www.SugarProducer.com 29 www.brillionfarmeq.com The Heavy-Weight in Pulvi-Mulchers Gets BIGGER. The 3600 Series Pulvi-Mulcher from Brillion features wider working widths, increased trash clearance and reduced downtime in the field. The series is available in 21', 25', 30' and 36'6" working widths. The 30' model weighs 80% more than the popular WL360 for more clod crushing power. The 36'6" unit is the widest Pulvi-Mulcher ever offered by Brillion. All 3600 Series models feature 8" roller axles with heavy-duty bearings that improve reliability and reduce maintenance interruptions in the field. The design includes three rows of two-piece edge bent s-tines on overall 6" spacing. 25" of under frame clearance improves trash flow through the machine. A leveling device in front of the rear roller helps level ridges left by the shanks. A choice of 20" Notched, 20" Crowfoot or 20" Optimizer ® Ductile Iron Pulverizer wheels allows each 3600 Pulvi-Mulcher to be customized to varying soil conditions. And new to this series is the 24" Notched Ductile Iron wheel to provide even more clod crushing power with its heavy weight.

The Senate took steps to pass a modest relief package that failed to gain the necessary support. There is agreement between parties and chambers on many COVID provisions; the disagreements hang in large part on the price tag. Every member of Congress we talk to expects, despite modest progress here and there, that a final agreement will come after the election. We expect a relief package to be at the top of the congressional to-do list. Thankfully for agriculture, COVID relief provisions enjoy bipartisan support. While differences exist between chambers, the positions are bridgeable. In December, Congress will also need to fund the government. Election results will drive spending priorities, so there is a fair amount of uncertainty on the exact outcome. Anything is possible, but we expect spending levels to look a lot like they did this past year. This includes funding for beet research, lending authority for sugar loans, and other important discretionary agriculture spending. In 2021, new agendas will emerge from the legislative and executive branches regardless of who is in power. As our nation seeks to address problems like COVID, infrastructure, rural broadband and a host of other important issues, balance of legislative priorities with fiscal restraint is necessary. The pandemic has significantly impacted government revenues and spending. Massive federal spending has skyrocketed the national debt. Tough choices and smart policies are required. We will conduct virtual fly- ins in February and March to brief congressional staff and members on industry developments from 2020. Legislators will take a fresh look at several issues. We predict that the security and resiliency of supply chains for essential goods will be a key topic. Thankfully, our industry's reliability is second to none. Our ASGA annual meeting will be held virtually in 2021. Mark your calendars for Feb. 2-3, 2021. Pam Alther, our director of administration, has been working hard to create a fantastic virtual platform. We hope beet growers who typically do not attend our annual meeting will join us. This will give each of you a chance to see what lies ahead for 2021 in terms of markets, policies and issues that impact your farming operations. Please visit www.americansugarbeet.org for our program. Like other organizations, we expect grower participation to be significantly larger than our in-person meeting. Of course, we are thankful for the generosity of our sponsors to help make our meeting a success. Enjoy the upcoming holiday season. We look forward to another year full of accomplishments for our industry! n The challenges we face year in and year out are met with incredible people who collaboratively carry out their responsibilities with passion.
