Oil price hike costly to far
by Alice Gibb
Tony McQuail,
Lucknow area farmer
and the former co-
ordinator of Huron
County's Energy Con-
servation Centres, told
members of the Huron
Federation of Agriculture
that as crude oil goes up
in price, farmers' input
costs also increase.
The problem, Mr.
McQuail said, is that "we
in the farming industry
can't pass on these price
increases to the con-
sumers as quickly."
Mr. McQuail spoke to
federation members on
Thursday night at their
monthly meeting held in
the Clinton OMAF office.
In examining some of
the energy conservation
practices and renewable
energy ,options for the
farm, Mr. McQuail
pointed out farmers, as
well as the general
population, have become
heavily dependent on
non-renewable sources of
energy.
He said farmers could
face a situation where oil
supplies;,are exhausted,
and "we're in a crunch
sittiation." He said this
situation could be three
years from now or it
might not be for 25 years.
He pointed out farmers
once depended on the sun,
their own labor, and
organic fertilizer to
produce crops. He said
"More energy was
produced from the crops
than labor was put into
the system bythe far-
mer."
Today, however,
farmers depend on non-
renewal resources to
provide fuel for their
farm machinery, and
petro -chemical
derivatives are used in
both fertilizer and
pesticides.
Mr. McQuail said
farmers should look at
their own personal
system of energy use on
the farm and then
examine "what options
are open to us."
Finally, he said,
"Farmers should
evaluate how you can get
from where you are today
to where you'd like to be
down the line."
Mr. McQuail said
agriculture is presently
in a very vulnerable
position with its depen-
dence on crude oil energy
resources.
He suggested some
ways farmers can con-
serve energy in their
operations is to match
machinery to the work
it's required to do, to
insulate farm buildings
properly, utilize natural
ventilation and consider
using"` alternative energy
sources in the farm
operation.
Two such sources. Mr.
McQuail suggested were
using windmills to pump
water and using wood -
heated boilers to provide
heat, using wood from the
farm woodlot.
He said as the danger of
exhausting non-
renewable energy
resources. comes nearer,
scientists ands ethers are
becoming more practical
in their experiments with
alternative forms or
energy.
He said experiments
being carried out to
actors with alcohol

xperimenting

Mr. McQuail said
time to try to in
terconnect systems on
the farm again. For
example, an operation
which requires heat can
passively collect solar
heat from the sun on
sunny days. This can be
backed up with a wood-
fired boiler system to
supplement the sun's
heat or fuel oil can be
burned in "a generator
rather than a boiler to
produce electricity.

enough electricity could
be produced, it could be
sold to Ontario Hydro.
The secret of con-
serving energy, Mr.
McQuail said, "is to try
and make use of waste
from any one system as
an input - in another
system."
Following Mr.
McQuail's speech,
audience members
discussed whether
methane gas could be
produced in septic tank
systems and how to use
generators in a home
heating system.
In other business,
federation members
approved a resolution
submitted by the Grey
Township Federation of
Agriculture.
The resolution asked
that Farm and Country,
the OFA monthly
newspaper, be asked to
publish the Chicago live
hog futures in their
paper, since daily papers
have stopped carrying
the reports.
Carl Hemmingway, a
Brussels area farmer,
said he had always found
the Chicago futures a
reliable guide in his hog
operation.
Delegates who had
attended the recent OFA
convention in Hamilton
also reported on the
results of the convention.
OFA president Peter
Hannam was acclaimed
to office, with Ralph
Barrie, A Lanark County
farmer elected first vice-
president and Ron White,
a Middlesex County dairy
farmer, elected second
vice-president.
HPA delegate Bill
Pullen reported that the
1978 budget for OFA
activities was $1.18
million.
In response to a
member's question, he
said the federation didn't
low money this year,
since they are putting
money in ;a reserve fund
annually. The reserve
fund now stands at
$440,000 and the goal is to
build the fund to $1/2
million.
Mr. Pullen said the
OFA is budgeting to
break even in the coming
year, and this accounts
for the increase in the
OFA membership fee.
Membership fees in the
organization will in-
crease from $35 annually
to $50 annually in 1979,.
with a $5 a year reduction
for those who
automatically renew
their memberships each
year.
Good year in town
The value of building permits in Goderich to
the end of November, 1978, was $3,734,603 for 154
permits. That's up considerably over last year
when 116 permits were issued at a value of
$1,952,194. l
A large jump has been noticed in commercial
units - 27 permits in 1978 to date as against 17 in
the same period of 1977. Government and in-
stitutional permits are up too - from three valued
at $88,000 to seven valued at $354,228.
Single family residential permits are down
from 15 in 1977 to 10 in 1978 until Ole end of
November.
Permits for industrial buildings show a large
increase, too. There were eight permits issued in
1978 for a value of $1,096,766 while in the same
period during 1977, there' were three permits
issued to industrial sites for $695,000.
