Exeter Co-op growing,
take over UCO facility
In the past few months, the Exeter
and ,District Co -Operative has ex-
panded its facilities by purchasing the
former United Co -Operative plant at
Ailsa Craig.
Exeter manager Ed Rodenberg
says the same services will be
available at Ailsa Craig as at the Ex-
eter location.
Under the direction of manager Bill
Windsor, the Ailsa Craig operation
will soon include a fertilizer blender.
In addition to the regular store
lines, fertilizer is in storage and bagg-
ed feed and lumber is available.
Petroleum is being supplied from the
Exeter terminal.
Rodenberg says one of the
highlights for this coming crop season
is the addition of Co -Op Green Plan II.
This is a computerized program for
crop management, corn, forages,
cereal grains, beans.
The plan begins with soil analysis
and the development of a complete
cropping program that takes all crop
inputs into account. All the variables
of each individual farmer's plan, plus
records of its progress and results are
handled and stored by the Co -Op com-
puter. These records will provide
each farmer with accurate perfor-
mance evaluations, both during the
growing season and after harvest.
The plan calculates total fertility
needs, based on the demands of yield
goals and existing nutrients in the
field. A fertilizer program is then
developed that weighs all factors and
manure applications and legume
plowdown are considered.
Additional pre -plant fertilizer or
supplemental nitrogen are selected,
if required. The choice of the starter
fertilizer will also take the possible
need for micro and secondary
nutrients into account. The plan
records the placement and time of
fertilizer application along with all
other factors.
Rodenberg says the new plan
"allows us to give more precise fer-
tilizer recommendations and also do
our invoicing and formulating at the
fertilizer plant. This is something we
couldn't even dream about five years
ago."
The local manager said 1985 was a
profitable year for the Co -Op and 1986
appears to be right on target for con-
tinuation of a favourable financial
picture.
He added, "There is no doubt farm
incomes are down. We are fortunate
in the Exeter area to have a lot of
good quality and well established
farmers. They know what they are
doing."
The Co -Op lumber business in Ex-
eter has doubled in the past two years.
On this subject Rodenberg com-
mented, "There is a positive outlook
for residential building this year. It
looks like a strong housing market as
long as interest rates don't go any
higher. Prospects for new farm
buildings are non-existent at the
moment."
