(Photo submitted) Taylor named innovative farmer If you would like to donate items for the Auction on April 6th you may do so at this time. 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.
