Sports club plans for ball tournament BY LERA RYAN FAMILY RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST Working with your spouse or family members on the farm has many advantages and challenges. Giving advice in a pleasant positive way is a skill we can all use when working together. During the hectic haying and harvesting season we sometimes give advice rather generously without much thought about how it may be received. Advice in the form of a compli­ ment is usually welcome: “I think you culled the right calves” reinforces what the other person did. However it isn’t always that easy to make advice welcome. Telling your own experience tactfully suggests that the person do (or not do) the same thing. “When I had that happen, I had Joe (the local mechanic) rebuild the pump instead of replacing the whole unit” is more positive than saying “Why the heck are you spending all that money?” Allow a person time to consider a suggestion and make a decision. Repeating it may make the person feel anxious and intimidated. There is a big difference be­ tween giving advice and giving orders. Adding “orelse” or “I told you so” easily turns intended advice into a threatening order. Advice is best given when both persons feel relaxed and are by themselves. A person who is tired. tense or irritable does not receive advice well. When possible wait until you are asked for an opinion. We all learn by deciding things for ourselves.

One sow-equivalent is equal to one sow or 15 market­ weight hogs sold annually. Under the original eligibility criteria, producers were required to have 20 sows or sell 300 market-weight hogs per year. With the changes, a producer with any combination of sows and market hogs equalling 20 sow­ equivalents will now be eligible for the program. For example, the plan will be open to a producer with 10 sows who markets 150 market­ weight hogs annually or a producer with five sows who markets a total of 225 hogs annually. The OPIIP program has 2,273 pork producers registered, repre­ senting more than 50 per cen i of the hogs marketed in the province. Color Your World 30% OFF* WALLCOVERING BOOKS!
