Farmers working
towards solution
By Don McCabe, Vice-President,
Ontario Federation of Agriculture
World scientists are coming out in
agreement that global warming is a
fact and action needs to be taken
sooner than later to slow the
process.
A story in The Globe and Mail this
week quotes Derek Arndt, the co-
editor of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration. as
saying “the conclusion is
unmistakable”.
The report is co-edited by
researchers in the United States,
Canada, Britain and Australia
and represents data from 10
climate indicators measured by
160 research groups in 48 countries.
They compared figures decade by
decade as far back as they could
go.
These scientists noted that the
most recent decade – 2000 to 2009 –
was the warmest ever. Arndt says the
report is meant to be a kind of
medical check-up for the planet to
review and decide what action to
take.
The report states the past decade
was 0.6 degrees Celsius warmer than
the 1960s, and 0.2 degrees weamer
than the 1990s. With even such small
increases, Arndt points out glaciers
and sea ice are melting, “heavy
rainfall is intensifying, and heat
waves are more common.” This
change will also have ramifications
for farming practices, crop outcome
and our productivity.
Whether or not you believe in
various theories of global warming,
the data is hard to refute. Most
experts point to the buildup of
greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide,
nitrous oxide and methane) as a
major contributor to climate
change.
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) has been working
with partners in the industry to
reduce greenhouse gases through
adjustments to farming practices.
Ontario farmers have already taken
steps to reduce the level of
greenhouse gas emissions and to
sequester carbon, including such
measures as minimizing soil tillage.
The OFA is also working in the
interest of farmers to make sure that
any cap and trade system that
emerges recognizes the farm
contribution to the solution and
develops a system that allows
farmers to continue to adopt and
capitalize on greenhouse gas
reducing practices that will benefit
all Canadians.
Our Carbon Credit Aggregator
Project is taking a hard look at what
the agricultural sector needs to make
carbon credit generation a real
business opportunity for Ontario
farmers, while ensuring that the risks
and liabilities to farmers are
addressed.
The OFA’s biomass project is
striving for answers to critical
questions regarding the feasibility of
Ontario farmers to produce purpose-
grown crops as an alternative fuel
source to generate electricity instead
of using coal.
Our federal government has
offered praise to Ontario, Quebec
and British Columbia for
joining forces with the States of
California and New Mexico –
partners in the Western Climate
Initiative with plans of imposing a
system of caps on large industrial
emitters.
It’s encouraging to know that the
Canadian government is in the
process of establishing a Global
Research Alliance with 29 other
countries to bring new Best
Management Practices to Canadian
farms.
The OFA continues to study the
best market process to enable
Ontario farmers to capitalize on the
work they do in sequestering
greenhouse gases and reducing
them.
We know farming offers solutions
to greenhouse gases – we recognize
agriculture is 10 per cent of the
problem, but we’re capable of
providing 20 per cent of the solution
– given the right rules under cap and
trade.
The Huron community Family

physician regarding any recent test
results, if they are available, and to
have prescriptions renewed. Please
note physicians at these clinics will
not renew prescriptions for
narcotics.
To make an appointment for this
date, please call 519-600-2273.
