Nuclear program
irresponsible
Hyrdo's proposed program
for nuclear generating sta-
tions is both undesirable and
irresponsible, Peter Han-
nam, president of the Ont-
ario Federation of Agricul-
ture (OFA), said today.
Speaking at the public
hearing of the Porter Com-
mission where he presented
the OFA brief, Hannam ex-
pressed strong disapproval
over the proposed Ontario
Hydro plan for nuclear gen-
erating stations and trans-
mission corridors.
He said it was "entirely
irresponsible to waste pres-
ent foodland resources for
any short-term industrial
benefit. There must be a
balance." Hannam explain-
ed that shifting food produc-
tion onto less productive land
substantially _°increased the
energy needs of the farmer
and decreased the amount of
production. This, . he said,
"will be reflected directly in
higher consumer food
costs."
Hannam •• explained the.
near total reliance this: plan
would place on uranium -and
coal, two exhaustible fuels, is -
undesirable
s -undesirable and risky. "Ont-
ario Hydro expressed belief
in the past in an energy
mix," he added. But now,
despite all our oil problems,
it wants to rely on only two
fuel sources."
Hannam said the OFA
realized the need for surplus
energy but could not support
the destruction of our .agri-
cultural land for the purpose
of exporting energy to the
U.S.
He added, if the .generat-
ing stations are as- safe as
we're being told, why not
build them in metro areas?
"W1y .should the agricultur-
al community? be forced to
accept risks and restrictive
planning measures." The
OFA brief recommended fur-

Before that, he had been a

mers Union.
There were many expres-
sions of appreciation to Lorne
for his dedication and work.
Lorne replied that the educa-
tion he has received through
working in the National
Farmers Union is a great
satisfaction to him.

study -concludes with several
recommendations for sod
production. Most sod farms
now in production are located
on sandy soils with a relative-
ly level topography, which
Prof. Sheard describes as the
right choice of land. Gravel,
clay or,lbedroCkk,„subsoils will
decrease the productivity of
the land much faster than if
the soil is consistent in tex-
ture to a depth of at least one
meter. The sod farmer
should maintain adequate
fertility and should practise
deep plowing and tillage to
promote a gradual incorpora-
tion of the subsoil. The pre-
paration of `a lever' soil
surface for seeding will re-”
duce the' depth that, the
cutter bar on the harvester
must be set to avoid scalp-
ing, p'inally, the sod farmer
can further reduce erosion
losses by delaying the deep
,plowing, until the month
before seeding:'
