Fertilizer companies will begin switching over to the metric system this summer and fertilizer application recommendations will be given in metric, Ed Brulbaker of the University of Guelph told members of the Huron Federation of Agriculture Thursday night. Three of the major farm machinery companies - Massey Ferguson, John Deere and International - are designing almost entirely in metric now, Mr. Brulbaker said. "It is an emotional thing. None of us like to change, put in many ways we are going from a complex . system , to a simple payment is made. The report was prepared by the Financial Protection Task Force, established by Mr. Newman in 1976 to make a systematic review of the effects of such bank- ruptcies. The 'task .force recommends .that all those who buy from agricultural producers be licensed and that prompt payment system'', he. said. Mr. Brulbaker said the easiest way to learn the metric system was to start to use it without referring back to the old system.

Brown questioned the advantage of 'switching temperature scales when the variation of one degree Celsius was less accurate and could. be critical in a pig operation. "The best thing would be to get a thermometer measured in half degrees:: Mr. Brulbaker told her. Farm deeds which are presently based on the English measurement system would not have to be resurveyed, Mr. Brulbaker said. But anything that procedures be implemented for all commodities. Where ,necessary, the task force recommends a fund be is resurveyed will, be done ,in metric. 100 pound concentrate bags will be changed to 40 kilogram bags, which is about 88 pounds.
