Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1985-11-27, Page 21Page 4A-CI.INTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1985 South Maitland basin study be. ns The weather could be wanner and cer- tainly dryer. That's what local farmers and Peg Evans and Daniela Block have been saying for -three weeks now. Farmers can justify these complaints and since Peg and Daniela have started working for the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority on a soil movement study, they too have good reason to complain about the weather. Past studies in Hullett Township on soil erosion and water quality problems have shown that some farms have more of a pro- blem with soil erosion than others. It was this information that inspired the study on the South Maitland River and its tributaries in McKillop Township. Peg and Daniela have visited a number of individual landowners in McKillop to get in- formation for the study including: whey the laud is plowed, implements used, croptota- tions, windbreak• locations, manure storage and type of farming operation. What does this information tell the Authority and the landowner? If the study indicates a soil erosion or water quality problem on a farm, the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority will act as a catalyst to determine a source of funding or technical assistance to alleviate the problem. The°Ministries of En- . vironment, Agriculture and Food and Natural Resources all have grant structures in effect for various erosion and water quali- ty problems. So far the response from landowners to McKillop Township has been positive. All have asked to see the results of the study. These landowners are aware that their farm techniques can make a difference, a dif- ference in the quality of soil and water °resources. Revitalization. continues GODERICH - Dredging will be carried out at Goderich Harbor at the new ship loading clock currently under constructipn in the north side of the Domtar Salt Mine, an- nounced Murray Cardiff, M.P. for Huron - Bruce. The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Roch La Salle, Minister, Public Works Canada. The $1,592,000 contract for dredging was awarded by Public Works Canada on behalf Daws Transportof Constructors Ltd.,epLongueuo il, Quebec, who submitted the lowest of three invited quotations. Work will include the dredging of approx- imately 185,000 rn3 of Class 'B' material Managing. debts Production management is essential in order to maximize on milk yield, however dairy producers cnust also have a good understanding of debt management and repayment capacity 'as it applies. to -their level of production. A recent Huron County financial dairy study indicated that some producers, because of their strong equity position, didn't have to "push" their cows in order to have a good net farm income. Other farmers with higher debt loads must max- imize on milk production to rnake their operation viable, and in some cases are fin- • ding it a real challenge to survive.

Dredged material will be used as shore protection south of the harbor. Completion of the project will result in full seaway depth access to the dock. Plans and specifications were prepared by Public Works Canada and the project manager is T.E. Douglas, Public Works Canada, London. Work is scheduled for completion in 1 he winter of 1986. Net Farm Income $40,000 $20-25,000 Nil . Evaluation of your farm's financial per- •forinances is a useful tool 'that can help assess overall management. Danger signs, indicating; concern are:• • . 1. When interest exceeds $700/cow.. • 2. When total debt servicing exceeds 35 per- cent of milk cheque. '. 3. When total debt load exceeds $6,000/cow. 4. When operating loans exceed three times the size of the monthly milk cheque. • Production levels can influence the dollars available for repayment and living. Our study clearly pointed out that it • does pay to feed for.high production and•that returns from extra milk sales far exceed the extra cost of feed. All producers are en- couraged to make good use of a• sound feeding program, breeding program, milk recording prograin, and herd health pro= grans to ensure adequate production.. Remember it •takes milk flow to make a cash flow, however a dairy cow regardless of her production can only service so much debt Correction • In the November 6 issue of the News- ltecorcl, a story entitled Huron 4'a n1 cnrn- pete with Toronto beaches, it, was reported that Tracey Ryan had suggested •that a farmer nu)Ve a feedlot to the other side of the barn. In fact, she suggested a feed wagon heap ived, not a feedlot. • DRYSDALE MAJOR APPLIANCE CENTRE LTD.
