HWY. 4 South of Clinton 519.482-3752 Car 519.482.9796 PG. 4 SPECIAL EQUIPMENT SPECIAL, "Testing before investing" About 30 of southwestern On- tario's best farmers from Huron, Perth, Oxford, Essex, and Kent Counties recently took part in a unique Top Farmers Workshop. Working from the Purdue Crop Budget B-10 computer program developed in Indiana, farmers had the opportunity to consider crop rotations, solutions to the pro- blem of time, farm size, and tillage practices on their own farms. The workshop in London was the final of a three-day program held over several weeks in southwestern Ontario. It is the direct result of the efforts of three members of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food who specialize in crop production in Huron and Perth Counties. John Heard, Brian Hall and Ken McEwan visited Purdue University in 1985 and examined the program to see if it would be beneficial to the farmers they work with. With the program farmers ask themselves several questions about their operations. For example when considering a machinery change questions would include: "Where should 1 invest my next $10,000, $25,000 or $50,000 in machinery? How is profit affected by a different sized combine, trac- tor, planter? What would the next larger size really cost me? Would a shift to a different tillage system likely increase or decrease net return? How many acres of beans are necessary to justify adding a se- cond planter for narrow row beans? Suppose I am short of land preparation capacity; what is the effect of hiring custom fertilizer applications or hiring custom herb- icide applications? Each farmer titled out a Purdue Crop Budget B-10 input form describing thoroughly their own farming operation. The form was analyzed with the computer pro- gram in Indiana, and returned to the farmer showing options to his current farming practices. The course itself cost participants $100 and was meant for only farmers serious about examining all aspects of their cropping operation. The program gives farmers an oppor- tunity to farm on the computer and "test before they invest."OPC APRIL, 1986 WRIG HT'S MF Foriusen Farm Equipment Ltd.
