Farm waste management program
EXETER - The Ausable-Bayfield Con-
servation Authority (ABCA) in co-operation
with the Ontario Ministries of Environment
(MOE) and Agriculture and Food (OMAF )
are holding a Manure Management Seminar
in Exeter on Feb. 26.
The theme of the workshop is. "Farm
Waste Management: The Problem is How
You Perceive It." This theme was chosen
because manure doesn't have to be con-
sidered a problem -causing waste, but can
actually be a valuable fertilizer if managed
properly.
Dave Balint, Water Quality Technician
with the ABCA says, "The purpose of the
seminar is threefold. First we want to ex-
amine the problem of manure from dif-
ferent perspectives, secondly we want to
give to farmers who have a manure
management problem some ideas about
how to deal with it, and finally we want to
give the public the opportunity to comment
on exisiting policies, regulations and pro-
grams."
Guest speakers from the ABCA, MOE an.
OMAF will talk about their role in providin
assistance or regulating manure manage-
ment.
anagement. The speakers from these sponsoring
agencies will be joined by speakers
representing farmers and custom manure
applicators and dealers. Displays and
literature will also be on hand.
The seminar will be held in the Legion
Hall, 316 William Street, Exeter from 1 p.m.
to 4 p.m. There will be no charge and
everyone is welcome.
