil conditioners” only
act as a wetting agent, Penatron components include enzymes and
catalysts to stimulate soil microbial metabolism. Natural desert plant
extract wetting agents reduce water surface tention to insure faster
water infiltration and easier water uptake by roots. Cytokinins (growth
hormones) stimulate and accelerate root growth for better water and
nutrient uptake. Colloidal minerals and micronutrients provide essential
plant nutrients. Several extracts of plant species provide vitamins and
hormones that reduce plant stress to hot, dry and cold, wet conditions.
Humic and fulvic acids activate soil microbes and improve soil physical
conditions. This helps reduce clods and dirt at harvest.
Penatron modifies soil conditions by allowing more oxygen into the root
zone which encourages aerobic microbes that improve soil structure.
This results in better root growth. Penatron helps reduce irrigation
water demand resulting in 10-15% less water use. It reduces run-off and
increases the water holding capacity for all soil types.
Penatron is beneficial to all crops including grain, sugarbeets, hay,
corn, and beans. It reduces crusting, speeds germination and stand
establishment resulting in a faster start for all crops to help maximize
yield. Penatron is low cost considering it only needs to be applied once
early in the season while many products must be applied several times.
It may be applied with starter fertilizers, markout, herbicides, irrigation
water, liquid fertilizers, plant protection, and foliar sprays.
The bottom line is that Penatron Soil Conditioner increases yield and
quality of all crops by reducing water and nutrient stresses, reducing
clods and dirt, conserving water, and increasing root growth from
improved soil structure.
Penatron is available from your fertilizer supplier or contact Adrian
L. Arp, PhD., Technical Representative at (208) 734-2255 or call our

TRINITY TRAILER MFG., INC.
Some Say Tough. Some Say Gentle. We Say Yes
Most of the leaders in the potato producing and shipping industry
have one thing in common; they trust Trinity Trailer Mfg. and
it’s specifically designed “Farm Bed Spud Trailer” to deliver their
produce with minimal amounts of skinning, bruising, or shattering.
Unnecessary bruising results in lower potato prices reduced
demand and increased storage losses.
The Eisenman family and associates at Trinity Trailer have been
building self unloading belt trailers since 1975 and understand
that the only acceptable spud trailer is one that gently handles your
product but is built tough enough to take the punishment of field
work and rough rural roads.
The Farm Bed Spud trailer can be built to best match your specific
loading and unloading conditions. Our unique “Spud door”
consists of a flip up bottom half and a fold down upper. This fold
down upper enables apiler to extend into the interior of the trailer
cutting down on drop height. The upper section is available in
plywood, sheet metal, or expanded metal.
Smooth, surge free, unloading is a critical aspect in avoiding
bruising. The Trinity continuous yet flexible chain and flap belt
provides a consistent unload and helps keep produce out of rear
unloading mechanisms. Narrow belts, 25” or 31”, are the most
commonly requested to achieve an even flow while unloading.
“Spud bumps” are suggested with wider belts and are effective
controlling unwanted surging.
In very sensitive conditions a raised floor, heavier and longer flaps,
and overlap liners are installed. These options serve to level the
floor reducing cupping between the cross bars, cushioning the
load, and eliminating carry back.
In cold weather conditions potatoes are protected by Trinity’s
“extreme weather insulation package”. This protection consists
of double layers of bubble foil pack under the side liners, single
layer of foil pack under the floor liner and foam insulation inside
from the top of the liner to the top rail. A very successful hauler
in Canada uses this package as well as an insulated blanket
over the tarp bows and routinely hauls in minus 10-15 degree
temperatures.
While it may sound like all our engineering goes into assuring
we have the gentlest handling trailer we know there is another
side to hauling potatoes. Trinity also protects your investment
by building the toughest, longest lasting trailer.
Our unique lightweight steel (carbon or stainless) frameless
design provides the strength and flexibility required to go off road
and withstand the most pitted potato fields without cracking or
breaking. Repairing spud trailers or suffering downtime is the
last thing you can afford. Our customers know that when they
send out a Trinity trailer it will not only gently unload their spuds
but it will return for another load. Trinity trailers are the most
dependable trouble free spuds trailers available. Trinity trailers
are the easiest trailers to wash because our unique design allows
you access to all areas and does not give dirt or road sludge a
place to hide. Trinity trailers require very little maintenance and
when a repair is required it’s quick and inexpensive.
Spud farmers and shippers not only want a time proven
dependable trailer that will unload the least damaged product
with the lowest maintenance and highest availability, they want
top resale value.
43
Our customers are demanding but again Trinity Trailer Mfg.
delivers. Whether it’s a five year old, seven year old, or a ten year
old plus, Trinity consistently brings owners more resale dollars. But
look beyond the high resale price. Ask another trailer manufacturer
to show you one of their seven to ten year old trailers. Not many
other trailers besides Trinity will have been able to withstand the
rugged conditions of the potato industry and actually still be on the
road let alone be a factor in the resale market.
You are a serious businessman who knows what it takes to be
profitable hauling spuds. Trinity Trailer is a serious manufacturer
that offers you a spud trailer that has:
The lowest incidence of bruising, skinning, and shattering.
The lowest maintenance costs and highest availability.
The longest life and highest resale value.
Why would you trust your business with any other trailer?

BIOSAFE SYSTEMS
Keep Potatoes Pathogen Free from Field to Storage
By: Mark Milenski, National Potato Manager, BioSafe Systems
Since 1996, BioSafe Systems has been a partner in the potato
industry researching and innovating new technologies to help growers
mitigate storage loss. With the introduction of StorOx 2.0 Bactericide/
Fungicide, BioSafe Systems was the first company to introduce the
power and versatility of activated peroxygen chemistry (APC) to the
potato industry. The first company to utilize this powerful technology
in storage treatment, BioSafe has diligently worked over the years
to research the most effective treatment program while custom
engineering a variety of application technologies to help treat storages,
and the potatoes they hold, economically and efficiently. Through our
extensive experience working with APC technology in pre‐ and post‐
harvest applications, BioSafe Systems has established the a three‐step
field‐to‐storage treatment program.
The first step in BioSafe’s field‐to‐storage program encompasses a
strategic change in our potato treatment plan, incorporating in‐field
application of our chemistries prior to harvest. Utilizing a powerful
and effective formulation of APC technology, OxiDate 2.0 Foliar
Bactericide/Fungicide provides a unique “knock‐down” control of
bacterial and fungal pathogens. OxiDate’s unique mode‐of‐action,
oxidation, enables it to provide an immediate destruction of the bacterial

®
or fungal pathogens cellular structure; in essence a sterilization
of the foliar surface. OxiDate 2.0 is engineered to be tank mixed
with residual partner chemistries, working synergistically with
conventional chemistries to provide complete 360° protection.
The next step in BioSafe’s program is proper sanitation of the
storage environment. This important step is not emphasized
enough and is frequently overlooked. Without proper cleaning
and disinfection, potatoes inside storages will inherently
succumb to storage rot. BioSafe’s powerful disinfection
chemistry, SaniDate 5.0 Liquid Sanitizer, can be used in
combination with our portfolio of GreenClean Cleaners to
provide a clean, pathogen‐free storage environment.
The final step in the field‐to‐storage program is the most critical
treatment step, incorporating a spray on the bin‐piler as spuds
go into storage, followed by periodic fogging applications
through the storage season as needed. In 2014, after many years
of research and trialing, BioSafe Systems introduced OxiPhos
Systemic Bactericide/Fungicide. A highly engineered blend
of stabilized peroxygen and phosphorous acid, OxiPhos takes
a proven chemistry like phosphorous acid and supercharges it
with peroxygen to provide a dual mode of action by inducing
systemic‐acquired resistance and a contact kill of bacterial
pathogens. OxiPhos can be applied through an existing bin‐piler
applicator or through BioSafe’s Bin‐Piler Applicator unit that
provides precise dosing of OxiPhos.
Once spuds are treated and in storage, BioSafe Systems moves
into our bread‐and‐ butter treatment with the fogging of StorOx
2.0 into the storage environment. Traditionally, this application
has been done using our BioFogger II fogging unit, which applies
a concentrated “dry‐fog” through the plenum and carried up
through the pile with existing ventilation. BioSafe Systems has
also begun trialing StorOx 2.0 using thermal fogging technology
and has added recently added this application to the StorOx
2.0 label. However, because there is no prior research proving
the efficacy of this application method, we are doing our due
diligence through trialing before adding this method to our
treatment program.
BioSafe Systems is dedicated to helping potato growers and the
industry as a whole to continually strive to better our practices
in storage and provide new and innovative tools to help better
manage storage challenges. BioSafe will be introducing a number
of new products in 2015, including our much‐anticipated sprout
inhibitor called Arret. BioSafe Systems has partnered with
expert Storage Treatment Partners throughout the country to
provide custom application programs and service. Please contact
us at (888)273‐3088 or stop by to see us at the Idaho Potato
Conference to learn more about our Field‐to‐Storage Program.

HEALTH CARE, POTATO STORAGE
AND THE AMERICAN WAY
American history has a long list of topics
that have carried negative public opinion but
few more divisive than the topic of health care
reform of the past couple of years. Millions
of dollars has been spent to simply sell or
decry its necessity. Reflecting on history the
one thing I am certain of is that out of this
difficult political turmoil will come some new
product that will meet the needs that exist.
That is the American way. That American
way is what has brought us so many great
things that we now take for granted. When
told we can’t or it is impossible the American
way has been to dig deep and develop a new
and better way. It has not been without cost
or pain but it has been incredibly effective.
There is no greater example of the American
way than American agriculture. It is almost
a certainty that the American farmer will
face multiple seeming impossibilities during
his career. Much more often than not the
result is a new approach, a new product or
a partnership and collaboration that results
in growth and increased potential. Prices on
some commodities is at or near the same as it
was 40 years ago while cost of production has
risen 10 fold. In many places that has resulted
in diminished production and or failure of
private farming operations but the American
farmer has found new, more efficient means of
production along with better genetics while
developing markets to meet and exceed the
requirement to be successful. Potato storage
is one of the developments that has arisen out
of necessity. Early settlers stored potatoes in
caves and did it quite successfully in order
to prolong their food source. Potato storage
slowly evolved over the years but in ground
storage was still prevalent into the 1960’s.
With commodity prices stagnant innovative
growers found they could obtain a premium
for storing a high quality potato long term.
Out of that has come highly specialized
storage management technology. One such
tool is the Hansen‐Rice, Inc. Thermodynamic Air Envelope potato storage. Born out
of necessity and fine tuned with innovative growers looking to build a better way it has
become the benchmark for the process potato industry. Today a large majority of the chip
stock potatoes that come out of storage come from a Hansen‐Rice, Inc. potato storage.
Growers and processors across the nation have embraced this patented technology.T h e
higher demand for consistent quality has driven the demand for the air envelope storage.
Determined, persistent, and innovative agri‐ businessmen will continue to be the spark
that lights the fire of change that is a critical ingredient in the long term stability and
viability of the American way. If you are in need of a quality long term storage stop by and
see one of the Hansen‐Rice, Inc. team members.

“I
D & S TIRES INC.
n 1995 I had a farmer ask me to rebuild the tracks from his Cat tractor, something I’d never done before,” says Dexter Critel, owner of D & S Tires in
West Point, Neb. “I spent a lot of time cutting those lugs and guide blocks off with hand tools, then built new ones to replace them. The farmer ran the
tracks for three years and they worked perfect, so I decided to do the same work for other people.”
Critel started repairing tracks at West Point in 2000, and perfected his process well enough to open a second location six years later in Richmond, Ind.
In 2012 he opened a third location in Parma, Idaho to serve customers in the west and northwest. “When I started there was no history or no precedent
for rebuilding tracks, everything was hand work,” Critel says. “It was tough to figure out how to remove the old lugs and guide blocks, and equally tough
to re-build the new lugs and blocks into a uniform size and shape.”
As Critel and his crew learned more, they built their own specialized equipment to mechanically buff the tread off the outside of a track and then remove
the guide blocks on the inside. “We remove the worn pieces with mechanical buffers,” Critel says, “and that saves a tremendous amount of hand labor.
After we solved that problem, we made an extruder and dies to make new lugs and guide blocks the exact size and shape of those on new tracks. We pound
those onto the track by hand, then seal them
in place with an autoclave. When the process
is complete, the tracks are like new.”
D&S Tires Inc.
26884 Pearl Rd • Parma, Idaho 83660
New Track Shop that brings BIG Savings to the Western U.S.!
Critel says that rebuilding tracks costs about
a third the amount that a farmer would spend
on new tracks for a tractor, combine or grain
cart. “We can rebuild them with a standard
lug that’s 2 1/2” tall, a low disturbance lug
that’s 1 1/2 in. tall and add extra lugs. We can
also replace the guide blocks and can rebuild
rubber on roller wheels, driver wheels and
idler wheels. Most of our jobs are around
$5,000, compared to $15,000 to $17,000 that
a guy would spend on a new set of tracks,”
Critel says. “We’re saving people a ton of
money, and we’re also making better use
of resources because we’re re-using the old
belts. I’ve had one guy put two sets of lugs on
one set of belts, so he’s already gotten three
lifetimes out of his original investment.”
Critel’s replacement lug work is done on
tracks for Deere, Cat and Case IH tractors,
on combines and grain carts. “We can work
on any size tracks,” Critel says.
These days Critel’s business is a true family
operation and his customers are from all over
the USA and Canada. His Richmond office
is managed by his daughter Tammy and his
daughter Kim and her husband Bill manage
the Parma location. The West Point location
is managed by his son-in-law, Marlan and his
youngest daughter Brenda. All three offices
maintain an inventory to fit most tractors,
so exchange and turnaround time is usually
very quick

YaraLiva® • QUALITY COUNTS
Crop quality and profit go hand in hand, and this is especially true for potato farming. Maximizing yield and quality are essential, and
successful potato growers realize that managing their crop to achieve the best possible yields and quality requires balancing many variables.
Soil preparation and site evaluation, variety selection, seedpiece quality, water, temperature, pest control, storage and fertilizers are just a few
of the factors that must be managed to bring in the best crop at the end of the season. Of all of these factors, optimum fertilizer management
is one of the main factors responsible for a profitable crop, and it is something over which farmers have the most control.
Yara understands potato fertilizer. Yara fertilizers such as granular YaraLiva® Tropicote® (15.5‐0‐0‐19 Ca) and liquid YaraLiva® CN‐9®
(9‐0‐0‐11 Ca) calcium nitrate products are perfectly formulated to help potato farmers achieve their goals. These products have been used
on potatoes for years around the globe with great results. YaraLiva products contain fast acting nitrate nitrogen – the preferred N source for
potatoes. Nitrate is rapidly taken into the plant and is quickly utilized. In addition, nitrate N has a negative charge so it doesn’t interfere with
the uptake of other cations such as K, Mg, Zn, etc., the
way ammoniacal nitrogen can.
Calcium must be water soluble in order to be taken
up and used by potatoes. The calcium in YaraLiva
products is 100% soluble and ready for use. Commonly
used calcium products, such as gypsum and ag lime,
while excellent soil amendments, do not supply
soluble calcium necessary for plant growth. Calcium is
necessary for cell division which is extremely important
early in tuber production. It is also necessary for strong
cell wall integrity, which is important during bulking
and storage. Calcium also plays a significant role in
maintaining the water relationship in the plant which
can help to alleviate drought and heat stress. Increasing
tuber calcium reduces bruising at harvest and, after
the crop is harvested, potato tubers with higher levels
of calcium store for longer periods with less loss from
storage rot.
Since calcium does not translocate from leaves to
tubers, side‐dressing with Tropicote or fertigating with
CN‐9 at tuber initiation and again just prior to bulking
places the calcium and nitrate N in the correct zone for
plant uptake. Potatoes can absorb the soluble calcium
directly into the tuber via tiny roots on the stolons and
the tubers. This calcium is then used for tuber growth.
YaraLiva calcium nitrate is time honored, university
tested and grower trusted. When used as part of a
balanced nutrition program, YaraLiva products can
help growers achieve the yield and quality that fresh
market consumers and processors demand. For more
information on YaraLiva, visit us at www.yara.us, or call
at 1‐800‐234‐9376.
Healthier, longer.
YaraLiva CN-9 supports plant
health, tuber yield, size and quality
®
®
CN-9 Solution supplies nitrate nitrogen to
help the plant develop a strong canopy and
increase the uptake of calcium, potassium and
magnesium. Calcium is a key element in plant
cell structure, membrane function, and is critical
during cell division. The result is higher yielding
quality tubers with less culls.

CHEVROLET
F
Built Stronger To Lighten Your Workload
rom towing farm equipment to hauling paving stones, if you have heavy‐
duty demands, you need heavy‐duty strength. With new exterior and interior
designs, the 2015 Silverado HDs offers the comfort and luxury upgrades you
want in a daily driver without compromising industry leading power and
performance.
Proven Performance: There are more than 1 million Duramax Diesels
with Allison Transmissions on the road today with more than 100 billion
miles. Chevy’s standard gasoline‐powered Vortec 6.0L V8 comes with a
torque curve that is broad and flat, with approximately 90 percent of peak
torque available at only 2000 rpm. Either way, the 2015 Silverado 2500HD is
the only truck for the most demanding jobs.
Got something serious to tow? The 3500 boasts a 7,374‐lb. payload rating;
19,600‐lb. bumper tow capacity, and a 23,200‐lb. fifth wheel/gooseneck
trailer rating. The 2015 Silverado 2500HD offers the most standard trailering
capacity in its class at 13,000 lbs thanks in part to smart technologies.
Engineered to tow heavy loads in extreme conditions, the new HD offers
a host of new trailering technologies. The Hill Start Assist gives extra time
to switch between the brake and accelerator pedals when on an incline by
momentarily braking. Trailer Sway Control keeps your truck and trailer
heading the same direction. Once the sensors detect
a swaying trailer the system brings everything back
in line by applying the trailer and truck brakes.
Work is made easier with a load of available features like Diesel Exhaust Brake
System, Rear Vision Camera (with dynamic grid lines which makes hitching
that trailer solo a breeze), and Integrated Trailer Brake Controller.
Even the bed has been re‐designed. The rear bumper has a corner step built
in, the rear stake pocket has a handle built in, and an EZ Lift and Lower
tailgate softly drops the tailgate. The bed is outfitted with high and low cargo
rings and built‐in LED lights under the rail, and can even come from the
factory spray‐lined.
Comforts of a daily driver The 2015 Silverado HD has a new interior
designed to bring you more comfort with higher quality materials, less
noise and a seamless connection to your digital world. First climb inside
and the most noticeable difference is the roomy cabin. High‐strength steel
throughout enables bigger rear doors and more rear legroom. The extended
cab is replaced with a new Double Cab, and the back doors are longer and
hinged from the front for better access. The Silverado is now the king of
quiet—doors roll under the roof into the body and are inlaid with triple seals.
Your Truck, your way Whether you need accessories to make your job
easier, your ride more comfortable or to protect your truck Chevrolet
accessories have you covered. Until now the Turnover Gooseneck Ball Hitch
market was dominated by B & W, but GM has released an option designed
for your new Chevrolet’s factory specs. Business Choice customers can even
take advantage of extra incentives to help customize your vehicle your way.
