How god is yeur SOW cease
breeding program?
Research Ilan shown that a
three-breed crossbred, as
compared. pure breds,
should give you 15 percent
larger litter size at birth, 42
percent larger Utter size at
weaning, 58 percent larger
weaning weight per litter
and an 11 percent im-
provement in average daily
gain, These are research
figures that can be quite
variable but very definite
improvements. For these
reasons, all pork producers
should have a planned
breeding program to get the
maximum hybrid vigour out
of their animals.
Hetemis or hybrid vigour
is the increased per-
formance of the offspring
over the parents. For
example, if Yorkshire
average a litter size of 10 and
i Landrece 10 and f you
crossed the two breeds and
had a litter size of 12, then
the hybrid vigour would be
the extra two piglets. It's the
increase over the parents
that is called hybrid vigour.
Hybrid vigour is best with
traits of low heritability
(litter size, piglet survival,
weaning weight).. Cross
breeding improves these
traits. Pure breeding gives
you the best opportunity to
improve traits with high
heritability (backf at,
average daily gain and feed
efficiency.)
How good is your cross
breeding program? What do
you want to improve most?
If you use only two breeds in
your cross breeding
program, then you• can only
obtain 67 percent of the
hybrid vigour possible. With
three breeds, you will be able
to obtain 86 percent. A four
breed terminal cross gives
you maximum hybrid vigour
but no opportunity to select
replacements.
The biggest question is
what kind of progeny will
cross bred boars produce
when mated to cross bred
sows. The offspring will be
born larger and healthier,
but according to hybrid seed
companies, you would not
save thy offspring for
replacement females. But
with pigs, health is so im-
portant that you should have
a breeding program
especially designed for
raising your own
replacements, if possible.

A bad dream that's true:
The other night I dreamed
1 had agreed to help an area
hog farmer with his chores,
He had left for the weekend
and all I had to do was the
feeding and some cleaning.
When he got back, he was
quite upset, Some pig pens
had 6 inches of feed on the
floor. The pigs in those pens
hadn't eaten half of what I
gave them. More was kicked
(hewn through the slots at the
back of the pen. In other
pens, the pigs were
squealing like you wouldn't
believe. They were starving.
Needless to say, the owner
was quite upset. He asked
me what I had done. I told
him I gave every pen the
same amount of feed, Ten
big shovel fulls, twice a day.
Then he really got upset and
asked me why I did that. I
told him I thought that was
the way he wanted it done.
I had seen his cropping
program and that is the way
'he treated his crops. He put
the same herbicide on all
fields. He never checked to
see what weeds were there.
He just sprayed them all the
same, irregardless of the
weeds. He never walked the
fields in the summer time to
see what weeds ecapes he
had.
This is the part of the
dream that has come true.
This year I have seen too
many fields with bad weed
escapes. These weeds just
didn't suddenly appear.
They have been building up
for the past 2 or more years.
They could have been con-
trolled earlier, I am seeing
triazine resistant lambs
quarter, proso millet, velvet
leaf - just to name 3 of the
goodies. All can be con-
trolled.
Now you know I didn't
dream about feeding
somebody's pigs for a
weekend. I have better
things to dream about. I am
just trying to make the point.
How can you possibly pick
the right herbicide corn
bination for next year if you
don't walk your fields this
year to see what weeds you
have?
And while you are walking
the field, why don't youtake
a soil probe and do some soil
testing too,

Dote its of sow weeper
stabilization plan now final
Agriculture and Fded
Minister Lorne C. Henderson
has announced the final
details of the Sow Weaner
Pig. Stabilization Plan which
has come into effect
retroactive to April 1, 1980.
Farmers wilt enrol as
producers for a five-year
period, ending March 31,
1985. The plan, will work on
two six-month periods per
year, ending September 30
and March 31 of each year.
The minimum number of
sows eligible for enrolment
is four; the maximum
number a producer may
enrol is 100. The commission
will verify sow counts by
making spot checks on
randomly chosen farms,
As in other stabilization
plans, the government will
pay two-thirds. For a sow
weaner plan, however, the
commission will pay most of
the farmers' fees in advance
and recover them when hog
prices improve.
Payments will be based on
such prices of market hogs,
but paid on sows.
Additional details on such
items as eligiblity of part-
nerships and method of
registering sows will be
covered in a brochure to be
mailed early in August,
together with application
forms, to all producers
registered with the Ontario
Pork Producers Marketing
Board. Brochures and ap-
plication forms will also be
available from
the griculture Office,

Manitoba emergency
hay program
The response of Ontario
farmers to sipply hay to
Manitoba farmers who are
suffering from drought has
been overwhelming. The co-
ordination of hay movement
is being done by Keith
Watson of Manitoba
Agriculture and Doug
Wagner, who are located'at
the Elmvale Extension
Office, near Barrie.
Approximately 1,000 names
in the North Simcoe office
have been recorded with hay
for sale. Over 100,000 bales of
hay have been offered to the
program ein Huron County
alone.
The following are details of
the hay movement program :
1. Names, location,
amount and quality of hay
are being recorded at
Agricultural Representat-
ives' offices and forwarded
to the Elmvale Office. Due to
the number of inquiries it is
impossible to get to everyone
immediately. Farmers are
encouraged to use good
management practices in
the handling and storing of
hay, i.e. standing hay or
bales left stocked in the field
cann ot be handled in this
program.
2. Hay dealers, or
Manitoba farmers (who Will
be in Ontario) will be con-
tacting producers to pur-
chase hay. Potential hay
dealers or local co-
ordinators are invited to
contact Keith Watson to
arrange for purchasing of
hay and loading of cars, If a
Manitoba farmers comes to
Ontario to purchase hay
directly from Ontario far-
mers, Mr. Watson will direct
them throughout Ontario to s
look for their supplier. They
may also contact County
Agricultural offices to look
at hay lists.
3. Current price being
offered is $50,00 to $60.00 per
ton, loaded on the box car (a
car will hold about 550
bales), for good quality
legume-grass hay. This hay
is primarily for dairy
operations so quality is
important.
4. Farmers or dealers who
are shipping hay under this
program need the following:
(a) a purchase order
number for tonnage to be
purchased
(b) the name and number
of the Manitoba purchaser
and destination of car
(c) Box cars
arrangements can be made
through Keith Watson.
Mr, Watson says that C.N.
cars are not too available at
the present time in Huron;
however, C.P. ears could be
arranged for sidings in
Goderich, Blyth and Walton.
