Reduce Hydro bills Brussels Stockyard Report
"Reducing energy waste on the.
farm Gan save producers money,"
says Grant Webber, agricultural
energy conservation supervisor
for Ontario Hydro.
Here are 10 ways producers can
cut hydro bills without affecting
production.
1. Check the insulation in
ceilings and attics. Use insulation
with a minimum resistance to
heat transfer of R28 for ceilings.
Insulation in the walls of farm
buildings and residences should
be a minimum of R12.
The Huron County Wheat
Producers elected their executive
and committeemen for the
coming year with about one
percent of the members on hand
for the voting last Thursday.
A motion to postpone elections
until another meeting when more
members could be presented was
voted down by the gathering.
Provincial director Bob Henry of
Blyth blamed lack of advertising
and the poor travelling conditions
for the poor turnout, but said that
meetings generally are attended
by only 35 - 40 members, or five
percent of the wheat producers in
the. County.
Of the 600 wheat producers in
the county, only 11 attended the
annual meeting in the Clinton
Town Hall to return John Beane
of Clinton as president, and Bev
The annual meeting of the
Huron County Pork Producers at
the Clinton Legion last Wednes-.
day, Feb. 16, returned chairman
Elmer Harding, R.R. 1, Gorrie;
first vice chairman Tom Papple,
R.R. 4, Seaforth and secretary-
treasurer Lloyd Stewart, R.R. 1,
Clinton to the Association's
executive for 1977.
The meeting of 100 also
returned two-thirds of its 1976
township directors and delegates,
who will represent the association
at the Ontario Pork Producers'
Convention in Toronto, March 17
and 18. New faces to the
directorate are Colborne, Harm
Kloeze, R.R. 3, Goderich; Stanley
- John Paul Rau, R.R. 2, Zurich;
Stephen - Simon Brand, R.R. 1,
Exeter; McKillop - Robert Robin-
son, R.R. 4, Walton; Morris - Don
Henry, R.R. 1, Bluevale.

Dungannon; Goderich - Barry
Taylor, R.R. 3, Clinton; Hay - Joe
Miller, R.R. 1, Dashwood;

Grey Jim Williamson, R.R. 3,
Walton; Hullett - Lloyd Stewart,
R.R. 1, Clinton; Tuckersmith
Tom Papple, R.R. 4, Staforth;
East Wawanosh - Adrian Vos,
2, Check ventilation systems in
animal housing buildings. The
ventilation system should be tied
in with the heating system. Make
sure you are not pumping
purchased heat outdoors
unnecessarily.
3. Light only necessary areas.
4. Keep light bulbs clean. A
clean 60 watt bulb is more
effective than a dirty 100 watt
bulb.
5. Install dimmer light controls
where practical or install timer
devices to switch lights off and on
Hill of Varna as secretary-
treasurer.
Hill and Beane were also
elected as committeemen along
with Don Dodds and Russell
Bolton of Seaforth and provincial
director Bob Henry of Blyth. The
committee will meet to appoint a
sixth member to represent the
southern portion of the county.
At present, no committeeman
represents- the Exeter-area,
which supports the heaviest
_wheat production in Huron. Three
of the committeemen will repre-
sent the county with the remain-
ing three to act as alternates to
the Ontario Wheat Producers
Convention in Toronto March 14
and 15. The Huron delegates are
part of District .7 which includes
the counties of Perth, Waterloo,
Wellington, Grey and Bruce. ,
Blyth; West Wawanosh - Allan
Miller, R.R. 1, Lucknow; Turn-
berry - Glen McMichael, R.R. 1,
Bluevale; Howick - Elmer
Harding, R.R. 1, Gorrie.
The six directors at large for

3, Goderich; Don Geiger, R.R. -2,
Zurich; John Coleman, R.R. 1,
Zurich; William Leeming, R.R. 4,
Walton; George Campbell, R.R.1,
Seaforth; Doug Fraser, R.R. 2,
Blyth. Keith Small, R.R. 1,
Wroxeter; John Arts, R.R. 4,
Seaforth and David Taylor, R.R.
1, Zurich have been named as
alternates.
In conjunction with the
upcoming Ontario Pork Producers
convention, the Huron group also
drafted a resolution regarding a
change in the present hog
grading system.
The resolution asks the Board
to negotiate a grading system to
graduate from 180 pounds and
down, if it meets with the
approval of the packers. At
present, the grading system
graduates from 170 pounds and
down. Any hog weighing in over
170 pounds is ineligible • for the
grade index set at 100 to 112. The
resolution will be presented at the
March convention for approval
automatically,
6, Localize heat and light,.
Don't heat or light a whole area
when part will do. Put up a
curtain to keep heat and light in
one section of the building.
7. Reduce heat in farm build-
ings to .the requirements of the
animals or birds. Many farmers
are over-heating buildings for
personal - comfort. For dairy
cattle, temperatures of 7 deg.c or
45 deg. F. are sufficient.
8. Use proper wiring. Ten
percent of the production of an
electrical device on a farm can be
lost through too-small wiring.
9. Check the accuracy and
location of thermostats. Make
sure the thermostat is located
where it will not be unduly
affected by a nearby animal. Use
a thermometer to check the
accuracy of the thermostat.
10, Make sure taps aren't
dripping hot water. One drip of
hot water per second can mean
that 175 gallons of water are
wasted per, month.
"Although some of these
energy saving ideas may mean
spending more money now, they
will result in substantial savings
in the near future and greater
savings in the years to come,"
says Mr. Webber.
