Wheat Update May 18, 1998
Significant advances in wheat stage growth at this date. Most of
the wheat is now at GS 39 (flag leaf emerged). Some wheat will
be headed in the next 10-14 days. Disease is present in almost all
fields. Inspect your field. If you find disease on or near the
penultimate leaf (one below flag) apply your fungicide to protect
the flag leaf (this leaf is responsible for 55% of grain fill).

The Ontario Bean Producers'
Marketing Board will, for the first
time since agency marketing
powers were granted to it in 1968,
introduce a new marketing
alternative to Ontario's white pea
bean producers. This new
marketing option will be called the
"Partial Production Contract"
(PPC) and will be offered to
producers by the board through its
comprehensive dealer network,
effective immediately.
This contract allows producers
the flexibility to contract a
predetermined quantity of their
crop for delivery to the dealer, and
gives control to the producer to
oversee both the timing and pricing
of this contracted quantity.
The deadline for sign up by the
producer is June 30 at which time
quantity must . be committed,
however the pricing window of the
PPC extends to May 1.
For 1998, the board will offer
100,000 bags out under this option,
which in turn will he offered to
producers on a first come, first
served basis. Comprehensive
dealers will offer these contracts on
a pro-rated basis, according to each
producer's total production estimate
and comfort level to a maximum of
five bags per acre.
In addition to this new marketing
alternative, the board and dealers
will continue to explore other
opportunities with international and
domestic customers for Ontario
grown white pea beans and will
introduce some of these

Larry Anderson, board chair said,
"Ontario's white pea bean

be measured against the highest
quality standards for white pea

Young Nicholas McGilvery of Dungannon was among the
many who enjoyed a wonderful, warm May 16 by visiting
the Meeting Place Organic Farm open house, in West
Wawanosh Twp. Owned and operated by Tony and Fran
McQuail, the tour offered a look at both livestock and
organic gardening operations. They also run a community
garden. A horse-drawn wagon ride took guests around
the farm for a view of ponds, woodlot, wildlife, orchards
and gardens.
