A process for the preparation of bacon having improved taste and aesthetic appearance which is suitable for heating in a microwave comprising the steps of:

Process for preparing a bacon product

An applicator is mounted to a transverse boom carried by a tractor and moved through a field at such a height as to directly contact target vegetation above a selected level, and avoid application of treating liquid to any shorter, desirable vegetation. The applicator includes an outlet manifold, a plurality of receivers connected to an inlet manifold, a respective plurality of generally vertically oriented, transversally spaced non-porous applicator rods each extending between the outlet manifold and a respective receiver, an elevated reservoir for treating liquid, and a pump for recirculating back to the reservoir excess treating liquid which has flowed down outsides of the rods and into the receivers without having been brushed-off onto vegetation contacted by the rods. The outlet manifold and receivers are provided with filters, and each receiver is provided with a trash shield, all for preventing clogging and for facilitating clean-out of the treating liquid flow path. Each applicator rod at its upper end is grooved in a way that facilitates spreading of the treating liquid on the rod while minimizing spillage.

An applicator unit is moved through a field of growing vegetation, for instance as an implement mounted across the front of a farm tractor. The unit includes a horizontal, laterally extending outlet manifold ranked above a similarly arranged inlet manifold. Between each manifold a plurality of forwardly convex knee-like rod members are mounted. In use, a treatment liquid to be directly applied to vegetation is arranged to run out of the outlet manifold in a superficial sheet along the surface of each rod. As vegetation is grazed by the rods, some of the treatment liquid is wiped onto the vegetation. Any treatment liquid which is not thus wiped onto vegetation is collected from the lower ends of the rods into the inlet manifold and pumped back up to a reservoir from which it flows to the outlet manifold. By preference each knee-like rod is disposed at an incline as seen in front elevation in order to decrease the chance that a tall thin plant can pass untreated between two adjacent rods. A valving system is provided to prevent air entry on inlet side of the pump.

An apron chain lubricating apparatus for roll baling machines is actuated to automatically lubricate the apron chains in response to the rear frame of the machine being raised and lowered such as in discharging a bale from the machine. The apron lubricating apparatus includes a reservoir, containing lubricant, and a pump both preferably mounted on the rear frame of the machine. The pump is operated to deliver lubricant from the reservoir onto the apron chains when the rear frame is raised and lowered.

Apparatus and method for lubricating apron chains on roll baling machines

In a crop roll forming machine of the type having a bale forming region defined by bale forming means movably mounted on a mobile frame and wrapping means to bind a formed roll of crop material with a binding material there is provided a plurality of independently operable severing means that, in synchronization, will be activated by triggering means to concurrently sever the binding material. The severing means are comprised of a plurality of cutting blades and striker plates which cooperatively interface at the conclusion of a bale wrapping cycle to sever the binding material.
