A
.SEAFORTH - Huron fanners at-
' tending Friday's Huron Soil add
Crop Association. Farm Update
meeting were, fold' the outlook for
soybeans is positive..
This prediction was made by
Brian Doidge of Ridgetown Agri-
cultural College. He said, "World
stocks are down and there is a tre-
mendous demand for vegetables oil
in 'China. That country uses 60,000-
metric tonnes of soybean oil per
month": , -
He continued. " The U.S.D.A. -
-says the amounts of soybeans and
corn available are the, lowest since
1966 and feed usage is growing in
the United States." -
On the prices of soybeans.
Doidge said, " A couple of times
late in 1996, the market 'collapsed
after reacting to actions by Green-
span and an oil situation in Iraq.
Prices are dictated by people who
don't know anything about soy-
beans." - _ s : •
In southwestern. Ontario; Doidge
expects many farmers will rip up
their wheat crops due •to winter
damage and plant soybeans. They
cost less than corn. •
He also.said, there would be a
Denfield market

Hensall
church news
By LLT, Sangster
, Hensall correspondent
.HENSALL - Rev Robert Peebles
was the guest minister. His mes-
sage was "The Bible". Doug Klopp
directed the choir in singing The
Lord's Prayer. .
The Annual Meeting, chaired by
Rev. Ed Laksmanis of Crediton and
Brent Caslick of Centralia, was
held after the church service along
with a pot luck lunch.
Communion will be celebrated
February 9 and a special offering
will be taken for Local Community
Outreach. •
The Friendship Circle will meet
February 3 at 1:30. p.m., the After-
noon Ladies February 6 at 2 p.m.
and the PCW of Carmel Presbyteri-
an Church February 3 at 8 p.m.
me can. Stocks are down in
Ohio. There have been big losses in
Ohio. . Michigan and Wisconsin.
• This leaves the market open to us.
The U.S. market wants Canadian
corn. Feed usage in the United
States is the third highest in history.
About poultry, -Doidge said,
"There is also an increased demand
for broilers driven by exports.
Western feed barley is coming east
this year. Livestock feeders like
this, but grain pnxiuccrs don't."
Dr. Robert Shepherd of Seaforth
spoke about coping with today's so-
cietal pressures. . • .
He said there is a big difference
between stress problems in urban
areas and those confronting farm-
ers.
Shepherd said, "In- the cities
stress problems include depression,
,mood swings and family problems
while fanners have much more sub-
tle •symptoms to -deal with such as
getting tired very easily followed
by increased fatigue -from working
very long hours.- ,
He continued,"For fanners with'
these symptoms motivation ides
-down, they get sick easier. become
testy and irritable. Injury .rates go
up as mistakes can he costly."
The answers to these problems is
to sleep when you need to. Pro*cr
sleep is very important and it takes
a lot of give and take to relieve
-marital stress. . • '
.Shepherd continued, " Learn to
•recognize thesymptom's of stress.
Catch the problem before it starts -if
possible. ' Most people self -
medicate. They say they don't need
pills, but smoke and drink as substi-
tutes. Increased input of these is a
good -sign of stress. Cut dow on
drinking coffee.. It's a stimulant you
don't need. In early stages use your
spouse as a consultant and some.
body to talk your problems over
with."
Karen Renner from Michigan
State University talked about weed
control options in soybeans and ed-
ible beans. She compared various
herbicides in a number of situa-
tions.
Renner said, " Ni) crops .are re-
sistant to weeds, but good cultiva-
tion and tillage practices are helpful
in managing weeds.
Also speaking were Rob Temple-
man on producing specialty beans;
Albert Tcnuta updating insects and
diseases and Bob Misner choosing
fires to: manage soil compaction.
