Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The purpose of this report is to provide information on equipment, operating practices, costs, and other factors. Such material will enable farmer cooperatives and others to provide for their farmer patrons an effective and efficient bulk fertilizer and lime delivery and spreading service. In addition, it endeavors to point out effects and benefits, if any, of such a service in (1) lowering production costs, (2) reducing labor requirements of the farmer, (3) helping improve farm fertilization practices, and (4) facilitating more efficient fertilizer manufacturing plant operations. This report deals with the bulk distribution program of the Cooperative G.L.F. Exchange, Inc., Ithaca, N.Y. This organization, hereafter referred to as G.L.F., has distributed lime in bulk and spread it for patrons for some 20 years. It has been one of the pioneers in this field. Success with lime led to development of a bulk distribution program for fertilizer. Of special interest is the way in which lime spreading equipment has been adapted to the more exacting requirements of fertilizer spreading. Because of G.L.F. 's experience and its detailed and uniform operating records, a report on its bulk handling and spreading program should be of benefit to cooperatives and others throughout the United States interested in a bulk distribution service.
