Present farm dealer owners in business for 27 years Many things change con- siderably in a period of 50 years, but, not for the only farm machinery dealership in Hensall. Established in the • early 1930's by Howard and Jack Hyde, the Hyde Brothers dealership is still in existence with the original line of Allis Chalmers equipment. The present building which houses the farm dealership has seen a number of addi- tions and a few lines have been added and the owners have changed but not the ex- cellence of service. Operating the business for the past 27 yeats have been Jim Hyde and Bob Caldwell and the firm has grown con- siderably with employees now ranging in number from eight to 14 depending on the time of year. In addition to Allis Chalmers the Hensall dealer- ships now also handles full lines of Versatile farm equip- ment, Kinze planters and the Hinicker brand of no -till and ridge tilling equipment. Allis Chalmers and Ver- satile have each come out recently with new series of tractors. According to Bob Caldwell, Versatile is number one in four wheel drive tractors ranging in horsepower from 60 to 470. The Versatile trac- tors and combines are now computerized with mopitor4 ing systems. The combines are able to monitor grain loss and temperatures. Kinze planters are available for corn, soybeans and white beans in four row to 24 row models with spacings from 10 inches to 38 inches. The Hinicker brand of ridge tilling machinery lends to a new concept in cultivation and planting. Caldwell said his firm has been closely in- volved with the Huron Soil and Crop Improvement Association with their ideas on no -till and ridge till with several hundreds of acres ready for use this spring. The counties of Essex and Kent are more advanced in this typo of project with more than 1,000 acres involved. Caldwell continued, "This method has tremendous possibilities down the road. Fall plowing is completely eliminated. All that is necessary is planting and harvesting". He added, "Ridge tilling allows for better drainage and less compaction. Our ex- periments have shown crop production or yields are similar to existing methods and costs are much lower. We find savings could be as high as $30 per acre." "If this method of cultiva- tion proves successful and I think it will, we will certain- ly cut our costs. It's a most exciting aspect for farming in the future," Caldwell added. On the subject of- farm machinery generally, Bob Caldwell said, "Farm equip- ment now available is the best we have ever had in the 27 years Jim and I have been in business regardless of who the manufacturer is." HYDE BROTHERS CO-OWNERS JIM HYDE AND BOB CALDWELL ARE SHOWN WITH ONE OF THE NEW VERSATILE TRACTORS. A methanol experiment A joint government - industry project to demonstrate the use of methanol as a transportation fuel will receive a contribu- tion of $103,312 through the Canada/Ontario Conserva- tion and Renewable Energy Demonstration Agreement (CREDA), Ministers for the Governments of Canada and Ontario announced this week. Jean Chretien, Canada's Minister of Energy; Philip Andrewes, Ontario's Minister of Energy; and James Snow, Minister of Transportation and Communications for the province, announced support for the project, which will cost a total of $224,000 and involve a fleet of 16 cars. The demonstration project in- volves Ford Canada and Shell Canada Limited. The 16 factory -modified Ford Escort sedans will run on a methanol fuel formula- tion developed by Shell Canada Limited. Methanol is an excellent clean -burning automotive fuel produced on a large scale in Western Canada from natural gas. It has the potential to be produc- ed from indigenous Ontario feedstocks, such as lignite and peat, and from renewable resources, such as wood. "Methanol is widely believ- ed to be a viable alternative to gasoline in Canada," Chre- tien said. "Major efforts are underway in California and Europe to demonstrate and commercialize methanol in transportation. In Canada, in- terest is kindled by the need for long-term energy security". The demonstration fleet will be divided between Ford Canada and Shell Canada Limited for a year and will be tested in their day-to-day operations. Engine and oil analyses will be made on a regular basis and detailed fuel consumption measurements will be taken during the testing period. "I am very pleased by this co-operative venture. It is on- ly through the active par- ticipation of industry and government together that we find Canadian alternatives to imported oil" , Andrewes said. Snow said, "About half of Ontario's crude oil consump- tion is in the transportation sector. Therefore, it is par- ticularly important that we develop transportation fuels based on other Canadian resources. Methanol holds considerable promise in this respect.
