Red flag field markers

Red flag field markers CROPS Miscellaneous 13-1-9 Indiana farmers William Addison and Sons, of Greenfield, mark rocks, holes, weed patches and other problem spots "on the go" with special-make red flags that they toss out from the driver's seat of tractors and combines. The "Mark It Now" fluorescent red flags are mounted on a 4 in. wood base painted white, with a flat metal weight underneath. A 16 in. stem extends from the base to the 3 by 5 in. flag. "To mark a rock, for example, you simply open the cab door and toss out a flag. Its center of gravity makes it land upright," explains Dave Addison. "Not having to stop is a big plus. If you stop a big 4 WD tractor with tillage equiment in the ground, you'd better remember to lift the tool before you start up again or you may ruin the clutch. With these flags, there's no need to stop or even slow down." Interest from other farmers prompted the Addisons to make their "Mark It Now" flag markers available commercially. They retail for $1.25 each. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, William Addison and Sons, 462 South 850 East, Greenfield, Ind. 46140 (ph 317 936-5757)
