effect of electric heat on cost,

reports Peter Nicholas, Agricul
tural Marketing supervisor at
Hydro’s Western Region office in
London.
Roaster chicken producer Theo
VanAstenfromRodney, will report
on his experience in operating two

Several contractors have gener
ously provided financial support
for the day and will be available to
answer questions during the tour.
“We certainly hope farmers will
take advantage of this opportun
ity,’’ said Bob Fuller a Resource
Technician at the MVCA.
“The tour will show some
effective waste management sy
stems, and tell farmers how they
can take maximum advantage of
the grants available to make
similar improvements.’’
Studies of water samples taken
in the Maitland Valley Watershed
have revealed that wastes from
livestock operations have had a
serious effect on water quality.
While the runofffroma single farm
is usually small, the accumulative
effect is significant.
The water quality problem can
be attributed to a variety of factors
related to manure storage includ
ing runoff from solid manure
storages, direct tiling of milkhouse
wastes into a stream or field tile,
the application of manure,on
saturated ground or near stream
banks and allow ing cattle access to
streams and drains.
