The plot tour took in four fields of corn and soy- bean varieties. NK Seeds territory rep Eric Richter and agronomist Dave Townsend discussed the concerns of farmers about this year's crop and spoke about the importance of having a good portfolio for the land being used. Farmers listed maturity, rust, mould and firing up as some of the areas of concern. Townsend said frost can be an issue, but farmers also have to be aware that five consecutive days below 10 C can be harm- ful to the crops. Plants freeze at -3 C, but the chilling effect will shut corn down within 3-4 days if the temperature drops below 5 C. He said soybeans are more sunlight driven than corn and a frost can cause the crop to green out. Townsend said herbi- cides will affect corn roots and farmers should design their program to fit the plant variety. "There is no more important decision you make each year than the genetics you're going to put in your field," Richter said. He said there is no per- fect variety and it takes time to find the right seed for the soil conditions. "Try not to get forced into buying at a discount price," he said. He advised farmers to plant three to four vari- eties, consider the soil type and conditions and look at the history of dis- ease in the field. He said it is also the challenge of farmers to make sure the roots are healthy. Back at Borland Farm Services Mery Erb of Huron Ag Vise spoke to the group about the Farm for Profit system, wheat varieties and planting tips for wheat farmers. He said in order to get a good yield of soft white wheat farmers should be planting 160 pounds/acre. Soft red wheat has a bit better yield and 150 pounds/acre should be planted. Erb said it is easier to get rid hard red wheat and it will yield 12 bushels more per acre than soft red, so it is more prof- itable. He said winter wheat planted after Oct. 20 is a Male arrested for assault SOUTH HURON — On Sept. 12 at 1:15 p.m. the OPP responded to a report of an alleged assault at an apart- ment complex on Victoria Street in South Huron. A resident told the officer three males entered his unlocked apartment and confronted him about a theft in the area. The men left, returned a short time later and more words were exchanged. The victim alleged that during the argument one of the three males was pushed towards the door and then turned and punched the victim in the face several times. According to police, the victim has been diagnosed with a broken eye socket and nose. Later that afternoon the accused male turned himself into police. An 18 -year-old South Huron man has been charged with break and enter and committing the offence of assault causing bodily harm. He will attend court in Exeter Oct. 28.

CLASSIFIE poor risk since farmers will lose two-thirds to one bushel for every day they plant after Oct. 5. Don Good of New Hamburg spoke about market and weather trends. He said he takes his opinions from what he has learned in the markets. Good said he does not believe in the theory of global warming because weather cycles indicate a cooling effect. He said the weather has grown cooler since industrialization, adding record heat tem- peratures have not been broken since 1936 and this has been the third coldest August on record. "All markets react to the lunar cycles," he said. "What has happened in the past will happen again. It's all the cycles." He predicted corn prices will be low at the end of the month and swing high in December. He expects soybeans to do the oppo- site and said there is potential for upward movement in lean hogs and cattle. 7 Deadly Mistakes That Will Cost You Thousands When You Sell Your Home.
