HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1963-07-11, Page 50 critocizes Te the editor; In recent issues pf some 'opal paperp reporting on a. Huron County Federation of Ag- riculture meeting, it was stated that they were pressing for a grain testing station in Huron county. Do these farinerscloulet the accuracy of the tests they are receiving? ° They said that some farmers from this area had taken same ples to three mills a.rid received three different gradings as to the moisture centent on the same seed, Mr. Editor, I doubt that the same seed was tested at all three mill se-possibly three eamplee from the same lot? For more than 15 years, we have owned a moisture tester on our farm and find it very useful. We have found that there is a considerable variation in mois- ture content in even a small quantity of grain.Ihave made es many as four tests on less than a half bushel pf grain and found differences in each test. The best way, it would seem to me, is for a farmer to own his own tester and use it. One can be bought for less than a TV set. Then you have a good idea of the moisture content of the grain whether you sell it or store it yourself. There is no doubt in my mind that f armers are getting a square deal, as to moisture test, from any of the three mills in Hensel'. For years I kept a close test on all our grain sold to any of these ele- vators and to other private enterprise mills in the area and found them honest in their tes- ting. Sometimes their t ests would be slightly higher or slightly lower than mine but al- ways reasonably close, It seems typical of the Fede- ration of Agriculture to try to arouse suspicion and distrust between farm producers and any private enterprise. If some far- mers are dissatisfied with pri- vate mills, there is still their "co-ops" to patronize. Why put the whole population to the un- necessary expense of opening and operating a testing station to satisfy a minority group? The Federation of Agricul- ture claims to speak for the vast majority of farmers. I wonder if it had to operate on membership dues (as do most organizations) without grants, how great a membership they could claim. The Federation supports compulsory hog mar- keting.
