Neil McGavin regales former
employee guests in Brussels

ment Ltd. is celebrating 50

RESEARCH FARM
OPEN HOUSE
Over 900 farmers from
southwestern Ontario attended the
open house at Ciba-Geigy's
Honeywood Research Farm.
One of the major themes of the
tours was safety. Demonstrations
included recommended safety
equipment for different types of
herbicides. Attendees also received
a free pair of safety coveralls.
A working model of a new direct
injection system for herbicides was
on display.
Other demonstrations included a
bulk herbicide installation; com-
parisons of different herbicide
combinations of corn; intensive
cereal management plots of wheat
and barley with and without
disease control using Tilt; conser-
vation tillage plots; and a triazine
tolerant canola project.
This is the fourth year Ciba-
Geigy has held tours of its research
farm, located just outside Platts-
ville. The main purpose of the
tours, according to Ciba-Geigy's
Sales Development Manager Ed
Lindenbach, is for people to come
out and see what the company is all
about. ❑
