Do farmers need vaca- tions? Should farmers take vacations? I think the answer is yes to both questions. 1 was recently on a fishing trip with ray brother to New Liskeard... At the campsite we noticed trailers and trucks with farm plates. To our left were two cash crop farmers from Tilbury area. To our right a cash cropper and a hog producer from Belmont area. For years all four (and wives, have been taking off the first week of J oh, to carnp and fish. Ilie farmers from Tilbury said their soybeans had herb- icide damage. The vacation An Expositor Classified wilipay you dividends. Have you tried one? Dial 527-0240. will keep them Erorn watching their beans while they are a most depressing sight. And there is nothing they can do about it anyway. These farm- ers needed a holiday as much as I did. Now banks and ONL4JF may be suggesting that farmers must stay home and tend the flock in these tough financial times; but I think everyone should get away from their problems for awhile. To avoid busy cropping periods the timing of a farmer's vacation is critical. Just don't line up your fishing trip when there is. a full moon - the fish won't bite. John Heard, Assistant Agr. Rep. Local ethanol plant The Huron County Federa- tion of Agriculture's monthly meeting is to be held at 8:30 on July 22 al the Hensall Public School. Guest speaker is Philip Durand. a Zurich - area farmer speaking about the production and planning of his family's ethanol manu- facturing plant. The Durand plant was constructed by the family members with the assistance of some government grants, Mr. Dand is especially int ted in the develop- ment of clean enemy. A solar collector and corn are used in their ethanol production sy- Stem. Mr. Durand will also dis- cuss the many uses of ethanol as a fuel and answer questions about the problems behind setting up and operat- ing suc_h a plant. Prices higher at Stockyards The market at Brussels Stockyards traded actively on a good demand at higher prices. Cows and pigs sold steady. There were 759 cattle and 1504 pigs on offer.

And those regulatm-y bodies include farm marketing boards. No doubt about it: Most farmers would welcome even a six -per -cent increase. Unfortunately. the announcement in Allan MacEachen's second attempt to mollify Canadians was vague enough to have farmers scratching their heads. 11 91 is a six -per -cent increase in farmers' returns. most farmers I know will be whooping with joy if marketing boards can get that much for hcm. If rt is a six•per-cent increase on prices at the retail level. tt's a lead•pipe cinch that farrners will not see much of that increase. If production costs can also be limited to a six•per-cent increase, I can see no reason wh% most farmers %couldn't be. able to bite with Farmers will also welcome the S100 million nou a% atlable to the Farm Credit Corporation. an organization that has been so strapped for money that man% farmers sere c-ut off month.; ago.
