You can check on the presence of weeds while you are getting your soil samples. Some weeds can still be controlled when the weed plants continue growing in late winter or early spring. Soil moisture also needs to be good at time of spraying so weeds will be actively growing. Clem Ward, Agric. Insurance and delivery are to be arranged between the company and the high bidder.
Payments are due at the completion of the auction.
In the past high bidders got some real bargains , so bring your checkbook and bid for machinery you would like to use this spring or summer. Proceeds from the Machinery Auction go to the Alfalfa Research Fund , used to assist applied research and extension activities for alfalfa. As the fund was originally set up, the Association only uses interest earned from the endowed money, never touching the principal, deposited in the OSU Foundation or Certificate of Deposit. Commercial Members and Sponsoring Corporate Members are welcome to set up small table-size displays to promote products before the meeting and during breaks. There will be plenty of time to discuss your products and support the Association.
