APHIN and forward pricing
discussed at producers meeting
HENSALL. - Nearly 20 farmers
gathered at Hensall Public School
last Wednesday to hear r about the
latest developments in the pork in-
dustry. Organized by the Huron
County Pork Producers Associa-
tion, the evening included speakers
well -versed. in risk management, in-
formation technology and the -en-
vironment.
Leeanne Peckitt represented St.
Josephs Shores residents preparing
a newsletter to send to 14,000 cot -
lagers from Ipperwash to Goderich
along Lake Huron. The publication
will present information on Lake
Huron .water quality concerns par-
ticularly e. coli bacteria.
.Peckitt said the newsletters will
be circulated in mid-July and .an=
ticipates a public meeting later in
the month.
"Sixty-five per cent of the tax
base is along the Iakeshore,"
claimed Peckitt, adding the final
goal of the group is clean water. ,
According to Jody Durand of the
HCPPA, in 1996 the St. Josephs
group leveraged' $5,000 from Ag- '
riculture Canada to test water at
seven sites along the Pergel Drain
that flows from the Zurich area to
St. Josephs. While e. coli levels
were high on several occasions,
Durand does not believe hog farm-
ers are necessarily to blame.
"The problem is not going away,_
it's getting worse. But I disagree
that farmers are ,the bulk of the
problem," said Durand, adding, he
just wants to get to the source of
the problem.
Although the newsletter will not
contain any information from the
Pork Producers, they will have an
opportunity to review the draft.
' Mary Lou McLeod of Ontario
Pork .presented information on the
new 'Futures' program, risk man-
agement tools and board programs.
According to ,McLeod, a . 'ForL
ward Pricing Contract' is a firm
agreement between the producer
and Ontario Pork for delivery/
receipt of an, agreed number' of
hogs •in' a specific' month to be
priced at a contract, price. A. basis
adjustment is applied on the date of
delivery.
Producers • must 'sign a•master
agreement to get into the program.
They can obtain. ttie day's `prices
from Ontario Pork's homepage; the
DTN, by fax broadcast and by con-
tacting Ontario Pork. Once they've
decided on a -contract; the producer
makes the arrangements with On-
tario Pork.
McCleod also discussed Ontario
Pork's environmental initiatives.
• "Hog producers want to maintain
environmentally -sound - • produc-
tion," said McLeod. -
Ontario Pork is developing a re-
source database on nutrient man-
agement
anagement and odor control.
"The resource database can help
municipalities develop bylaws that
provide an opportunity ,for the in-
dustry and environmentally -sound
practices." said McCleod.
McCleod expects the database to
be completed in Sixmonths.
Cheryl McLaughlin explained the
latest graphic results from the new
Animal Productivity and Health In-
formation Network (APHIN). It's a
computer-based information net-
work serving livestock industries in
Canada including Ontario pork pro-
- ducers,
' According to -McLaughlin,
APHIN's mandate is "to assist -the
livestock industries through the
provision of accurate and timely
animal health and productivity in-
. formation derived from the pro-

While the primary objective of
the network is- to provide an in-
formation service to producers and
veterinarians, it also provides • the
infrastructure to . support clinical

.In livestock farms. With the data
combined into one database, much
