PESTICIDE SAFETY
COURSES OFFERED
Throughout Ontario, 300 Grower
Pesticide Safety Courses have been
scheduled for a six-month period which
began last November.
The course fee is a subsidized $20
per participant. The one -day courses
cover such topics as label interpretation,
the selection of safety equipment, envi-
ronmental protection, and pesticide tox-
icity. Each participant receives a course
annual to use as a reference guide.
An open -book examination follows
the course and a grade of 75 per cent or
better is required to gain a certificate.
OMAF and the Ministry of the Envi-
ronment are discussing the possibility of
making the course mandatory. If that
happens, farmers certified now will
have a head start.
Participants should bring a pencil or
pen, a calculator, and lunch (restaurants
may be nearby depending on the course
location). To register, contact your local
OMAF office.0
AGRICULTURE FACES
LABOUR SHORTAGE
Young people are shying away from
agriculture as a carter choice.
That was the message delivered by
Bill Allen, director of Centralia College,
to a workshop at the National Agricul-
tural Employment Conference held re-
cently in Hamilton.
Allen warned that the labour short-
age in agriculture will become even
worse in the next few years. "Young
people are being discouraged from en-
tering agriculture by parents, guidance
counsellors, and friends," he said.
There continues to be a perception
that agriculture is a depressed industry
with very few employment opportuni-
ties, he added. But many jobs on the
farrn or in agribusiness remain vacant
because well-trained employees are not
available.
"There are many agriculture jobs
that compare very favourably with those
in other industries. We just haven't been
effective in getting that message out to
young people making their career
choice," Allen said.0
