If you are a pork producer
and are registered with the
Ontario Pork Producers
Marketing Board, you , will
have received la brochure and
applicatkin form for the Sow
Wearier Stabilization 'Plan.
They were mailed recently: If
you did not get ,,the inform-
ation ;and, have sows,, the
information can be obtained
from the Agricultural Office
in Clinton. Deadline for
enrolment is September lst,
1980.
The program is voluntary -
anyone with over four sows is
eligible to enroll. Farrowing
operations producing wean-
ers and• farrow to finish
operations are eligible.
Finishing operations are not
eligible - you must have
sows.
This is a five year program
retroactive to April 1st, 1980.
The farmer's enrolment fee
is one-third of the cost of the
stabilization fund. The prov-
like puts in the other two-
thirds. Since a payout is
expected in the first period
(April 1st to September 30th,
1980) no enrolment fees will
be required at time of
enrolment. They will • be
collected later when the price

of hogs improves.
Stabilization payments are
based on the average price of
market hogs for the last 5
years - with adjustment for
change in, cash costs of
productthn..When the actual
price over a production per-
' od averages less than 95%
of the' ayerage, for' the vast
five years, ' a payment re:T. ,
sults. The maximum pay-
ment possible is down to
90%.
Should you enrol in the
plan? Bearing in mind' that
the province contributes two
dollars for every dollar you
contribute, then it appears
obvious that you should. Will
fees continue to be collected
in a time of high prices? They
will be collected to the point
where the fund has enough
money to withstand one
payout to producers, then
additional fees will be collec-
ted. Each producer fee is
accounted for separately and
bank interest is paid. At the
termination of the plan any
balance will be returned to
the producers with interest.
SUPPORT FOR WEANER
PIG PRODUCERS
The Federal Government
has announced that Cana-
dian weaner pig producers
will receive a support pay-
ment of $.1 .00 per weaner,pig
sold between April 1, 1979: to
March 31, 1980. This pro-
gram is separate from the
Ontario Sow Weaner Stabil-
ization which Is a five year
program offered by the Farm
Income Stabilization Com-
Mission, Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and food.
The Federal program will
pay the $1.00 support pay-
ment on up to 5000 pigs.
Application forms will be
available shortly from the

GROWTH MANAGEMENT
OF DAIRY HEIFERS
A well managed heifer
rearing program will pro-
mote maximum growth and
result in heifers entering the
milking string at 25 months
of age. If your heifers are not
fresh by 25 months then you
could be losing as much as
$3.00 per day until each
heifer freshens.
Such things as proper
nutrition, housing and para-
site control will insure heif-
ers to grow according to their
genetic potential.
In general; the lack of
growth is* responsible for
many heifers not being bred
before 18. to 24 months. Herd
replacements are often ig-

nored and let "stand still"
because they are not contrib-
uting to the, current income.
Desirable weights for heif-
ers at calving are: Holstein
and Brown Swiss: 520-575
,kg; Ayishires and Guernseys
450.500 kg and Jerseys 375-
4°° kg.
Every dairyman should be
' concerned about his heifer
management program and
aim for the above weights at
24 to 25 months. —Dennis
