recommendations
Wheat producers'
mitteemen held by the
Ontario Wheat producers'
Marketing Board this week
in Toronto set the stage for
several recommendations
being made for board con-
sideration.
The committee men called
for farmers to be exempt
'from excise tax on farm
fuel; extension of the Two
Price Wheat Act set to expire
the end of June; an increase
in the special on-farm
storage payment from $341)
per tonne to $1.75 per tonne'

conditioning fee paid to
agents of $1.10 per tonne;
and continued effort for

initial payment on 1980 crop
wheat from $83.00 per tonne

How do we tell if it's
profitable? This generally
requires budgeting or
financial planning, It's a
management job, and if you
are not willing to do it, you
have less chance of success.
Another important prin-
ciple is to match the length of
loan to the ptoduaive life of
the asset. Longer loans mean
more total <money to pay
back, but the benefits of
spreading out the payments
usually outweigh the extra
cost. You should also match
loan repayments to the time
income is coming in from the
use of the loan. For dairy
cows, repay some of the loan
from each pay cheque; for
market stock and crops,
make payments when you
sell them.
If you find that you are
never able to have all of your
operating loans paid off,
perhaps you do not have your
short term (operating) loans
and long term (mortgage)
loans in the proper balance.
In this situation even at
today's high interest rates,
you would perhaps be wise to
increase the mortgage on
your property and pay off
operating loans. Mortgage
interest rates are
significantly lower than
operating loan rates, so this
will decrease your current'
cash requirements for loan
repayment.
Although we may have•
qualms about dealing with
the bank manager,
discussing expected
increases in credit
requirements or loan
repayment problems with
him at an early date is highly
recommended.
Perhaps if we were to look
at using credit as a
challenge to make a profit
using other people's money,
the stigma attached to it
would disappear completely.

The cost of disease can be

Condemnations. Since many
farms are affected by
disease in one way or
another at certain times of
the year, the total annual
'cost of disease to the sheep
industry is probably quite
Significant,
Disease may be due to
infectious organisms,
parasites, stress conditions,
poor nutrition. and general
Management short-comings.
It may be shown as death

deterioration of bOdy con-
dition, poor reproductive and
growth performance or
simply the inability of the
owner to realize a profit at
the end of the year, when a

profit could. reasonably have
been expected,
An illness can be treated
as it comes along, or it may
be prevented by various,
means. Treatment.of disease
is sometimes, essential and
quite rewarding. However,
Most sheep ailments are
difficult, if not impossible, to
treat successfully. Treating,
disease is time consuming,
costly and often frustrating.
Prevention is th9 key to
success as far as disease
management is concerned. A
normally functioning
healthy sheep can usually be
kept healthy and productive
with well balanced rations in
a comfortable stressfree
environment by a
knowledgeable conscientious
sheep man, thoroughly
familiar 'with the principles,
of disease prevention.
However, no one and.
nothing is perfect and there
are many unexpected events
that can throw even the best
managed operation into a
state of calmity. There can
be sudden changes in tem-
peratures, weather or
simply, managerial ac-
cidents. Such factors can
cause stress. Severely
stressed sheep may become
decreases. Their defen-
ce mechanism breaks down,
causing a myriad of diseases
causing agents to suc-
cessfully invade the body,
Close attention to the details
of sheep management will
enable one to deal decisively
with disease just as soon as it
is detected, An accurate
diagnosis is essential for
proper treatment, and
should be obtained as
quickly as possible after a
problem is discovered,
Veterinarians in Huron
County are uniquely
qualified in helping sheep
producers with their sheep
disease management
problems. They have sound
knowledge of the principles
of disease, their treatments
and prevention,

There used to be a stigma
to credit; it was considered
bad to borrow. Now it is
looked on in most cases as
another tool of business. Use
of credit in the farm business
could even be compared with
using fertilizer in crop
production. Using foci much,
too little or the wrong kind
can. be disastrous. Credit has
become so important that
using the right amount in the
right way at the right time
can determine success.
Research studies have
shown that the farmers who
got ahead fastest and who
had the higher net incomes
used more credit than those
with slower rates of growth
and lower net incomes.
How do we use credit
properly? One of the first
rules of credit is: use it for
productive purposes. If it is
not going to make you
money, don't use it. Credit
needs to generage extra
income to repay the loan.
