Huron Plowmen hold banquet BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE BRUSSELS: Numerous trophies and lots of prize money was handed out at the Huron County Plowmen's banquet held here October 23. i Retiring Queen of the Fur- row, Debbie Armstrong of the Wingham area, told over 300 in attendance she had en- joyed her year as queen and mentioned many activities attended.

Miss Armstrong wished incoming queen Deb- bie Oldfield of Seaforth • best wishes for the year.

Attendance at h earing lower than expected Murray Gaunt, a member of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture task force holding hearings across the province on the economic crisis facing the farming industry, says attendance has been lower than first expected. The nature of the problem precludes some people from appearing; understandably, they don't want to talk publicly about going broke. Halfway through the hearings, one fact has been established beyond doubt. The red meat industry is in trouble. Beef farmers, young and old, are in desperate straits. The younger ones, starting up in the past five or so years, are in very serious trouble. Those who have been in business for a long lime, although not in debt nor paying high Interest charges, are not being forced to sell, but can see their equity going down. The dairy industry is also bleeding, but is somewhat protected by supply management. Because of' continually higher input costs and lower commodity prices, Gaunt senses a mood of frustration and anxiety, even "gloom and doom", . particularly among the younger men. "They are saying, "Look, there's no future. We've worked hard, managed well, and we're in danger of lasing everything' ", Gaunt said. "For these people, the foreseeable future looks worse. This is very alarming from our point of view." As a farmer himself, Gaunt can empathise with those appearing at the hearings. "I really bleed for soxge of these people. I know'°ho* they feel. It's a Selman tragedy", he said. "I"hale the task force will be able to make its point in a forceful way." After the hearings end, the members of the task force will prepare a list of specific recommendations con- cerning the present state of the farming industry and what should be done. The OFA will be given an ad- vance copy of the report by November 17, allowing them to study the task force's conclusions before the (FA annual meeting the following week, November 24. Speaking personally, Gaunt concluded, "It'sopt a bright picture in the short term. For the longer .term - 15 to 20 years ahead - the future is brighter. If we call get through this." Present letters in Ottawa M.P.'s Murray Cardiff (P.C., Huron -Bruce), Gary Gurbin (P.C., Bruce -Grey) and Perrin Beatty (P.C., Wellington-Duflerin- Simcoe) last Thursday presented 1,792 letters from farmers in their area protesting high interest rates and requesting assistance. The letters, which were addressed to Prime Minister Trudeau, were given to the M.P.'s for transmittal to the Prime Minister. However, when both Mr. Trudeau and Finance Minister Allen MacEachen . refused requests for a formal meeting with the three M.P.'s, they arranged to give the letters to the Minister in the House of Commons today. "These 1,800 letters are all Huron Farm news Do Chickens Prefer Mozart? Are your livestock music lovers? Do your cattle milk out better to the sounds of Charlie Pride? As many people. have known for a long time, animals are affected by music. Actually, you should be aware of how all types of sound affect livestock. The intensity of sound is measured in decibels (dB). The current allowable noise. level in factories for eight- hour exposure is90 dB. The frequency of sound has differenteffects on ,, animals and humans. The human ear is most sensitive in the range of 1000 to 3000 Hz. while cattle are most sensitive to sounds with a frequency of 8000 Hz. Sudden Lound, "impact -type" sounds are very stressful and frightening to animals. Sheep were tested for growth rates in six different sound environments. Those ex- posed to instrumental music at 75 dB gained weight faster than all other groups, in - chiding the control group. Soft instrumental music, is recommended for all types of livestock. It has a.soothing effect on them. The heart beat is lowered, indicating they are not under stress. When handling livestock, avoid making sudden Lound noises. A skilled, quiet handler making only a small "ssshh" noise can move more livestock per hour than DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE SPEAKING BEFORE AN AUDIENCE?

Knowing how different types of sounds affect - livestock may help you to decide what to aim for or avoid in the animal's en- vironment. I'm not trying , to get everyone to rush out and buy stereos and Mozart records like on .the TV commercial. Just keep in mind that livestock have ears and they are affected by what they year. - Ron Fleming Agricultural Engineer.

IN TOWN and don't know which way Po turn, call the hostess at S24-7165 You'll he glad you did from our area, but they represent the feelings ,6f farmers across Canada. Unless the government realizes how seriously its policies are affecting Canadian farmers, literally thousands of producers will be threatened with bankruptcy. We call upon the 'Minister' of Finance to change his policies before more damage is done," the three M.P.'s said. at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. The Livestock Management Tour has developed into a worthwhile and informative program for the young men and women who have participated. Government Grant Programs The following is a brief summary of some of the Government Grant Programs presently in . , ef- fect: Grain Embargo Grants: Farmers who marketed wheat, oats, barley and corn are eligible for grants as follows: Wheat - $5.78 per metric tonne - 16 cents a bushel; Oats - $4.86 per metric tonne - 7% cents a bushel; Barley $5.05 per metric tonne. - 11 cents a bushel; Corn $5.51 per metric tonne - 14 cents a bushel,; and Mixed grain - payment same as barley). This applies on grain marketed during the period from January 4 to July 31, 1980. It represents . an amount ' calculated. to represent income loss available at the Agricultural Office and at local feed mills. Beef Assistance Program's: Forms are available at the Agricultural Office for subsidies under two beef programs: 1. 1980 Beef Cattle Assistance Program for Slaughter Animals - Farmers who marketed finished (cattle during 1980 are eligible for a subsidy of $40 per head. 2. 1980 Beef Cattle Assistance Program for Stocker Animals - A $20 per head grant is available for stocker cattle bought by an Ontario resident as calves, fed in Ontario for at least 150 days, and sold for finishing pur- poses in 1980. The applicant must have sold at least 10 cattle to qualify for the grant and each stocker must weigh at least 600 pounds live when sold. Applications for both programs must be submitted before November 30, 1981. Hog Stabilization Programs. Ontario Sow Weaner Plan - This is a five-year plan divided into ten, six month periods. The number of sows must be registered for each period. The pay out will stablize price at between 90 - 95 percent of the average price for the past five years, with adjustments for changes in cash costs. Participants pay one-third of the cost and the Ontario government pays two-thirds. Forms are available at the Agricultural Office. Changes _-_.inl tick,) 'l,an_may_accu _iln-the_.. near future. D.S.
