Learning to manage on irregular income
BY LERA RYAN
FAMILY RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST
Farm families often think spend
ing plans for family living costs are
for people with regular pay checks.
But many persons do not have a
regular income. Real estate a-
gents, construction workers, sup
ply teachers, and small business
Andy Sande gets OMAF
owners as well as farmers cannot
predict exactly how much income
they will have or when it will come.
But they all know when their
regular family expenses come due.
Having an irregular income
increases the need to use a
spending plan. Here are some tips
to make that planning easier.
• When planning, underesti
mate income and overestimate
expenses.
• Know what your basic monthly
expenses are for family living.
• Keep careful records. Review
these records and adjust your
spending plans accordingly.
• Keep household funds separ
ate from business funds.
• Set aside funds for times your
income is low. We all need funds to
live on whether or not we have
income.

CONSERVATION TILLAGE
COMPETITION
Conservation tillage practices
have increased steadily across the
county. Some farmers adopted
conservation tillage to control
erosion problems, while others
have adopted this practice as a way
of cutting costs. In response to this
interest a conservation tillage class
is again included in the Huron
Plowing Match.
The conservation tillage class

• Write cheques for most
expenses. This makes record
keeping simpler and helps many
people resist impulse buying.
• Negotiate with insurance
people, for example, to schedule
irregular expenses for months with
higher income.
• Discuss with everyone in your
family just what the financial
situation is. Children heed to know
that even when income is low, their
needs will be looked after.
competition is scheduled for Satur
day, at the farm of Murray Cardiff.
This is an excellent informative
eventto attend whether you are
practicing conservation tillage or
are considering conservation till
age. The event will reveal the
techniques used to set up your
implements to get desired conser
vation and crop production bene
fits. It will also demonstrate some
of the different implements which
are available for conservation
tillage.
The conservation tillage class is
open toall farmers and dealers,
and includes use of any primary
tillage implement. The plots are
scored in six categories; percent
residue, depth of tilled soil, surface
roughness, energy efficiency,
general appearance and safety.

Mycotoxins which are toxic
chemicals produced by several
kindsof molds in plant material
either in the field or in storage have
created problems over the last
year. It is very possible that these
same problems could occur again
this fall. Therefore, it is imperative
that pork producers are aware of
the problems so they can effective-
ly manage them if they occur.
