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.

OPIIP changes allow
smaller producers to join
Changes to the Ontario Pork
Industry Improvement Plan
(OPIIP) will enable smaller pork
producers to join the program,
Agriculture and Food Minister
Jack Riddell has announced.
“The new criteria will include
the smaller farrow-to-finish opera
tor,’’ said Riddell. “We were
concerned with a number of these
producers who were not able to
participate in the program.”
To be eligible for assistance,
producers must now have a
minimum of 20 “sow-equiva
lents”. 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.
