It is a diverse industry which .provides the op- portunity'for as many farmers as posse bie.to participate. The vision is of an in- dustry which is active in all regions of Canada; an industry which provides Canadians with a stable supply of high quality, safe food, "This statement shows the growing frustration on the part of farmers," says CFA President Don Knoerr. "They are frustrated by the apparent vision of the future of our industry that is being presented by the government. It has dismantled policies and programs which are essential and fundamental to our in- dustry, and has rendered others ineffec- tive, Often this has been .done without consulting with farmers," frastructure. Canadian food producers must have government commitments in the areas of domestic and export marketing, farm finance, safety net pro- grams, and crop insurance, and in, the taxation system. They need strong and effective transportation policies and strong commitments to agricultural research and to the environment." What is more unacceptable to the CFA National Council is the fact•that all too often agendas are set and criteria are established without adequate consultation, or after discussions only with select in- dividuals. This leaves the main stream organizations who represent the majority of .farmers to only react after. the fact. .

Farmers considering!g !addition ,sof a cover crop :. Many farmers have added cereals to their crop rotations to help reduce the erosion problems from continuous row crops. After the grain is harvested, however, the ground is often' left bate un- til next spring. This is an ideal opportuni- ty to plant a cover or green manure Crop, and reap some of the many .benefits. Maintaining a cover crop over winter greatly reduces erosion by wind and water. Most of you will remember last winter when we had more brown snowbanks than white. A cover crop also increases soil organic matter which will improve soil structure anc tilth, and in- crease the moisture -holding capacity of the soil. A vigorous cover crop will reduce weed growth through competition for light and moisture. Legumes can pro- vide nitrogen for the subsequent crop and non legumes will capture residual nutrients which would have otherwise leached into the groundwater. Several species are suitable for cover crops, depending on your individual situa- tion. An ideal cover crop will establish quickly in existing soil conditions and produce .abundant top growth. It will not be a host for diseases and pests of the crop • to follow and it will be easily killed so it doesn't become a weed in subse- quent crops. It should also be relatively inexpensive and not require extensive ex- tra fertilizer. Cover crops can be established as easi- ly as by discing a field to encourage ger- mination of volunteer cereals or it could have been planted last spring by broad- casting red clover into wheat or •barley. Many cover crops, such as fall rye or oilseed radish, are planted into crop residue in late summer or early fall to allow top growth before winter. Any system can work as long as it is adapted to the conditions on your farm.
