Weather forecasting
benefits agriculture
BY DAVID A. PALLETT
Agrometeorologist
Ontario Dept. of
Agriculture and Food, Brampton
Plants depend for growth and
development on their genetic
constitution and on the
environmental conditions of soil
and climate. As an ecological
factor in agriculture, soil has
been thoroughly studied and is
better understood . than climate.
In general, farmers know more
about soil management than
they do about fully exploiting
climatic resources.
One reason for the slow
progress of agricultural
meteorology is the common
misconception that studies of
plant and climate relationships
have only limited practical value.
Realizing this problem, the
Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food will
resume the agricultural weather
forecasting program in April
1969, This will be the second
complete year for this relatively
new program and agrologists are
urged to listen carefully for
these agriculturally -orientated
weather forecasts. The program
has been carried on many rural
stations such as CKNX in
Wingham and CFOR in Chatham
and for the first time this year it
can be heard over the CBC's
"Radio Noon" show throughout
the entire growing season.
Although man is not yet able
to change the weather, except
on a very limited scale, he is
capable of adjusting agricultural
practices to fit the climate.
Apart from the many
applications of weather
forecasting to current problems,
meteorological studies may
benefit agriculture in other
ways. The ,first that comes to
mind is how climatological
research concerns cultural
practices.
Problems such as irrigation,
varietyselection, and
transplanting can be solved best
when viewed in the light of
climatic environment. Another
promising field of research is the
artificial modification ' of
microclimate by means of
shelter belt, shading and
mulching, heating, evaporation
suppressing, and the like.
Thus meteorology and
agriculture, whether they be
considered as science or basic
techniques of daily life, are
closely linked.
Feed is biggest cost
in production of milk
The cost of milk production
has been studied for almost 20
years by the Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food, through its Dairy Herd
Improvement Association
program.
In 1967, the income and
expenses of maintaining a dairy
herd were based on herds
averaging 32 milk cows.
The average gross income was
$20,044 per herd. This included
income from milk sales and milk
