The Cornrower and stover harvest evaluation efforts with POET in Emmetsburg, IA and New Holland continue this season. Last year’s results showed that ash (dirt) content in stover harvested from windrows made by the Cornrower were as clean or cleaner than stover from windrows formed solely from combine discharge. Stover yield and control of the amount of stover offered with Cornrower technology is not available from any other harvest system. New Holland and POET are both advocates of bio-energy, particularly with ethanol, through Growth Energy efforts. No other farm equipment manufacturer is actively promoting farmer’s products in the bio-energy area in the manner that New Holland is doing.

Another Successful Field Day!
On Aug. 7 the NH Field Day held at the North Manchester Poet plant was a huge success. Over 300 guests attended to see a broad range of New Holland equipment, hear presentations on the importance of renewable fuels, take a plant tour and hear about legislative efforts to protect the Renewable Fuels Standard. New Holland is the only farm equipment company to support the efforts of Growth Energy and is the only Platinum Level sponsor. Other sponsors include a variety of seed, fertilizer and chemical suppliers and end-users ranging from Dupont and Monsanto to NASCAR.
The Indiana New Holland dealerships and support the efforts to advocate use of American-produced fuels such as ethanol. We’re appreciative of the Poet company for their efforts and in particular, the opportunity to work with the North Manchester Poet staff headed by manager Steve Pittman. Come in to our New Holland stores to learn about our Producer’s Club. New Holland is making a contribution to the Growth Energy effort for every New Holland sale to a member of the club. Farmers who buy DDG’s or sell corn to a plant that is a Growth Energy member get additional discounts and also trigger this monetary contribution. Now that supply of corn is pressuring prices it is apparent that those companies such as New Holland that worked to protect the biofuels market had the foresight to advocate farmer’s interests when many said that the drought justified pulling the biofuels products off the market. We’re proud to be a part of the New Holland efforts and appreciate the opportunity to partner with our customers.
