It may have surprised some people to see so many agencies represented on the panel at the Clinton Legion Hall. Rural newspapers and magazines carried many articles this winter on Bill 163 that passed into law on March 28, 1995. The Bill amended existing legislation that established the planning system. A compre- hensive set of policy statements were also released, and administra- tive improvements to the land use planning system were announced. The six policy statements are very important because all plan- ning decisions "shall be consistent with the policy statements," whether made by the council of a municipality, a local board, a plan- ning board, the Minister and the Ontario Municipal Board. The comprehensive set of policy statements is available in a 38 page book from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Communica- tions Branch, 17th Floor, 777 Bay Street, Toronto On. M5G 2E5. The statements cover the following: A - Natural Heritage, Environmental Protection and Hazard Policies; B - Economic, Community Develop- ment, aid Infrastructure Policies; C - Housing Policies; D - Agricultu- ral Land Policies; E - Conservation Policies; F - Mineral Aggregate, Mineral and Petroleum Resources Policies. The Province is more clearly fo- cusing on protecting its best agri- cultural lands by narrowing its in- terests to speciality crop lands and classes 1-3 soils. Municipalities will now be able to consider a broader range of factors when de- fining which agricultural lands to protect. Farmers will now be af- forded the opportunity to enhance their incomes through value-added farm uses and small scale employ- ment businesses on their farms, which are 'secondary to the farm operation. Certain specified types of severances will continue to be allowed in agricultural areas. These severances are intended to meet the needs of today's farmers, including those for surplus farm residences and retiring farmer severances. Non-agricultural development will be encouraged to locate in nearby Denfield livestock sales DENFIELD - The market here at Denfield showed some improvement with the fed cattle selling 1.00-2.00 CWT. higher and the fancy cattle selling strong.

Farmers will be provided with greater protection from urban expansions and land use conflicts which may affect their livelihoods. Policies for urban ex- pansion onto farmland are clearer and more restrictive, so as to limit the loss of farmland to urban sprawl. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has re- leased three new publications called Guide to Agricultural Land Use, Minimum Distance Separa- tion 1, and Minimum Distance Sep- aration I1. These booklets replace the Agricultural Code of Practice and the Food Land Guidelines ap- proved in 1978. The MDS formula 1 provides distance separation re- quirements between existing farm and new non-farm uses. The MDS forthula 2 provides minimum dis- tance separation requirements for livestock facilities within agricultu- ral areas. These publications are available at the Clinton OMAFRA Field Office. Correction Last week the Times Advocate entered a Letter to the Editor from Jody Durand incorrectly. The letter "Towing the Party Line" should have read, "A swift removal from his position on the standing com- mittee for agriculture. An act that speaks volumes on just how much agriculture means to this govern- ment." We apologize for the error. Brussels Livestock Division of Gamble & Rogers Ltd.

"The majority of our acres have problem weeds such as triazine-resistants, Iamb's quarters. pigweed and (oxtail. One pass through the field with PURSUIT. and those problems are gone." Neil farms with his wife, Donna, on 2200 acres in Huron County. To spread the work Toad, they use PURSUIT both preplant incorporated and post emergent."We choose to use PURSUIT in PPI to spread the work, and post -emergent so that we get the benefit of a contact spray" They recently switched to PURSUIT from a program of split application of preplant incorporated and a "WE SPRAY PURSUIT PPI ANDPOSTTO PREAD OUR WORK? follow-up pre -emergent spray. "We wanted a more dependable program. one which would get us great weed control with one pass through the field. That one -pass confidence is why I will continue to use and recommend PURSUIT." Top soybean growers like Neil Hemingway rely on PURSUIT for the peace of mind that comes from knowing that PURSUIT will control their grass and broadleaf weeds - including velveticaf, nightshade and triazine-resistants - under any kind of growing conditions.
