It seems that little time has passed since spring planting, yet most wheat has been harvested and the harvest of the other cereal crops is just around the corner. How well have you prepared for the busy harvest period ahead? Hopefully, by now equip- ment will have been put in top operating condition with all protective devices In place. Your most important assets in the season are the people who work with you. A seasoned combine operator, a family member or a novice employee - everyone in the harvest crew should be fully aware of their obligations and responsibilities in the days ahead. A sit-down meeting with family members and employees before the start of the harvest would be very much to the point. Start by outlining the sequence of crops and fields to be harvested. Explain how each crop is to be handled in terms of transfer to on-farm storage or local elevator. People develop a greater in- terest in their work when they have some understan- ding of the total process. Thorough briefing of new employees on the safe, ef- ficient use of equipment 1s essential. This would also be a good time to review safe operating procedures with more seasoned help. Each individual should be made responsible for daily maintenance (lubrication etc.) of the machine(s) they will be running. Owner's Accidents increase Ontario farm injuries in- creased significantly in 1980; over the previous year's in- juries according to recently released statistics from the Farm Safety Association. The annual statistics sur- vey, which includes ap- proximately 24,000 farm workplaces recorded 2,650 lost -time injureis in 1980, a 15 percent increase over 1979. The 1980 injury total represents an all time high for agricultural injuries in Ontario. The previous high figure was established in 1968, when 2,398 injuries were recorded. There appears to be no explanation for the big increase in injuries, other than a larger number of farm labourers required to handle the increse in agricultural production in 1980. The number of agricultural fatalities also increased in 1980, to 50; there were 45 farm fatalities recorded in 1979. Tractors and other types of farm equipment were involved with the majority of these d ea t hs. manuals should be with all pieces of equipment. En- courage operators to use the manuals to familiarize themselves with machin and to be able to deal wiTh minor problems before they lead to a costly breakdown. Does everyone know what to do in the event of an ac- cident? Is there someone in the family or on staff who has a basic knowledge of first aid procedures? Are fire ex- tinguishers and first aid materials located for quick access? Now is the time to ask yourself these questions, and take necessary action to correct the "no" answers. Time -spent planning harvest time and training employees will reduce the down time during this crucial period. It will also set the odds against a major accident. No subsidies for feeding iiranary weevil!! Are you doing an adequate job of storing your grain, or are you fattening up grain in- sects? It's hard enough to protect your growing crop from insects, so make sure your storage losses are minimized. Granary insects cause• damage by lowering seed weight, reducing food value, lowering seed germination, contributing to heating and spoilage, contamination, and reduction in market value. Sanitation is the most im- portant management prac- tice. Store grain in clean bins. Thoroughly clean out the bin, and never add new grain on the top of old grain. Grain storage bins should be separate from feed storage and livestock housing. This is to reduce migration of in- sects, and prevent heating of the grain by outside sources. Maintain storage facilities in grain tight conditions. Before adding new grain to clean bins, malathion in- secticide can be sprayed on floor and walls to kill insects that remain in or migrate to empty bins. You should spray at least two weeks prior to storage for best con- trol. The grain itself can make a difference. Storing clean, dry and cool grain (11% moisture) inhibits in- sect activity. If granary insects do become problems in your stored grain, control measures are available. Insects are inactive at temperatures below 40 degrees F. In winter, mov- ing the grain, perhaps several times, can lower the grain temperature to safe levels. Properly applied fumigants to stored grain may also give satisfactory control, but for best results, clean out the grain bin thoroughly prior to storage of new grain. There's no market for fat granary weevils - so don't feed them. John Heard, Assistant Agricultural Representative. MENSAL!.
