Centralia College has new research farm near Exeter The purchase of a 60 -hectare (150 -acre) farm near Exeter will allow Centralia Col- lege of Agricultural Technology to improve its service to western Ontario, Agriculture and Food Minister Philip Andrewes said to- day. The farm, located about two miles (three kilometres) north of the college's Huron Park campus, will be used for research, testing and demonstrations, the minister said. The purchase will improve the efficiency of the college's research programs by con- solidating white bean, soybean, corn, canola and °rutabaga testing in one superior loca- tion," said Andrewes. The college has been renting land which is not tile drained, while the Perth and. Brookston clay loam soil of the new site is fully tile drained. New and unlicensed crop varieties for the 2,800 heat unit area will be evaluated at the new farm. Varieties for the 2,600 heat unit area will continue to be tested at the rented site in the Br1rc.SPi.c arp• Dr. J.C. Rennie, Assistant Deputy - Minister of Technology and Field Services, said the larger land area will allow for more effective evaluation of new herbicides and fertilizers through the rotation of test sites. Drainage studies, proposed by the col- lege's Agricultural Engineering Services as part of the college's new research and development mandate, will focus on finding ways to reduce winter canola root blockage of tile drains. Work has already started on the layout of research plot ranges for spring canola, while early construction of an implement shed and an agronomy field laboratory is planned. Centralia college is one of five col- leges of agricultural technology operated across the province by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Established in 1967, the college now has 325 full-time diploma students enrolled in agricultural business management; animal health technology and food management courses.
