Krone launches second twin engined self-propelled forager. Farmers Weekly Interactive, UK, December 18, 2006. "The Krone twin-engine approach for flexible forage harvesting has been applied to a new self-propelled machine from the German firm. The German market for self-propelled harvesters has been booming, with total sales of all makes at over 500 during 2006. One of the main reasons for this boom is a massive increase in on-farm biogas production from wholecrop fermenting. More than half the 5000 biogas fermenters on German farms are now fuelled partly or completely with grass, wholecrop cereals or maize, according to the country’s Ministry of Agriculture." http://www.fwi.co.uk/Articles/2006/01/04/100327/krone-launches-second-twin-engined-self-propelled-forager.html -- ********************************************************************** Dr. Ann C.
