Don k!u11en�; the Associate AgrlellItitral fSep•F resentative, is actively, engaged in- the Senior programs in the County, along with helping Mr,' David Inglis, our Extension As- aistarit, with the 41 program. Mr. Pullen will be reporting to you in regards to the Junior Extension program. Our Agri- cultural Engineer, Mr. Bert Moggach, is taking a big part in Agricultural 'Extension and at present is working in both Huron 'and Perth Counties. Mr. Donald Holmes, the Assistant Engineer is doing a very capa- ble job in such, areas as field drainage surveys and agricul- tural building plans. . , Again there appears to be an increase in the production of crops in.Huron.County, and not surprisingly, because Huron is one of the most specialized Ag- ricultural areas•ie the Province. The 1966 Agricultural statis- tics for Ontario' again shows Huron as one of the ,top pro- ducing Counties in the Prov- ince. For example, Huron shod first with total cattle a't 2132, 149 head and second in total hens and chickens at 1,888,714. Huron stood 'second in field crops with a total acreage sof 406,333. As for value of these crops, Huron was fourth with a total value of $26,621,400. Huron stood first in the acre- ages of such crops as fodder corn, dry beans and barley. These above figures show us that Huron is maintaining its high standard in the Agricul- tural -Industry of Ontario. We are continuing to offer educational programs to the farmers in Huron County. We feel that in order for a farmer to be successful, hemust keep abreast with the new aril mo`d- er n ideas in this rapidly expan- dingg and competitive industry, :During this past year; three lo- cations were set up for night school classes in 'Fordwich, Clinton and Winghatn. The sub- ject was Farm Management and such topics as sources and uses of credit, decision making, bud- geting, and use of farm records here discussed. At present,. I am teaching a 26- week course in Farm Management, held one day a week in the afternoon. This coming year, )3ert Mog- gach will be offering another course in Machinery and Equip- ment similar to the one held in 1967. David Inglis, our "Extol - shin Assistant, will'be. offering a new course in Forage Crop Production, commencing in Jan- uary, 1968. Don Pullen, Assoc- iate Agricultural Representa- tive, will be giving a special course on soils as it applies to the making of Fertilizer Rec- ommendations. This course will: be held at three different times with each session lasting two days. We hope this agricultural training will be of value to the .farmers in planning and managing xhel ,resent fad►-. in}g., ioperntioas, i 7'p a beef +i>«dust„ry^ has re;atain ed steady ih I•Iuron over this past year 'witli ,the dei for choice cattle remaining high, Many beef producers have been successful due to the purchas- ing of feeder,,s at a good ptiee ,at the ,beglimi lg' of the- year. -At pre,se1}t, them 4seen s to 'be. a good Supply of stockers ,and feeders available which seems to be aide 40 be purchased at a fair price. The dairy industry in the county !Its had. a few obvious changes in the past year and, previous, such as the .decrease in the number of her i oduc- ing anilk and the increase... ih. each individual herd s}ge Many. changes haVe ,come about this year in such areas aa' <ttiot'as, pricing and espdcially in the whole dairy policy, The future looks for such things Is pool- ing of milk which; .could •be a big step toward, the betterment of the industry. This is a very trying time for the dairy farm- er with all these changes 'prim- ing about and he must be en- couraged to remain as the fut- ure looks 'brighter to those who test their herds and pay atten- tion to dairy economics. There seems to be a trend toward the building of farrow- ing houses in the county with the farmers becoming, very aware of the controlled envir- onment factor. Prices remained fairly good over the year but have dropped off slightly near the end. This may not have too much of a factor as the. price df weaners is also ,low at pre- sent. The turkey and broiler enter- prises have had their troubles during the year but • conditions appear a little brighter at the moment. Laying lien enterprises may have some difficulties with many new buildings being built under contract.: The hay crop in Huron yield- ed exceptionally well but due to poor harvesting-, conditions there is a lot of poor quality hay on the farms in the county. White beans yielded average in central Huron but very low in the south. This low yield was brought about because of the very wet Juice and the late plant- ing date of the crop. 'The"white bean price is high but mak not offset reduced yields. Shelled corn yields and ensilage corn yields were excel- lent this year. Spring grains grew exceptionally well and thus produced a crqp that was very susceptible to lodging lat-, er on. This rapid growth in June and July which prpd'uced great stem growth was due to the high level of moisture during these month's. All in all, the 'field crop situation booked good over this past .year with the quality and yields of crops re- maining ata respectable level. On behalf of myself and ev- eryone in the office, I would like •to say that it has been a pleasure to work'with the peo- ple of Huron County. The co-op- et`ation from all concerned, es- pecially your Warden, your County Clerk and his Assistant, is very muc)} appreciated. • Again, we would like to ex- press our -thanks to the mem- bers. of Huron County Council for the financial support they give to the many organizations. This is the kind of thing that will build agriculture in Huron and make our farmers strive for, higher ideals, We "would like toy thank the press, the radio, and TV for their interest and support in the work that we do by promot- ing our educational -programs NOTICE - Town of Seaforth PARKING To facilitate snow removal, NO PARKING on the Streets of this Municipality will be allowed between the hours of 2:00 _a.m. and • 8 :00• a.m. This order will be strictly enforced in accordance with the Highway Traffic Act, ,Section 89, Sub -section 9. • ' NO'T`ICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Municipality will not be responsible for any damages caused to parked vehicles the fesult of snow removal operations.
