Is canola farm's winning ticket? BY MARK CRIPPS former Expositor Tauter Farming can sometimes bo like buying a lottery ticket - you pays your nickel and takes your chance, But if your cash crop choice this season was canola, you could say you had a winning ticket. Ooderich area farmer Achim Stoecker harvested 160 acres of canola this past summer, and couldn't be happier about the return, "There's been aood increase in the. demand for high quality oils • used for human consumption," said Stoecker. "And the price has remained very stable," If you bought vegetable o11 lately, it's very likely it was made from 100 per cent canola oil. Most major vegetable oils contain some level of canola. The oil extracted from the canola plant is conlii-der04 healthier than conventional vegetable ells. -_ The canola plant is member of the mustard family, and flowers yellow when in bloom. In Huron County, roughly 5,000 acres of canola was planted this Volunteer award established The Canada Volunteer Award was established by Health and Welfare Canada in 1977, said Paul Stecklo, M.P. for Huron - Bruce, to recognize and encourage those Canadians who have made outstanding voluntary contributions towards improving the health and social well-being of their fellow citizens, Throughout the years the Award has been presented to over 800 Canadians for their outstanding achievements and Steckle asks everyone to nominate worthy candidates from this area. The Canada Volunteer Award is one award with two levels. The Honour level consists of a medal, a lapel pin and a Certificate of Honour and is presented annually in Ottawa by the Minister of National Health and Welfare. The Merit level consists of a Certificate of Merit. The award ceremony is the responsibility of the sponsoring organization and the award may bo presented by a local official or the sponsoring organization, on behalf of the Minister in the recipient's community. Nominations must be received no later than December 15, 1994 at the Canada Volunteer Award Secretariat Health and Welfare Canada, Communications Branch, Public Relations Division, Tunne 's Pasture, Ottawa, Ontario K 1 A OK9 or call 1-613-957-2977. "Recipients of this award represent only a small percentage of the dedicated men and women who volunteer their services for the benefit of their fellow Canadians", said Steckle. "There are many people in Huron -Bruce who deserve such recognition and I urge citizens to nominate these individuals without delay." year. Manitoba is the largest pro- ducer of canola in Canada. Stoecker, a native of Germany, has boon growingcanola since arriving in Huron ounty 10 years ago. Ho said the decision to grow the crop was based on his experience with growing it in his native coun- 'I like it because it is excellent for crop rotation," said Stoecker, "It suits our program, "It is also very deep rooting, so it conditions the soil very nicely. It loosens it right up." But not of land is conducive for the canola plant. "It will only grow in certain areas," said Stoecker. "It thrives in cool, moist conditions." Growing canola has been a good bet for Stoecker during the past 10 years.' We've been lucky," he said. "Out of the last 10 years, there was only two years when we had to plow -the crop under in the spring, "I say, that s not too bad:" On international markets, the out look for canola is much brighter than its direct competition, namely soybean. Stoecker said the doesn't know why canola has gained so well on the market, and that the future could Just be speculation. But this year, on 160 acres of canola, Stoecker was averaging roughly 53 bushole/por acro. That Wingate' to roughly 1.3 tonnes for each acre. When ho sold tho crop, Stoecker said ho was receiving anywhere from 5320 to 5350 per tonna, The gross revenue for ono acre of canola was roughly $400. Stoecker said canola farmers can pre -sell their 1995 crop from around 5320, The input costs for canola and soybean are roughly the same, said Stoecker, who also grows soybean, wheat and corn. Canola requires more nitrogen fertilizer than soybean, but the trade off is less herbicide. The current market price for a tonne of soybeans is around $230 to 5240, mainly due to a large crop in the United States...... But Stoecker said canola 1s not as easy to grow as soybean, and added that it needs a six-year rotational cycle to be successful, The plant is also susceptible to white mould.
