Cow burn of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, President of Ducks Unlimited (DU ) Canada, announced at the organization's annual meeting that the private, nun -profit waterfowl con- servation group's 1983 plans include development of 300 projects representing more than 40,000 acres of new waterfowl habitat in Canada. Highlight of the large marsh developments will be the completion of the final phase of DU Ca,iada's in- volvement at the Hullett Wildlife Management Complex, just north of Clinton. i It's particularly satisfyang to announce in these times of economic concern that the organization can confidently enter its 45th year with undiminished strength, enthusiasm and optimism," said Cowburn. He predicts a year of continued vigorous activity by DU biological, engineering and ad- ministrative support groups across the nation. In 1982, DU carried out work on 346 individual projects representing 37,219 new acres of habitat and in negotiations with govern- ments and private lan- downers brought almost 600,000 acres of wetland under reservation for future Cattlemen Bill Coleman, president of Huron Cattlemen's Associa- tion and 14 directors attend- ed the Ontario Cattlemen's Association annual meeting in Toronto February 23 and 24. Each year, county direc- tors have the opportunity to present resolutions at the an- nual meeting. These resolu- tions must have been passed at county annual meetings development. Equal emphasis w ill continue to be placed on both 'mall and large marshes in Ontano m 1 . Work wiii be initiated on 30 new projects and four projects started last year will be continued for a total of 2,111 acres of new habitat to be developed. Small marsh develop- ments in various locations around the province K i.' account for 1,500 acres of the program. On the Beaverton River system, east of Lake Simcoe and north of Toronto, construction of islands and level ditching to be ac- complished using a floating marsh -cutting machine called a "cookie cutter" will secure an additional 350 rge feder prior to presentation at the O.C.A. meeting. Some resolutions highlighting the meeting were as follows: 1) Resolution passed ask- ing the Federal Government to change laws so that the ownership of cattle would change when payment was received. 2) Huron County presented a rPcnitltlnn adrjno (1 (' A to r acres of new =hi d:t. The machine will also be used on a number of other projects during the year. The recent establishment off a DU area office in Peterborough has provided complete coverage of the prime waterfowl habitat in southern Ontario. With habitat development programs in the south now in full swing, investigations are underway to determine the feasibility of expanding the scope of Ontario operations into the fertile Clay Belt region farther north. Cowburn cited the 1982 signing of the historic "Wetlands for Tomorrow" agreement with the Province of Alberta, as a prime llawcha develop a system of iden- tification from the live animal to carcass ( i.e. D re- tain identification during the transition. This was passed with support from all segments of the industry. 3) Resolution passed re- questing the Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food to hold a plebiscite rn king check off com- pulsory. How to do it Farin financial analysis It seems everyone today is talking about financial management, and rightly so if you are to see if you have made any progress over the year. Simple financial manage- ment advice, such as "how- to" keep a good set of records, requires your decision-making and your action to be of any use. To evaluate your results re- quires benchmarks to com- pare to. How can this be done'.' First, by breaking down your financial income and expenses into categories that tell you something and i tin, by u:,ing a standard, r such as one cow, one sow, one acre, etc., to allow you to compare cost of production with other operations that are not the same as yours. You will ask yourself, "Did I make enough to allow me to cover my debt, overhead, and related costs, and still show a profit?" We have available a com- puter program which will help you answer your ques- tion. This program will break down your farm operations so, that you can do a better job of analyzing your farm by comparing the results with an analysis of the county -provincial rd World help Gordon Hunsberger, a retired farmer and Third World Educator with the Mennonite Central Com- mittee from St. Jacobs will be the guest speaker at the March 23 meeting off the ('entral Huron Christian Farriers Association in Clinton. In his talk Mr. Hunsberger will ask, Can an Ontario fanner help the world's hungry'.' The discussion will include a comparison of agriculture in the Third World and North America. Is North American agricultural practice as responsible and tit(`+{ardly as practices in the Third World'' i)o we have an impact On Third World agriculture'.'

In 1982, Ontario Cattlemen voted at the O.C.A. annual to advertise beef on a national scale. A budget of $950,000 was set as Ontario's share. Since check off is not com- pulsory, some producers have asked for refunds of their check off. These refunds to producers have risen drastically since an- nual meeting time in February, 1982. This has put the O.C.A. in a difficult situa- tion. Producers agreed to a check off for advertising and some have claimed it back, thus depleting the fund. Since other meat producing organizations started adver- tising, beef consumption has dropped from 107 pounds to 91 pounds per capi . Based on $100 of product sold comparative check off fees are: eggs - 7.87 of which 2.10 goes for advertising; example of DU's long- standing involvement in cooperative conservation efforts. Th.::t agreement underlines the excellent relationshi. the company enjoys with governments, corporations and private landowners who make land available for conservation developments. The "Wetlands for Tomorrow'' agreement involves more than acres of wetland to be provided by Alberta and a DU investment of more than $50 million in years to come. Long-term habitat development agreements have also been entered into with the provincial ago er- nments of Saskatcheyian, ges 1:1 milk - 1.45 of which 1.40 goes for advertising; pork - .80 of which .47 goes for advertis- ing; chicken - .52 of which .36 goes for advertising; and beef -.20 of which .l2 goes for advertising. It costs the beef producer 2 cents in advertising for every pound of beef sold retail. O.C.A. and the Beef Infor- mation Centre have a 1983 advertising schedule. They will be participating in t.v., radio, magazine, poster and daily paper advertising. Displays at Canadian Na- tional Exhibition, Royal Winter Fair, schools and public gatherings will also be part of their overall advertising campaign. As consumers, we would be pleased if you kept an eye and ear open for the beef ads. We think you'll ejoy them.

Cowburn congratulated Canadian contributors and committee volunteers on eir job of raising in excess of $1.2 million at fund-raising events across Canada in 1982. He also thanked Ducks Unlimited, Inc. directors, staff and contributors in the U.S.A. for their continuing support of Canadian habitat development objectives. During 1982, establishment in Canada of 31 new fund- raising committees brought the total to 61, and the number of Canadian con- tributors increased by 56 percent to a total of 19,511. Combined income from renewal donations and 81 individual events held over the year reached a ural of $1,224,114, an increase of 52.4 percent over the previous year. Last year's tot buocet of $27.2+6 million, primarily money donated by U.S. sportsmen for habitat development programs, was the highest ever and resulted in the addition of 37,219 new acres and 584.7 shoreline - miles to DU Canada's wetlands inventory. In ad- dition, the company was able to secure almost 600,000 more acres of new land for future development. With its head office located in Winnipeg, DU Canada operates six provincial of- fices in Canadian centres from B.C. to Quebec, and ar Atlantic Canada office it Amherst, Nova Scotia Twenty-four local area of fices are also situate( throughout the nation.
