corn yieldt'
Vanin
BY STEPHHANIIE LEVESQUE
Huron and Perth county farmers will
probably have average yields this year.
Corn crops in the two counties look pretty
good, according to Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food (OMAF)- officials.
Art Lawson from the Perth OMAF office
said corn is growin ahead of normal. A lot of
corn is not matut ttg though. and that k
expected to effect the yield. Both Mr. Lawson
and John Heard of the Huron OMAF office
said the amount of corn.planted is down this
Year.
"It's expensive to plant," said Mr. Heard, t
adding corn acreage is down five to 10 per
cent in Huron.
Besides being expensive to plant: there
wasn't a good price for corn at planting time.
More farmers planted cereal grains because
of lesser production costs, but Mr. Heard said
prices for those commodities aren't so good
now.
There isn't much root worm damage in the
corn crops, said Mr. Heard, which could be
because farmers sprayed more or there just

isn't as much infestation this year.
When asked about the sap beetle (or beer
bug, the small, pesky, black bug that always
lands in your drink when you're outside), Mr.
Heard said it doesn't go after corn, rather 0 is
attracted to rotting foods. On corn, it is after
the silk tassels. Some of these beetles have
been spotted in bean crops and are after the
dead flowers.
White beans are growing ahead of
schedule compared to last year in Perth
County. Mr. Lawson said good growing
conditions have contributed to that.
Mr. Heard agret•d with his counterpart
saying the bean crops in Huron look good. He
has heard of the problem of white mold on the
beans in at least one area in Huron. He cited
the perfect condition of hot, humid weather
which will bring on white mold. When
deciding whether or not to spray a bean crop,
Mr. Heard said there are a number of factors
to consider. These include a dense crop,
which doesn't allow for good air circulation
and a history of white mold in a Field.
Mr. Heard suggested farmers look closely
at all the factors together and spray the crop if
necessary. It's expensive to spray -he said, at
•
$25 to $30 per acre, but if white mold
conditions are there, it could mean the
difference in having -or not having a crop.
- Cereal crops such as oats and mixed grain
' are suffering sek'tne problems of irregular
growth,said Mr. Lawson. He added there
have -been a few isolated cases of spraying for
army worms and the insect leaf hopper has
affected some alfalfa crops.
Wheat in Perth County is not quite up to
the quality of last year. Mr. Lawson said the
wirier was tough and the crop wasput in
under 'poor conditions.
In Huron County, there is still some wheat
to be harvested, but Mr. Heard said there has
been a good yield, with 60 to 65 bushels per
acre, There is a good quantity of hay, but the
quality has been affected by frequent wet
spells, Mr. Heard said.
