Incidents of poisoning most often occur when a farmer believes he must level off the silage at the top of the silo. In many cases, this is a job better left un- done. Indicators of silo gas are: 1. a brown or yellow haze at the silage surface or near the feed - room floor, 2. the coughing of livestock (animals close to the floor are exposed to heavier gas concen- trations than a person standing), 3. dead flies, cats, or mice on the feed -room floor. Tests have shown that running a blower for 20 minutes will likely disperse the gas if the silo surface is within 15 feet of the top of the silo and the silo doors are all closed. However, silo gas is unpredic- table. It's best to stay out of the silo. Be careful if there are open silo doors. The gas may spill down the chute. If there are open doors, keep the feed -room door shut and disperse the gas with a ventilating fan in the feed -room. Always be cautious. There have been too many tragedies, and re- cent wet conditions may increase the possibilities of a problem. Fire departments are available in the event of an emergency. ❑ John Heard Soils and Crops Specialist Perth County JOBS AVAILABLE The Bruce County economy will get a boost next year when a new distillery begins manufacturing ethanol, using steam energy from the adjacent nuclear generating station. The joint federal and provincial project was approved in July and will be located at the Bruce Energy Centre five kilometres east of the station. Using grain from area farms, a private consortium will distill ethanol as part of a govern- ment program to provide a fuel alternative to replace lead in gasoline. During the next two years the project will provide 50 to 75 con- struction jobs, and once opera- tions begin in August of 1987, there will be 25 full-time employees.
