Area apple orchards report on season's harvest
By Elyse DeBruyn
Citizen staff
Harvest time has come for area
apple orchards with somewhat
mixed reviews.
Dave Griffiths of Blake's Apple
Orchard near Brussels, said his crop
this year is lighter than the last due
to the smaller yield.
"It's an average crop this year,"
said Griffiths. "Last year we had a
heavy crop, but this year is lighter
from a smaller yield."
Although Griffiths' crop might be
a little smaller than previous years,
he says he has no complaints since
the fruit size is larger this season.
"The rain helped to make the fruit
size bigger. We're quite pleased with
them."
Hazel Bailey of Blythe Brooke
Orchards reports a "fairly good crop
this year."
"The apples are a good size and
colour. There is quite a few on every
tree."
Unlike Griffiths who said he
welcomed the rain, Bailey said the
rain had "nothing to do with the
size" of this season's crop.
"Last year we had irrigation that
keeps the sap going while other
orchards had a bit of a drought. We
didn't need as much rain this year,"
said Bailey.
Griffiths said at Blake's, they are
harvesting and selling Macintosh
apples now.
"At this orchard, Macintosh
apples are the first variety we
harvest, but when one ends, we
begin picking the others," he said.
Bailey said they just finished three
weeks of picking Jersey Macintosh
and have started picking Red
Cortlands as well as two different
types of pears.
The Sept. 10 announcement of a
$488 million federal government
compensation program clearly
indicates that the government
recognizes both the severity of the
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
(BSE) crisis and the important role
that the beef industry plays in the
Canadian economy.
Ron Wooddisse, president of the
21,000 member Ontario Cattlemen's
Association (OCA), was pleased with
Agriculture and Agri Food Minister
Andy Mitchell's announcement.
Wooddisse noted that the amount of
the funding - and the structure of the
programs announced - reflects
significant input from the Canadian
Cattlemen's Association (CCA) and
beef producers from all provinces.
CCA's board of directors, of which
Wooddisse is a member, approved a
strategic plan last month that
contained many components of the
recently-announced program. That
plan can be viewed on CCA's website
at www.cattle.ca.
Said Wooddisse, "We're pleased
that they took so much direction from
us in developing programs that will
sustain, and hopefully improve our
crippled industry."
While the re-opening of the United
States border to live cattle continues
to be a priority of industry and
government alike, the new programs
are designed to enhance profitability
for the Canadian beef industry with or
without a border opening.
Friday's announcement will help to
increase Canadian processing
capacity which is much needed.
Matching the supply of cattle to the
available capacity was a key
component of the CCA proposal.
Two set aside programs, one for
market-ready cattle and one for
younger cattle, will give producers the
option of retaining their animals for
the short term - and selling them
when prices may be stronger. This
should hopefully enhance financial
returns to producers.
Finally, the funding will help to
improve Canadian beef tracking, trace
back and BSE surveillance systems -
enhancements that can only help to
regain the confidence of foreign
markets.
On Sept. 10 at approximately noon
OPP were called to a residence on
Amberley Road in North Huron over
a break-in.
Sometime overnight a person
entered an unlocked shed at the rear
of the property in a bush area. Once
inside two chainsaws and an outboard
motor were stolen. The items were
two red/black Johnson Red model
920 and 2083 chainsaws and a grey
Nissan 15 HP outboard motor valued
at $4,800.
If you have information on this
theft of property contact the local
OPP office in Wingham or Crime
Stoppers.

Ontario beef farmers grateful for federal announcement
exports from Ontario to thet.S.A., in
2002 (the last normal year of trade)
were valued at $354 million in live
cattle and an additional $292 million
in beef product.
While only the federal government
has announced funding, to date,
Ontario's Minister of Agriculture and
Food, Steve Peters, and his staff, have
been in discussions with OCA on
provincial participation in a cost-share
arrangement similar to the one that
has already been announced in
Alberta. Said Wooddisse, "We expect
and anticipate an Ontario funding
announcement in the near future."
Prior to BSE, beef was 'Ontario's
second largest commodity in terms of
annual farm gate receipts with a value
of approximately $1.2 billion. Beef
