THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 2002. PAGE 7.
The community extends deepest
sympathy to Ken Miller, Jodi and
Stacey and family on the passing of
Joan Miller in the evening,
Thursday, March 14. The Miller
family resided in Cranbrook for
many years.
The results of the Darts for Fun
held at the Cranbrook Community
Centre last Wednesday were as
follows: ladies' high score, Sharon
Evans, 98; men's high score, Murray
Keifer, 118; most starts, ladies, Gail
Speiran, six; most stars, men, Frank
Workman, seven; most finishes,
ladies, Gail Speiran and Sharon
Evans, two; most finishes, men,
Ernie Lewington and Brad Speiran,
four.
On Friday, March 14, 10 tables
were in play at the Cranbrook Hall
euchre party hosted by Sharon and
Gary Evans and Peggy and Murray
Keifer.
Scores were as follows: high
hands, Edna McLellan, Kenneth
Crawford; low hands, Brenda Perrie,
Hank Lawrence; most lone hands,
Helen Dobson, Emerson Mitchell;
travelling lone hand, Adrienne
Verstoep; tally cards, Helen and
Isabel Bremner; 50/50 draw, Elunid
McNair.
The next euchre will be held on
April 5 and the last card party of the
season will be held on April 19.
There was some discussion at the
March 15 party about holding
further card parties during the
summer but organizing is difficult to
arrange. Those wanting to continue
the euchre parties during the summer
1
will have to get involved. I shall
keep you posted.
Neighbours told me that robins
and red-wing blackbirds have been
seen at the feeders. I saw kildeer
when I walked the dogs on the road
to the south of Cranbrook.

Laurence Taylor
Laurence Taylor, a grower from the
Londesboro area was honoured at the
Innovative Farmers' Association
Conference. Taylor received the
second annual BASF Innovative
Farmer of the Year Award presented
the London Convention Centre.
The award, created by BASF in
association with the Innovative
Farmers' Association of Ontario
(IFAO), is intended to distinguish an
Ontario grower who has displayed
innovative cropping practices and
leadership not only within the
Ontario crop industry, but also within
the community they live.
"We at BASF are proud to sponsor
this award," says Peter Zwart, BASF
field biologist. "It is important that
the growers in surrounding
communities are recognized for their
innovative contributions to - the
agricultural industry and the
significant impact they have on
others' practices".
Taylor began a cash crop and beef
farming operation on a modest scale
in the late 1960s. The operation grew
rapidly to approximately 1,000 acres
of owned and rented land.
He has excelled in the production
of corn, soybeans, wheat, barley,
trefoil seed, and red clover seed.
The operation has been reduced in
recent years, but the principles
remain the same. His interest in
understanding nature led to a growing
concern about various agricultural
issues: excessive tillage, lack of soil
coverage and the resulting soil
degradation and erosion.
This concern sparked an interest in
no-till and the possibility of its
application on his farm. He began
experimenting initially with less
tillage, followed by a modified
mouldboard plough, and later created
a no-till drill for wheat and soybeans.
On his clay-loam soil, corn has
proven to be the most challenging to
no-till; however, by modifying a corn
planter and using a trans-till, corn
was also no-tilled.
Taylor continues to experiment
with various crops for winter -soil
clover due to his personal interest in
soil conservation and nutrient
recycling.
The Taylors' farm is a regular stop
for University of Guelph students
studying crop rotation, soil
conservation and no-till practices.
Taylor's knowledge and expertise
have led to guest lectures at the
annual IFAO conference, University
of Guelph, and Kemptville College in
the past.
"I am very positive about the
relationships that IFAO and other
associations have formed with the
agri-business community," says
Taylor. "The BASF Innovative
Farmer of the Year award illustrates
this relationship."
As winner of the BASF
Innovative Farmer of the Year award,
Taylor received a plaque, a cash
award of $1,000 and a one-year paid
membership to the IFAO.
