Planting the seeds of hope Members from several local churches, area farmers and district Co-ops donated supplies, time and equipment to help those less fortunate. Steven Caldwell of Auburn Co-op, far right, and Steven Laird, sales rep for Teeswater Co-op, fill the planter to begin the process. Fred Meier donated his time and equipment to get the crop in the ground Monday afternoon. The soya bean seed for an 11 acre plot was donated by the Co-op with the yield from it and a four and a half acre test plot being donated to the local Canadian Food Grains Bank project. Maurice Hallahan contributed his time and machinery to cultivate the plots. FE-EM1ARM A Paracltfe, OPEN 9 to oMon. to Fri., 9 to 6 Sat. & Sun. RR # 1 Bayfield Ted and Ema Ont.

Soil important to performance BOX 298 BRUSSELS, ONT. NOG 1HO TELEPHONE: (519) 887-9922 FAX: (519) 887-6685 Soil structure has a tremendous influence on the performance of crops and especially bean crops because of their poor, weak root system compared to other crops. Some crops such as alfalfa are much better at promoting good soil structure than other crops. A ranking of various crops in their ability to promote good soil structure is as follows: forage grasses > forage legumes > winter wheat > spring cereals > corn > soybeans > white and coloured beans. Soybeans and other bean crops add only a small amount of residue to the soil relative to other cropping systems. In addition, since these crops cover the soil for a shorter portion of the year then most other crops, soil deterioration and soil erosion potential increase. Grown continuous, bean crops deplete organic matter levels and result in deterioration of soil structure. This will show up in the field as increased crusting, soil compaction and uneven beans. The two most common diseases encouraged by short rotations or continuous beans are root rot and white mould. On clay loam and silt loam soils, root rots and poor soil structure go hand in hand and account for much of the yield decrease under shorter rotations. The one place where yields of soybeans are not reduced as dramatically when grown continuous is on sandy soiL. Here root rot is not as severe. Ihcrc are other factors that will BRUSSELS LIVESTOCK Division of Gamble & Rogers Ltd. UPCOMING SALES TUESDAYS THURSDAYS FRIDAYS BRUSSELS 887-6461 affect your decision to grow soybeans on the same field. The more often soybeans have been grown on a field in the past, the more risk you run of a reduced yield. Generally, you shouldn't plant soybeans on a field more than once every four years. Problem weeds in a field such as sow thistle, bindweed, nutsedge and nightshade will also influence your decision. 9 a.m. Finished Cattle & Cows 9:00 a.m. Dropped Calves Veals followed by Goats Sheep & Lambs 10:00 a.m. Stocker Cattle 1:00 p.m. Pigs ‘ Computerized tune-ups * brakes - turn drums & rotors * exhaust * headlight aiming * tires - sales, repairs, computerized wheel balancing * service * battery sales - testing & service * vehicle inspection station Phone 523-4356 for an appointment Open Mon. - Fri. 8:00 - 5:30 Located at Snell Feed & Supplies Ltd.
