Tony Mennen who celebrated his 26th birthday on April 23 is renting 125 acres from his mother. The farm is located on the east side of Highway 21 about four miles south of Grand Bend. It is the secondyearfor his own farming operation since the death of his father, the late Peter Mennen. Six acres of onions were planted the day before Mennen clebrated his birth. day. Ile says this is about a week earlier than normal. An additional 25 acres of onions will be planted along with four acres of early potatoes this week and another 50 acres through mid to the end of May. The first potatoes are ex- pected to be harvested about August 15. While most of the potatoes which are of the Superior, Katadin and Sebago varieties are sold wholesale quite a number of sales are made at the Mermen door. Tony Mennen commented "We sell only in 75 pound lots to our small customers. -It's not worth the time in bagging in smaller qun•atities A lot of our wholesale sales are in bulk. This saves a lot in labour." Very few onions are sold to individuals. Mennen add- ed, "People don't like to get onions in large quantities. They don't use as many as they do potatoes." While Mennen has a good quantity of the 1980 potato crop still in his storage sheds, the last of the onions were sold last week. When this year's onions crop is completed Mennen expects one storage barn of 40 by 100 feet capacity filled to the roof. Talking 'about potato prices. Mennen said, "We haven't had good prices since 1974 There are a lot of potatoes coming in from Prince Edward Island and that's what keeps our prices down. Ontario produces only 40 percent of what the province uses. Onion prices were as high as $9 per bag last fall. They dropped as low as $6, but• levelled back to the $7.50 - $8 range. The potato seed is treated with insecticides before planting so spraying is usual- ly limited to mid-August for blight and insects. The spraying of the onion crop is a different story ac- cording to Mennen. Ile said, "Spraying onions is a con- tinuing thing. The maggot flies eat like crazy. They • peak three times a year for two weeks and we are forced to spray every four days." Mennen is a valuable member of the Grand fiend Colonials soccer team. After winning the Ausable league championship two years in succession. the Colonials have moved up to the third division of the London and district soccer league.
