The Rural Voice, 1985-09, Page 55FARM NEWS
Award is Ralph Winslade, a native of
Mount Forest and currently a Farm
Business Advisor in Vineland. As a
youth, the 1962 OAC graduate in
animal husbandry was very active as
both a 4-H leader and member in
Mount Forest. He is an expert at
estate planning and can interpret
many of the tax changes for both
OMAF personnel and farmers with
great ease and clarity, Pullen says.
Pullen, now a director of the Cana-
dian Society of Extension, says the
organization is planning for a special
event to be held at the University of
Guelph in August of 1987. Key
members in planning this Agriculture
Institute of Canada Convention are
Doug Jamieson, principal of Cen-
tralia College of Agricultural
Technology, and Dick Heard,
Rcgional Manager for the
Agricultural Representatives Branch,
OMAF. The theme of the convention
has just recently been chosen: "Water
— Our Global Challenge."0
Agri -business supports
the Royal
Ciba-Geigy Canada Ltd. will make
up to $23,000 in prizes available to
the Market Cattle Division of the
Royal Agricultural Winter Fair this
year, the largest awards package in
this type of competition in Canada.
In announcing the award sponsor-
ship, Andy Stewart, the fair's general
manager, said it is this type of back-
ing by a Canadian agri-business that
keeps the Royal's Market Cattle
Show the biggest and best in Canada.
Ciba-Geigy Canada Ltd. also put
up prizes for the square-dancing com-
petition, the Field Crops Division,
and the Horse Show Welcome Stakes
in 1984. The company plans to con-
tinue its sponsorship in these areas
but the major thrust of its involve-
ment at the 1985 Royal remains with
the Market Cattle Division. "Spon-
sorship of the Market Cattle Division
at the Royal fits in very naturally with
our company's emphasis on better
cattle productivity," says Dave
Bushell, marketing manager with
Ciba-Geigy Canada Ltd. "The Royal
is the perfect place to express our
commitment to the Canadian cattle
industry."
Ciba-Geigy Canada Ltd. is the
manufacturer of Bovaid insecticide
ear tags. Bovaid is a fly control
method which has proven itself to
many beef producers, cow/calf
operators, and dairymen in the field
and in the laboratory.0
