                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 (Unaudited)


Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
- ------------------------------------------------------------


The Company's consolidated financial statements includes accounts 
of the parent and its subsidiaries and reflects all adjustments
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. 
Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the operating results
of the Company's quarterly financial information should not be
taken as indicative of the results of its operations for a full
year.  The financial statements presented for the nine month period
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1994
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 1995. 


Statement of Cash Flows
- -----------------------

During the first quarter of 1995 certain debenture holders
converted $188,000 of ten percent senior subordinated debentures to
common stock.  Net debenture issue costs of $3,269 were recorded
against additional paid-in capital.

As these transactions did not provide or use cash resources, they
have been excluded from the accompanying consolidated statement of
cash flows for the period ended September 30, 1995.


Reclassifications
- -----------------

Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial
statements for the periods presented from amounts previously
reported to conform with classifications currently adopted.  Such
reclassifications had no effect on previously reported
shareholders' equity or results of operations.

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------------------------------

     Reference is made to Item 7 of "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994, on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The following discussion and analysis pertains to the
Company's results of operations for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1995, compared to the results of operations for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1994, and to results of
operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995
compared to the results of operations for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1994, and to changes in the Company's financial
condition from December 31, 1994 to September 30, 1995.

Consolidated net sales for the three-month period ended September
30, 1995 were $5,938,178 down 16.94% from $7,149,271 for the same
period in 1994.  Net sales for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1995 were $17,034,556 up .90% from $16,882,778 for
the same period in 1994.  The decrease in sales primarily resulted from
adverse global weather conditions in geographical areas where the Company
markets its products.  U.S. sales were lower due to an early winter freeze 
which limited bagging of corn silage in the midwest.  U.K. sales were
reduced due to the hot summer which eliminated second cuttings of
some crops.  In addition, late spring cold, wet weather in the
southern hemisphere caused a delay in the growing season and
lessened the need for early shipment of equipment during the
quarter.  Additionally, milk and beef prices continued their
downward trend which caused U.S. farmers to be very cautious on
capital expenditures for new equipment.  The slight increase in
sales for the year was the result of the above factors, coupled
with a large machine and bag order to the European market and the
sale of a mid-sized composting system earlier in the year.  For the
first nine-months of 1995, sales in the Company's United Kingdom
operation increased 4.80% despite unfavorable weather due to a
change in the Company's marketing strategy.

Gross profit from sales for the three-month period ended September
30, 1995 was $1,645,288 a decrease of 21.58% from $2,098,013 for
the same period in 1994.  Gross profit from sales for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 1995 was $4,916,839 a decrease of
2.17% from $5,025,932 from the same period in 1994.  The decrease
in gross profit for the quarter and nine-months was the result of
reduced sales volumes with decreased gross margins coupled with
increases in production labor, transportation and material costs.













                                     9

Selling expenses for the three-month period ended September 30,
1995 were $632,857 an increase of 2.64% from $616,566 for the same
period in 1994.  Selling expenses for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1995 were $1,838,548 an increase of 11.35% from
$1,651,212 for the same period in 1994.  The increase in selling
expenses for the quarter and nine-month period was the result of
increased sales and marketing activities in the Company's
international market as well as its grain and compost divisions.

Administrative expenses for the three-month period ended September
30, 1995 were $597,739 a decrease of less than 1% from $600,150 for
the same period in 1994.  Administrative expenses for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 1995 were $1,731,699 an increase
of 2.17% from $1,694,903 for the same period in 1994.  The increase
for the nine-month period was the result of higher professional
fees incurred earlier in the year coupled with higher general
operating overheads to support the international expansion, grain
and compost divisions.

Interest expense for the three-month period ended September 30,
1995 was $135,025 a decrease of 7.70% from $146,294 for the same
period in 1994.  Interest expense for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1995 was $312,777 a decrease of 17.91% from $381,003
for the same period in 1994.  The decrease for the quarter and
nine-month period was the result of the conversion of the
debentures into common stock.  Additionally, the Company completed
early repayment on a 15% interest bearing note in early 1995.

Net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 1995
decreased to $235,994 from $473,971 for the same period in 1994. 
Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995
decreased to $729,227 from $874,336 for the same period in 1994. 
The decrease for the quarter and nine-month period was the result
of adverse weather conditions which eliminated the harvest of some
crops in addition to the reluctance of U.S. farmers to purchase
capital items in light of depressed milk and beef prices, coupled
with decreased volume and margins and increased selling and
administrative costs to handle the Company's expansion in the
international market, grain and compost markets which were offset
by lower interest costs.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The seasonal nature of the northern hemisphere farming
industry, the production time for equipment and the time required
to prepare bags for use requires the Company to manufacture and
carry high inventories to meet rapid delivery requirements.  In
particular, the Company must maintain a significant level of bags
during the spring and early summer to meet the sales demands during











                                  10       

<Page 11>

the harvest season.  The Company uses working capital and trade
credit to increase its inventory so that it has sufficient
inventory available to meet its sales demands through the spring
and summer months.

     The Company relies on its suppliers to provide trade credit to
enable the Company to build its inventory.  The Company's suppliers
have provided sufficient trade credit to meet the demand to date
and management believes this will continue.  No assurance can be
given that suppliers will continue to provide sufficient trade
credit in the future.

Accounts receivable increased 7.17% as of September 30, 1995 to
$5,122,639 from the September 30, 1995 level of $4,780,025.  The
increase was the result of a large portion of the Company's sales
occurring during the last month of the quarter coupled with the
fact the Company offered extended terms to key dealers.

Inventory at September 30, 1995 was $8,370,271 which was 37.29%
higher than inventory at September 30, 1994 of $6,096,809.  The
increase in inventory was the result of reduced sales for the
quarter and management's earlier decision to carry higher inventory
levels to meed rapid delivery requirements and avoid backlog during
harvest.

The Company has a domestic operating line of credit with a limit of
$4,000,000, secured by accounts receivable and inventory.  In
addition, the Company has a $200,000 equipment acquisition line. 
As of September 30, 1995, $3,220,709 had been taken under the
credit line and no borrowings had been taken under the equipment
acquisition line.  The Company also has a revolving credit facility
denominated in pounds sterling for its UK operation with a limit of
400,000 pounds sterling.  As of September 30, 1995 borrowings under
the foreign operation line aggregated $416,032 US dollars out of an
available $633,200 US dollars.  Management believes that, along
with funds generated from operations and its credit facilities, it
will be able to meet the Company's cash requirements through 1995.
