The Rural Voice, 1987-05, Page 33NEWS DUCKS UNLIMITED FORMED IN WINGHAM People from Wingham and surroun- ding areas interested in participating in a practical conservation program will be given an opportunity to do so later this year, says Blake Evans, chairman of the newly organized Wingham com- mittee of Ducks Unlimited Canada. Ducks Unlimited is an internation- al waterfowl conservation organiza- tion. Since 1938, it has worked on more than 2,100 wetlands projects throughout Canada, reserving more than three million habitat acres and creating more than 13,000 miles of crucial nesting shoreline for waterfowl. "Our committee will soon be call- ing on conservation -minded individuals within the community to help support our fund-raising banquet scheduled for October 2," says Evans. For more information about the organization, call 519-357-1920.0 HCPPA DISCUSSES EDUCATION PROGRAM The Promotion Committee of the Huron County Pork Producers Asso- ciation notes that there is a need to educate more butchers about the cut of the pork steak, which can be taken from the shoulder, loin, and hind legs. In other business at the Huron pro- ducers' meeting last month, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food staff presented a tentative plan for producer education in the county in 1987-88. The plan, for which there is a possible $5,000 available over five years, in- cludes a proposal for three manage- ment clubs plus a fourth for farmers in the beginning farmers' program. Other activities could include com- puter courses for farmers computeriz- ing their record-keeping, general meet- ings presented by qualified personnel to discuss specific problems (such as mycotoxins), links with "sister" coun- ty associations in the U.S. to promote the exchange of information, and a retail promotion demonstration for those involved in processing red meat.
