Pork Workshops set for December
BYANDYSANDE
PORK ADVISOR,
HURONCOUNTY
Enrolment forms for the Ontario
Pork Industry Improvement Plan
are continuing to flow into the
Clinton OMAF office at a steady
rate.
With enough producers enrolled
now, some trends are beginning to
develop. Of close to 200 producers
so far, about 70 per cent have
indicated that they are already
keeping monthly production re
cords in some form. This would
indicate that the majority of
producers will need to spend a
minimal amount of time meeting
the obligatory production record
requirement for OPIIP incentive
grants. As well, it is encouraging to
see that the other 30 per cent of
those enrolled are willing to
commence keeping a set of produc
tion records in order to meet
eligibility requirements.
To me, this indicates that the
OPIIP program is fulfilling its
mandate. It also would indicate a
need for an exchange of informa
tion regar’ding the principles of
record keeping. To that end, two
workshops have been tentatively
scheduled in December for produ
cers interested in trying out the
Pork Management 2000 system on
their farm.
This system is a manual one and
can be adapted to be as simple or as
complex as the producer needs it to
be. The times and dates are as
follows: Friday, December 5, 1:30
p.m., OMAF Boardroom, Clinton;
or Monday, December 8, 8:00
p.m., Farm Information Centre,
Wingham.
These workshops will be limited
to twenty people so it is suggested
that interested parties pre-register
with the Clinton OMAF Office
(482-3428 or 1-800-265-5170).
