in
agriculture
A seminar about electronics in
agriculture held at Centralia College
last year was so popular among
farmers that a short course dealing
with the subject will be held at the
college this winter.
The course will be taught by Luc
Brunet, who joined the Centralia
teaching staff in September. Brunet,
who holds an M.A. from the Univer-
sity of Guelph, teaches farm
mechanics, farmstead engineering,
water management, engineering prin-
ciples, and math.
Brunet already has a tentative
agenda for the 18 -hour short course,
which starts in January. The agenda,
he says, is flexible. "If a number of
participants have the same electronics
problem, we'll devote one of the six
lectures to that subject."
The subject of computers will start
the lectures. "Many farmers see com-
puters only as a big filing cabinet,"
says Brunet, who will discuss
capabilities of the machine in finan-
cial analysis and depreciation calcula-
tions. He will also discuss the kinds of
computers and kinds of packages
most helpful to farmers.
Electronics on the farm can control
the climate in both greenhouses and
livestock buildings. It is gaining
popularity in automated feed handl-
ing. It can also monitor the grain loss
on a field combine, and can even give
the machine enough intelligence to
automatically adjust ground speed to
reduce harvest loss. The flow in ir-
rigation and drainage systems can
also be monitored by electronics says
Brunet. In his final three-hour lec-
ture, he hopes to address the future
applications of electronics on the
farm. ❑
