Jiifl•.a..tion'puts. squeeze on xxiany �ou�g farmers -Pullen BY SHARON DIETL Young farmers with heavy debt loads are continu- ing to experience financial difficulties as the cost - price squeeze intensifies, Huron Agricultural Representative Don Pullensays. "Many inputs have inflated by almost 20 percent over the last year," said Pullen, "and moreover, bank interest rates are close to 20 percent." "It's a real problem for those affected, to service the annual interest on massive bank operating loans," observed Pullen when he made his annual at report to Huron a County Council at their April meeting y. Pullen pointed out that in his 1972-73 report he had noted a 100 acre farm with ordinary buildings had sold for $50,000. Within the last two months, this same type of farm has'been selling for up to $250;000. Paradoxically, interest rates were 7 percent in 1972 compared to almost 20 percent now and prices for some farm products are now lower, remarked Pullen. Land rental is $40. to $125. per acre, depending on drainage, location in the county and the crop to be grown. There is a trend for young farmers to rent land, said Pullen. Bankeis are telling Pullen that some pork and beef farmers may be forced out of business and a look at the local newspapers show auction sales have cer- tainly increased compared to last year. Considerable time has and will continue to be directed toward the objective of helping pork pro-. ducers improve their farm management skills in an effort to maintain profitability, said Ppllen. Cost con- trol measures are being vigorously applied at every turn and the lid has been "hammered shut on most proposed expansions." The swine management section of the annual report shows numerous requests for advice through farm visits, offie,e and telephone contacts. "Efforts will continue to provide credit counselling assistance to pork producers during this period of economic instability," commented Pullen. There was one bright spot in the report: farmers show plenty of enthusiasm in the lamb production business as market lamb and breeding stock prices are very good. The Huron County Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) personnel have contributed con- siderable tine to piovide information about produc- tion economics and flock management, in an effort to contribute to the increased profitability of sheep operations in the county, said Pullen. The OMAF office has participated in several pro- vincial and regional educational sheep programs dur- ing the year, Pullen repo d several more new flocks have been enrolled on heep ROP program this spring. Last year turned out to be a' better than average crop year, Pullen told members of County Council. Early spring inquiries concerning the growing of oil seed crops, flax, rape and soybeans, were numerous as growers attempted to switch from a depressed cereal crop market. Fortunately white mold failed to develop and damage white beans in late July and August and white bean harvest was generally excellent. Grain corn was affected by stalk breakage with significant variety differences. As we enter the 1981 planting season, growers are making. inquiries about alternate cropssuch as kidney beans, said Pullen. White Kean growers are very optimistic following two good harvest years and buoyant prices and the soybean crop will likely re- main constant. As part of an on-going program, soil tests doubled compared with the previous fall. Farmers are con- cerned about rising costs and a soil test is the best way to maximize fertilizer returns, noted Pullen. "We will encourage crop farmers to soil test in mid- summer when work load permits, so that their soil test program is not dependent on the occurrence of suitable weather in the fall," he added. Weed and pest control is a sourer of a large. number n of inquiries, usually urgentnature, coimen Pullen. In this connection Pat Lynch of the Huron OMAF office has developed objectives on weed and pest control. Identification 'and counter staff training on weeds were conducted by Pat and agribusiness personnel with excellent attendance and participation. Problem weeds like Johnson grass, fall, panicum, prosomillet and triazine resistant weeds are of real concern, noted Pullen. In concluding his report, Pullen told county council the OMAF office will continue their objectives to pro- vide farm business management advice, including estate planning, farm transfers, tax implications, father, son working agreements and financial counselling. Dr. Lynch retires as County MOH BY SHARON DiETZ Dr. Harry Cieslar, M.D. of Goderich has been ap- pointed acting Medical Officer of Health for Huron County to replace Dr. Brian Lynch who has taken a position as Medical Officer of Health with the Sud- bury and District Health Unit. Dr. Cieslar will become assistant Medical Officer of Health effective May 19. Dr. Lynch's association with the Huron Health Unit will terminate May 31 and Dr. Cieslar will become acting Medical Officer of Health for a three month period beginning June 1, subject to the approval of the Ministry of Health. Dr. Giesler will be studying the Master of Health Science course at the University of Toronto to train for the position of Medical Officer of Health. Dr. Lynch has looked into the possibility of the Huron Health Unit being aligned with the University of Western Ontario Medical Faculty for Medical Officer of Health trainees. The Faculty of Medicine appears interested in the suggestion that Huron Health Unit be an ideal for Medical Officer of Health training which would allow Dr. Cieslar to do his MOH training with the Huron Health Unit. Dr. Lynch came to Canada from Ireland in 1972 and practiced with Dr. Cieslar and two other doctors at the Church Street Clinic. In 1977 Dr. Lynch was ap- pointed MOH for the county. He will begin his new position in Sudbury June 1. Hr. Cieslar left the clinic in 1977 for a four month stint with the flying doctor service in Australia and returned to Goderich in the spring of 1978 where he has hada mainly industrial practice with Dominion Roads. Council upset.... • from page 1 'They do their job the best way they know how and we can't do anything about it," he said. "What we can do is encourage the school board to save money and cut programs." John Doherty charged that the board was operating under a dictatorship and had openly told council members they would do as they liked. Deputy -reeve Bob Allen said that under Section 86 taxation within thetown of Goderich was fair. "Section 86 should be throughout the county but that is not easy to achieve," he said. "The unfairness doesn't relate to the school board." Councillor Glen Carey was distressed by what he had heard and suggested council do something to rectify the matter. "Number one, we should make regular representation before the hoard and second, we could lobby the province, group together and circulate a resolution to change the system of revenues," he said. "Soon more than half the taxes will go to education and if th,ere.is'-any other method we must . avail ourselves of it."
