Corn seminar
Discussions on using high-
moisture cotn to reduce feed
costs appeared to' be the
drawing card for many of the
60 farmers attending a
ministry of agriculture and
food dairy seminar in Clinton
Thursday.
Ministry spokesman
Dennis Martin said farmers
are becoming increasingly
interested in moist corn
"because of the high cost of
drying and (.he time it
takes.’’
Martin said in an interview
that a farmer can save as
much as 30 cents a bushel by
not drying the corn. He said
the high-moisture feed can
be used year round.
"In the warmer months
you can have a problem with
spoilage ... so you have to
be more careful in storing it
during the summer.”
Some farmers were
concerned the high-moisture
corn would make their cattle
more susceptible to mastitis
but Martin said “under good
management that doesn’t
have to happen.”
He said if the few farmers
trying the high-moisture
corn have good results this
year more may take an
interest.
Other topics'’ discussed at
the one-day seminar in
cluded maximizing milk
quality through sound
functioning milk equipment,
mastitis control and using
feed additives and preser
vatives.
He said there are about 500
dairy farmers in the
county and “Huron County
rates near the top for dairy
production in the province of
Ontario.”

Savings plans
for farmers
»
Farmers should consider
Registered Retirement
Savings Plans (RRSP’s)as
part of their everyday finan
cial management, says Gary
Hutchison, of the Ontario
Agricultural College,
University of Guelph.
Farmers can use these
plans to average income
from one year to the next, or
to finance future farm ex
pansion.
“Buying RRSPs in a high
income year can save tax
es,” he says. “Taxes on an
nual taxable income of $40,-
000, two years in a row, will
be $15,000 each year under
1978 regulations.”
“However, if a farmer
buys the maximum RRSP
(20 percent of the income up
to a maximum of $5,500),
taxes will be reduced to $12,-
300 each year.
During the following year,
if the farm income dropped,
or an expansion program
resulted in reduced income
or a cash loss, the farmer
could cash the RRSP.
“An $11,000 RI^SP, plus in
terest, could be cashed for
living expenses if necessary
or could be used to finance
farm expansion,” says Mr.
Hutchison. These funds will
be taxable, but dependingJon
the situation, there may be
no tax to pay, or the tax rate
will be reduced from 50 per
cent to 20 percent.”
RRSPs are also valuable
management tools if a
farmer is planning a large
capital purchase such as a
combine, explains Mr.
Hutchison. The investment
tax credit on the $60,000
combine is $4,500. An $11,000
RRSP'combined with a $20,-
000 taxable income in
creases the tax payable by
about $4,900.
“The investment tax
credit would offset most of
the tax, then the balance of
$10,600 would be available as
a down payment on the com
bine,” says Mr. Hutchison.
RRSPs are also easy to
buy and manage - another
advantage for farmers.
They can be purchased
through banks or trust com
panies to offset the 1978 in
come until March 1.
