Soil conservation a major priority in Ontario, Riddell says The Ontario government has put soil conservation at the top of the agenda, Agriculture and Food Minister Jack Riddell recently told the Soil Conservation Society of America, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Riddell said the govern­ ment's goal is to cut back on lost productivity due to soil erosion in the province. Our over-riding concern in the long run is -- how can we make the soil healthy again? And how can we sustain this health while enjoying high levels of crop production?’’ he said. Soil erosion is estimated to cost Ontario farmers about $75 million annually. He pointed out that although Canada has a large land base, only five per cent is farmland. Ontario statistics are somewhat better - close to seven per cent of the province is suitable for producing food. In contrast, 45 per cent of the U.S. land base is farmland. “Having a $15 billion-a-year business (in Ontario) dependent on a relatively small land base makes us doubly aware of the importance of soil conservation,’’ Riddell said. OMAF has taken two important steps in encouraging improved soil held on August 18 in the school at 8 p.m. There will be quilting, so quilters come early. The program guest, Millie Lobb will be demon­ strating silk flowers. Everyone is welcome. The Lyon family reunion was held on Sunday at Exeter Park.

A soil conservation and environmental protection cost-share program off­ ers financial incentives; Tillage 2000 is a long-term research and demonstration project that will compare conventional and conser­ vation tillage methods. The cost-share program, which runs until 1990, covers up to 50 per cent of the cost of grassed waterways, drop structures, terra­ cing and alternate watering sys­ tems for livestock. And OMAF will underwrite a third of the cost of manure storage and handling facilities. A financial assistance program is also available for erosion control in municipal drainage ditches and for training drainage contractors in installing erosion control devices. “All told, we’ve provided assis­ tance for 1,800 manure storage projects and over 1,400 soil erosion control systems across the pro­ vince," said Riddell. Tillage 2000 research takes place on the farm - in farm-scale field trials rather than, small research plots. Over the next five years, the ministry will conduct field experiements and compari­ Burns UCW gives to Scott mission Burns U.C.W. met on Wednes­ day afternoon at the home of Trudy Pollard with 14 members present.

Riddell also pointed out that the ministry is working with the federal government to develop a national approach to soil conserva­ tion. The recently announced $30 million Soil and Water Environ­ mental Enhancement Program (SWEEP) is a five-year joint federal/provincial project. SWEEP calls for a reduction of the phosphorous loadings in Lake Erie from cropland run-off, a decrease soil degradation and soil improve­ ment. “Generali speaking, there’s greater attention being paid to soil conservation in my home province. Ontario farmers are changing their tillage and cropping practices,” said Riddell. “And the govern­ ment of Ontario has developed a range of programs to encourage them to do so." TISSUE PKG.
