get in contact with the agricultural office
and get direction from there.
"Normally we get contacted by the
farmer and then it would be a case of
depending on what his enterprises were
and what size of operation he had," Mr.
Miller said.
Each asset has a certain way it's
transferred. he added.
People can come in and discuss inform-
ation and ideas with the agricultural office
and then can come back later when the),
realize what's involved in incorporating the
farm. Normally a lawyer and an accountant
are also involved in the process.
Some of the things the agricultural office
dicusses with the farmer before he goes to
the lawyer are whether the intent is to
transfer assets through a share structure, if
the intent is to provide a multiple
ownership structure, andhr the splitting of
income.
There are different sorts of organizations
within a corporation and every one is pretty
well tailor-made to the needs and wants of
the people involved.
After the different representatives in the
agricultural office have been told why the
people want to incorporate their farm, they
advise then specifically as to what's
involved with incorporation and also if they
feel the reasons aren't good enough will
advise people not to incorporate.
Solar energy research
Zags here:Ridgetown prof
Solar energy technology could be a little
'slow in development in Canada according
Helmut Speiser, energy management
specialist at Ridgetown College of Agri-
cultural Technology.
Research and utilization of solar energy
:n Canada is lagging behind efforts in the
U.S. he said.
"They're doing it, we're not. I don't
think there's enough research. I think it
could be more widespread."
Solar energy could be the alternate
energy source farmers need when con-
ventional fuels are too scarce or too
expensive for heating buildings, or drying
crops, he said.
But for now, since no one knows when it
will be needed and since there's more
research being done in the U.S. on solar
energy, Ontario farmers have adopted a
wait-and-see attitude, Speiser said.
At present, solar technology is costlier
thaw conventional heat and it is not as
efficient.
Speiser, whose job it is to collect and
pass on information about solar
technolo gy's application in agriculture
admitted there is little incentive now for
farmers to jump on the solar energy
band -wagon. But it cannot be ignored as a
future alternate energy source as
traditional fuel gets more expesive.
"I think it has potential in agriculture.
You can build it yourself, and I think it
could prove economical."
"The technology suits the need very
well. It's just a matter of getting the costs
down." Speiser said.
Nylon tow rope can
be giant slingshot
Nylon rope is commonly used to pull
stuck vehicles out of snow or mud. The
nylon's 35 percent stretch factor turns the
rope into a giant spring. From a running
start, a towing vehicle can get a much
larger piece of equipment moving.
The resiliency of nylon rope also makes it
potentially lethal. Rope is rated to with-
stand a limited load, depending on
diameter. If these limits are exceeded, or if
the rope is worn, it could break while being
stretched. The nylon rope then becomes a
