rocks, Togs, stream deflectors, buffer
strips and tree and shrub plantings.
The project shows how materials,
many of which are commonly found
on the farm, can be used to stabilize
shorelines to prevent soil erosion.
The project also explains how these
techniques can improve wildlife
habitats and enhance water quality.
The third annual log auction at the
show will include some new types of
wood including sawn wood and
burls, perfect for the small craftsmen
or wood carvey with a special piece
of wood in mind. There will be an
opportunity for visitors to have wood
custom cut from the auction at no
extra charge.
All of these new 'events will blend
into the informative exhibits in the
Expo, including the Partners in
Action Tent, the Resource Managers
Tent, the annual Log Auction, the
sawmill operators, logging
contractors, the raptor demonstration,
the portable sawmills and the
chainsaw dealerships.
The Industrial Hemp Information
Tent was one of the busiest spots on
the Canada's Outdoor Farm Show
site last September. The tent will be
packed with information once again,
but this year the emphasis will be on
industrial hemp oil, how it is
processed, and what its applications
are.
Although industrial hemp fibre
has many uses, the oil is an
exceptional lubricant and is currently
being used by many companies in the
cosmetics industry. It is generally
recognized that there are an amazing
number of applications for industrial
hemp in general, and the Industrial
Hemp Information Tent has been
erected to answer every question
about the crop.
A plot of industrial hemp has been
planted at the Canada's Outdoor
Farm Show site, which will be
located just South of the Industrial
Hemp Information Tent again this
year. Industrial hemp expert Gordon
Scheifele will be on hand to give a
few talks on the crop and answer
questions. An industrial hemp
fashion show is also being organized
to show off the possiblities of the
crop in a fun and informative way.
The fashion show will take place in
the Family Farm Garden tent.
