Demo -Day '86 is sponsored by the Ontario Farm Drainage Association and is endorsed by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improve- ment Association. With the sup- port from these two groups and in- terest in erosion control and better soil management, a large crowd is expected. Earlier Demo -Days were held at Watford (1984), Win- chester (1982), and Shedden (1980). The demonstration will include the installation of drainage tile and tubing on 20 acres of farmland at Ross Enterprises in Maryborough Township near Teviotdale. Static displays will exhibit erosion con- trol materials, drainage materials, and examples of conservation tillage equipment recommended for reduced tillage practices. More than 15 of the most ad- vanced drainage machines will in- stall 19,000 feet of pipe. Contrac- tors will demonstrate construction of such structures as outlet protec- tion devices, drop -structures, and stream bank protection. There will also be explanations of all items that are covered in the OSCEPAP grant scheme (Ontario Soil Con- servation and Environmental Pro- tection Assistance Program). The contractor in charge of all the drainage and erosion control construction is B & E Marquardt Tiling Contractors, of Moorefield, Ontario. In total, visitors to the one day event will see the advantages of a "total system approach" to soil and water conservation and management. The benefits of systematic farm drainage, and in- tegrated tillage and soil manage- ment systems will be presented by key industry and OMAF personnel at each demonstration and exhibit.
