Failed California ‘Right to Know’ Campaign Says It Will Be Back In 2014

The California ‘Right to Know’ campaign, which was unsuccessful in its ballot initiative (Prob. 37) for labelling genetically engineered foods in November 2012, says that they will be back in 2014.

The campaign sent out an email to its supporters saying that they believe that their initiative failed because their opponents were able to raise more funds against their campaign, by a margin of 6-to-1.

In addition to outlining their intentions to come back in 2014, the steering committee also said that it will be heavily involved in Washington State’s new GMO proposal, along as having a watchful eye in other state legislative proposals.

Other state legislatures which have similar bills as the failed California initiative include New Mexico and Missouri. It’s also expected that Vermont and Connecticut will have similar bills introduced in the near future.

The California (Prob. 37) vote failed, but managed to secure 48.6% of the vote

Video: Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders

This patented section control system uses air to divert material on to different areas of the spinner disks for precise 4-section control, for an economical design by eliminating the need for added conveyor belts or movable spreader components. The section control uses the Raven RCM ISOBUS controller and a customer’s field boundary and coverage map to automatically turn off any of the four sections at any time to avoid applying valuable fertilizer in areas where it’s not needed.

This results in fertilizer savings which means more money in your pocket for a maximum Return On Investment. The powerful blower fan sends air through a 4-section manifold while the conveyor automatically speeds up or slows down as sections are turned on or off for consistent and precise fertilizer application.

• The revolutionary patented Air Command section control utilizes a pneumatic system to accurately place fertilizer onto the spinner disks to give you individualized 4-section control of your spread pattern.

• Pinpoint accuracy of four individual sections allows you to operate the system with ease. This robust design with few moving parts offers no gimmicks, just real-world results.

• The new Air Command section control option is available on pull-type models 2250 and 1850 with the new PTO drive system, and on 1450, 1250 and 1050 pull-type models with standard single hydraulics.

• Continue to do it all with the Unverferth pull-type Pro-Force Spreader. Use the Air Command section control for spreading fertilizer and in-seeding applications, while converting to single-section lime or litter application in a matter of minute
