Mason, M:D., Surgeon's Log (Christopher I Grants available for grain dryer controls A grant for automatic con- trols on commercial grain dryers was announced Oc- tober 25. This is a joint pro- gram of Energy Ontario and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. This is a one third grant on the in- stallation and capital cost to a maximum of $30,000 per dryer. With this type of equip- ment, energy cost can be cut by 10%. On-farm dryers do not qualify unless the owner is registered under the Ontario Grain Financial Protection Program. Farmers who dry their own, or do custom dry- ing, do not qualify. Corn or soybeans would have to be purchased by the elevator operator to qualify. The em- phasis on this program has been placed on commercial dryers, as they dry more than 70 percent of the grain corn in Ontario. Grants are retroactive to operations which have com- pleted projects since April 1, 1984. Project proposal forms are available from the On- tario Grain and Feed Dealers Association (622-3800 in Cam- bridge), Ministry of Energy (Zenith 80420 in Toronto) or the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food office, Clinton (482-3428 or 1-800-265-7044). Brian Hall Farm Management Specialist for Huron County Winter crop production meetings A series of crop production meetings for producers this winter have been planned. The first to be held is the An- nual White Bean Growers' Meeting. At these meetings there will be a summary presented of how the solid seeded direct harvested white beans did this year. These meetings also feature an overview of some of the white bean research from 1984. Meeting dates are November 30 at the Brodhagen cpmmunity Cen- tre; December 5 at the Stanley Township Complex at Varna; December 6 at War- wick Township Hall; December 7 at Masonic Hall, llderton. All meetings start at 10:30 a.m. The white bean crop from 1984 was financially satisfying to most growers. Charles Broadwell, manager of the White Bean Producers' Marketing Board, says that the average yield for 1984 will be around 1300 lbs./acre. The 1983 crop sold for over $28. per hundredweight. If the 1984 crop sells for a similar price, this would bring an average gross return of $364.00 per acre. This return came from inputs that are only slightly more than soybeans and spring grain. Two other crop meetings will deal with Soybeans and Alfalfa. The soybean produc- tion meeting will be held at Seaforth on March 1st. There will also be an alfalfa production meeting at At- wood on January 10. You must preregister for these meetings at the O.M.A.F. of- fice in Stratford (1-800-265-8502) or Clinton (482-3428 or 1-800-265-7044). The cost for the alfalfa pro- duction meeting will be 110.00. This fee is to cover meals and hall rental.
