In a move hailed as "breaking new ground in education," the Perth Board of Education has agreed to raise funds and develop programs to enrich the school curriculum. Programs will draw on the cultural, business, and agricultural strengths of Perth County. Board consultant Joe Totaro says he has met with representatives from the Ontario Pork Congress, the Perth County Pork Producers, and the Women for the Support of Agriculture, who were "totally supportive and enthusias- tic" about sharing their knowledge in the classroom. Pork producers, he adds, could teach agricultural management workshops, genetic research, nutrition, health, sex education, and the philosophy behind the agrarian way of life. The foundation will be in operation for at least three years.0 OMAF OFFERS FORAGE TESTING From June 30 to September 2 this year, Ontario livestock producers can take advantage of the feed -sample serv- ice offered by the Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food. The ministry, through the Summer Experience '88 program, has hired eight students to sample feeds on farms this year. In Huron and Perth counties, contact Jim Wright at the OMAF office in Clin- ton. In Grey and Bruce, contact Taiu Landra at the Walkerton OMAF office. The students will take samples, fill out lab submission forms, and forward feed samples to Agri -Food Laboratories in Guelph. The farm visit is free of charge. Farmers enrolled in the Red Meat Plan or the Ontario Pork Industry Improve- ment Plan may use their vouchers for two free analyses; others pay the lab's going rate.0
