Ms. Ryan is looking forward to meeting area farmers and feels by going directly to the source and evaluating what's there, the agencies and landowners involved can gain a better understanding of what remedial work is required. "It's time that we stop talking about the situation and go up the farm lanes and look at what's really there. It's time to approach the fanner and determine how to best solve the problem with his co-operation," Ms. Ryan hopes her farm visits will make people more aware of the small but effective ways they can improve water quality on their farms. So when Tracey knocks on your door and asks to see your barnyard, don't be surprised; It's, just one more way the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority is working with you to improve water quality in our Watersheds and the Great takes. Minister. appoints advisors Agriculture Minister John Wise an- nounced the recent appointment of two independent advisors to assist him in the establishment of a long-term dairy policy. The advisors will be led by Everett Biggs, a former deputy minister of agriculture and deputy minister of environment in Ontario. The other principal member is Benoit Lavigne, who until recently was president of la Regie des marches agricoles, which supervises marketing boards in the province of Quebec. The Minister is expected to name other advisors shortly. • "I've asked Mr: Biggs and Mr. Lavigne to consult with producer groups, processors, retailers and consumers, and to give me as soon as possible their expert advice on the' establishment of a new long-term dairy policy," Mr. Wise said. The Minister pointed out there have been changes to the structure and operation of the dairy industry since the 1980-81 review of long-term dairy policy. The advisors will study these changes and make projections on appropriate policy and programs concerning the industry for the balance of the decade. "My, aim is to put a Fong -term policy in place because stability is essential to a progressive dairy industry," Mr. Wise said, "That's why Pve asked the advisors to conduct these important consultations." Mr. Biggs and Mr. Lavigne have already begun their consultations with' interested' groups. ,1 Corn association to study American export systems Directors of the Ontario Corn Producers' Association (DCPA) have announced the. initiation of two studies on U.S. corn exports to Canada. According to Ed Kalita, OCPA president from West' Lorne, Ontario,' the first of these, being undertaken by Dr. Karl Meilke, a University of Guelph agricultural economist, involves an analysis of direct . and indirect subsidies paid by the U.S. and state governments on corn exported to -Canada. The second, in the hands of Dr. Uoyd Busch, recently retired pathologist and toxicologist, entails a study of the likelihood of aflatoxin contamination in U.S. corn exports to Canada. Aflatoxin is a potent mycotoxin, a liver carcinogen, which is produced by the mold organism, Aspergillus flavus, in corn grown in warmer climates. Canadian corn is virtually free of this toxin which is dangerous in parts -per -billion concentrations. Says Kalita, "Ontario corn producers have instituted these studies with some reluctance since Canada and the United States have historically kept their common border rela- tively open to the free flow of agricultural commodities. In fact, this flow has tradition- ally been to the advantage of the U.S. , with an agricultural trade surplus with Canada worth more than one billion dollars annually." "However OCPA feels it has no choice but to examine U.S. corn exports to Canada in the face of the restrictions which have been placed by state governors and other U.S. agencies on the entry of Canadian pigs." "Ontario now exports about 15,000 pigs to.. the U.S. weekly - which is equivalent to 8 million bushels of corn annually. At least some of these pigs are fed with the 20-30 million bushels of U.S, corn exported annually to Canada."
